Dating is hard work, we all know that. That is why all of us just needs every little help we could get, especially when it comes to not being a complete idiot when out on a nice night-out with a beautiful lady or a handsome bloke. But as much as we planned everything that will happen during a romantic dinner date, there are still thing that could go wrong. Maybe it's because the dating gods and goddesses just wanna test us or just wanna have fun in our expense. But no matter what it is, we should always handle every situation like seasoned veteran so we don't make fools of ourselves in front of the people we so badly want to impress. So here are just some date mishaps that could happen and ways you can get out of them.

1. The Spray. The saying "Say it, don't spray it" pretty much is always the rule when you are out on a date. But we all know that it can happen to anyone, even the most classy and poised individual out there. So when this happen, casually wipe the area where the "rain" fell. If in case there are bits of food that was part of the "downfall," pick them up without your date noticing it. But if it's too noticeable already, just laugh and shrug the situation and don't make a big deal out of it. You can apologize for it, but not too much.

2. The Whole Tooth. You're eating and you just can't stop enjoying the delicious food, especially you are with someone you like so much. And all of a sudden, your date tells you that you have something stuck between your teeth. It could be poppy seeds, lettuce, meat or spinach, but you can still get away with your dignity even after a mishap like this. Just smile and excuse yourself so you can remove it. Just don't do it in front of your date and you're all good. Just get up and go to the bathroom and clean your teeth there.

3. The Spaz. This situation is a bit tricky. Because you are on dinner and eating some food, probably something with sauce can spill, or maybe wine, there is always an instance that it will spill on you. So if this happen, act out innocent but just smiling and maybe saying "whoops!" This way, your date may actually find you cute. But of course after that, you need to clean up the mess by using a napkin to wipe out the damaged area. If ever you need more time with it, just excuse yourself and go to the bathroom and do the scrubbing there. Just don't take too long of a time.

4. The Drop Out. Food are not the only thing that can fall down. Utensils may also end up leaving the table and down on the floor. If this happen, don't you pick that spoon or fork up. Instead, call a waiter and tell him what happened. He'll be the one who'll take care of your dilemma by handing you another utensil.

5. The Food Face. Delicious food, nice ambiance and a romantic set-up - you will surely get carried away with eating so food may end up in your face. So if that happens, just wipe it off gently. If in case it is your date you noticed it and told you about it, just smile or laugh a little, wipe that food off your face and say thank you. Just don't make a big deal about it and go on with your wonderful date.

So there you go. A list of some of the most common date mishaps. They may be little and simple by nature, but they can really ruin a date when not handled very gracefully and carefully. Just follow these simple advice and you're on your way to that elusive next date.
