I love cooking and I often cook for family and friends. I find it easy and enjoy preparing a menu for friends and family. However, the only time I find it hard to prepare a menu is when I invite my date for the first time for a meal. Do any of you find it difficult to cook for your date for the first time? Do you get as stressfull as I am now because I will be cooking for him tomorrow evening? Any ideas on what to cook will be very helpful.

you could take the pressure off yourself and order out:)

My advice is not to cook anything too fancy. You are going to be worried enough, so don't make it worse by stressing out over a really complicated menu.
When I cooked for my boyfriend the first time, I made him a meal that I was both familiar with making, but also one that showed my background. I also wanted to be careful because I didn't want to make him anything that might have been to adventurous seeming or unfamiliar to him. In the end, I ended up making him spaghetti and meatballs with the sauce and meatballs from scratch. The nice thing is that I could cook most of it the day before.
If you want something more fancy, I would suggest a roast chicken (it's easy and makes a great presentation) or maybe pork or lamb chops. Just stick to what you know and everything will turn out great.
