Just a caveat that wasn’t really mentioned in the article–if you’re taking an Asian out to sushi, the chopstick and food awkwardness may end up being one-sided (with you appearing to be the clumsy one). S/he may also be disappointed by the quality if you’re in a, ah, less ethnically diverse place. Personally, I (female Asian) would appreciate a classier sit-down regardless of the cuisine, so long as it seems like a thoughtful choice.
