What restaurant is right for the first date

WHERE TO TAKE HER ON YOUR FIRST DATE


Today I did reviewed a local restaurant called Mezza Luna in Keller Tx (between Dallas and Fort Worth) that I think is an excellent place to take a woman for a first date.


I don't recommend inviting 16 women a week to meet you at Starbucks. This is like emailing "flirts" or those canned messages. Why not be discriminating, choose those who really appeal to you, for all the right reasons, and give it a good start and make a good impression by taking them to dinner. But not a chain restaurant! That's the ":-)" thing again. Show that you are discriminating. That's what a woman is looking for.


Why do I recommend this one:

• It is easy to get to, and to find. Off 1709, a major thoroughfare, one that's easy to drive, and one that is about midway between Dallas and Ft. Worth.



• It is in a wide, designer type 'strip' center, where the building stands higher than any others there, and the name is on it. Again, easy to find. It stands out.



• There is plenty of parking and no garage to have to mess with.



• When you walk in, there is a real foyer entrance. This sets a nice tone, and there are chairs if the lady should have to wait.



• It is open from 11 am to 10 pm, which gives you wide latitude ... early lunch, lunch, late lunch, cocktails and heavy hors d'oeuvres, dinner, late dinner ...



• There is a pianist there who plays on the weekends. This is a lovely touch as you can request something meaningful, or simply beautiful. I always ask for O Sole Mio. If you know the lyrics of this great Neapolitan love song, well it's what we all want in our love ...roughly translated ... "It's my own sun that's in your face! The sun, my own sun! It's in your face!



• Ask for a table farthest from the piano though, so it isn't too loud for conversation.



• It has white tablecloths. Need I say more? There is a white candle on the table.



• It is quiet enough to be romantic if you like, and to be able to talk; without being intimidating or overdone or "too" elegant for early dating.



• The food is excellent AND is reasonably priced. It somehow makes the right impression. Taking a woman out for a $50 steak is somehow overkill.



• The service is good. You should not have to worry about that.
  
• Like Goldilocks, it's not too big, it's not too small, it's just right.
  
• The menu is Italian, but not so much it knocks you over the head.
  
• And lastly, what smells better than entering an Italian restaurant??

Find a restaurant that sets this kind of tone - Excellent and understated, with those white tablecloths! And where the location is not stressful. This allows you to devote your attention to the important part - getting to know each other.
