If you’ll be going on a date any time soon, there are some foods you should avoid.

If a dinner date is in your near future, order carefully if you’re hoping for another date. 

Here are some foods you both might regret from the dating experts at Marie Claire:

• Garlic: No amount of gum or mints can overcome the pungence of the stinky choice, avoid at all costs.

• Spaghetti: There is nothing romantic about sucking stray strands or splattering sauce.

• Beans: Just don’t.

• Spinach: It will find a place to hide in your teeth.

• Soup: Save that for sick days, cold nights and liquid diets. 

• Spicy Food: Avoid the really hot stuff. Watering eyes and guzzling relief isn’t sexy.

• Asparagus: Our bodies convert the acid in there into sulfer-containing molecules that can leave quite the scent. Skip that unless you’re going straight home.

• Red Meat: Great taste, smelly results. This is one you should actually avoid for 24 hours before the date.
