Why the restaurant first date is dead
illustration in reference to this graph from the story pur-fw-firstdate-restaurant-0207: Jay Liu wouldn’t usually accept meeting for fast food for a first date, but made an exception when a guy he was chatting with proposed they meet at Jollibee, the Filipino chain. Liu, 36, had heard all the hype about it and had never been – he was curious. The chain’s signature is fried chicken and spaghetti, and he ordered both. Big mistake. “I remember feeling like it would be good to invite him back to my place but I didn’t feel great,” said Liu, who works in business analytics at an e-commerce firm. Bloated and tired from the fast food feast, Liu told his date he wanted to get together again and went home alone.
