Taking leftovers home on the first date - bad look?
Is it a bad look to take leftovers home on a first date?
My parents both insisted it should never be done. My dad said it's not classy and gives a guy the wrong impression. He couldn't really articulate what impression that would be, lol. But in their mind it's just poor taste to do so, and they were adamant.
Is this a generational thing?
If I loved the meal and there's plenty leftover, I don't see anything wrong with taking it home. I thought a man would perhaps see that as a green flag that I'm not wasteful or didn't appreciate the meal? But mostly I just never thought twice about it.
What's the consensus here?
