You got 12 out of 25!

First dates can be stressful and nerve-racking for anyone. Whether you're going out with someone you've never met before from a dating app, or a friend that you're spending time with in a romantic capacity for the first time, it's perfectly normal to feel a little nervous and worry that things won't go well. Many people choose to share a meal together as a first date activity. And that's when things can get interesting.

There are many foods that are pretty safe to eat without having to worry about stains or spills or scents that may ruin a first impression. But there are also plenty of messy foods with the potential to make the date go sour. Garlic bread, for instance, leaves you with garlic breath and crumbs all over your carefully put together outfit. Any dish that's saucy may mean you're probably going to get sauce all over yourself.

But there's no denying that messy foods tend to be the most delicious foods too. Some of us would not mind eating them on a first date nonetheless. Go through this list of messy foods, decide whether you will eat them on a first date, and we'll gauge how brave you are.
