You don't want to get the most expensive thing obviously, but you also don't want to get the cheapest. I recomend the chicken as it is usally cheap and delicious!

88,

I won't [censored] with you thought it's tempting.

Just follow his lead. If he orders a drink, order something similar and basic (eg no [censored] daquiris, think vodka tonic or such), no beer unless he orders one first (unlikely). To be clear, no drinks unless he goes first.

As for food, same deal. Match his courses so you're not sitting there plateless like a tool. Pick something you like and don't worry so much about price, he won't care if it's $38 vs $30 dollars. He's not paying.

J

Edit: Oh and steer away from something that may give you the [censored]. I made the mistake once at a company dinner. [censored] that sucked.

Do you really not know what to do? FFS order a beer if you drink beer, order a glass of wine if you drink wine. Order what you want to eat. Don't be a penis. That is all.
