My favourite type of date is dinner.  It can get quite expensive!

My last previously arranged dinner date was at the end of a day long 
event.  Alas, my partner was not hungry.  She had the courtesy to tell
me in advance, so what did we do?  (No, I didn't chase her around Central
Park until she got hungry, that was somebody else :-)  We skipped it.

Normally, my dinner dates are to places where portions are shared.  That way,
when my partner isn't able to eat as much as I, I eat 60% and she eats 40%
(or other appropriate percantages).  If that's still not enough, what is 
wrong with the Doggie Bag?
