There’s always a dilemma whether a date, serious talk with your partner or other occasion should take place at home or at some fancy restaurant. If the dinner is supposed to be served at home, how many dishes should be served and should it be self made? If the dinner is supposed to take place in a restaurant: how to pick the right one?

If the occasion is the first date, you should pick restaurant, because noisy surroundings will give you an opportunity to relax, you won’t necessarily have to talk all the time and the evening won’t get tensed. While choosing restaurant have in mind that choosing very romantic or fancy one can make your date feel uncomfortable, so try to pick something cozy and rather ordinary for your first date.

If you already know the person and the date is first only technically, dinner at home is a good idea too. Just don’t make too much of it, serve one dish, make a dessert and buy a bottle of wine. The table shouldn’t be served very fancy; it’s not a romantic dinner, that’s only a first date. Very fancy dinner will probably tense the atmosphere, while simple table with self made food (you have to make it your self if you’re inviting person) will help you relax. Your date will definitely feel more comfortable while having an ordinary dinner with the person he or she adores.

If the occasion is very special, for example you’re planning to ask her or him to marry you the place and the atmosphere is definitely very important. Both variants restaurant and home is suitable. If you would like to do it at home, serve three dishes including desert, get a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne. Serve fancy dinner, light candles, turn on some music (make sure he or she likes it), get her or him flowers and don’t forget to dress properly.

If you decide that restaurant is a better place for such occasion – be very attentive and make sure your partner will like it. The restraint should be on of the best in your town, romantic atmosphere is required and you’d better book a table to make sure everything goes right. If you’re inviting her or him to go out, you should warn the person that you’re going to a fancy restaurant for he or she would get ready and wouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable in a fancy restaurant dressed as for one of ordinary dates.

The majority of people like to have dinner at home better than at restaurant. It guarantees that person cares about you. Just make sure you don’t make too much of some occasion. Making dinner together is also a great idea. Of course it’s not the best idea for your first date.

Actually it doesn’t really matter there the dinner takes place; the most important thing is atmosphere. If you feel comfortable and cozy together and being alone is not a problem for you, feel free to ask the person home. Just have in mind that sometimes dinner at home means something more than only dinner…
