HEY LADIES! Do you ever get a little embarrassed eating something messy in front of a guy you like?

I can eat chicken wings like a boss at home, but if I go on a date to a wing place, I get really self conscious about eating them because I know I’m a messy eater.<br><br>I once was on a date at a buffet and I was eating calamari and I got the sause all over my face and the guy I was with went silent. Some days I still think about that moment. <br><br>How do you navigate this? Do you avoid messy foods completely? Do you power thru?<br><br>Thanks in Advance!<br><br><br>P.S. I know I should probably just get over it but I haven’t been on a date in a long time so it’s been on my mind.
