Learning Chinese: Taking her out for dinner

My Chinese lessons are back, because I'm eager again to learn more. I'm sorry for the long break, but I do wonder if anyone followed. Well, who knows, maybe this will be useful to someone in the future. It certainly is useful to me. This time we will focus on taking the girl out to dinner. These phrases are more casual in the beginning and romantic at the end. It's more about the procedure of going to dinner, but I won't give you advice for flirting with the girl here. Please go to this post, if you're planning to flatter her while dining.
