Then this is the guide for you! Just make sure not to go for the O2 Dinner in the Clouds if your date is scared of heights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part 2 in the London Date Bucket List series! This one takes direct inspiration from the DM I received.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok, who doesn\u2019t want a fancy candlelit or rooftop dinner? Sounds like everyone\u2019s \u201ctype of date on paper\u201d. Rooftop sushi, anyone? Yummy food and good convo, it\u2019s a winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or is it? Sometimes things can get a little too intense. Or maybe there are too many awkward silences. Oh and how have some restaurants still not caught on to the fact that you shouldn\u2019t sit *opposite* your date, but *next* to them &#8211; if you know you know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, here\u2019s a selection of foodie dates.
