Dinner date

An arranged evening at a restaurant where the companion joins you as a guest at the table. In Dubai it usually means a nine o'clock reservation in the Marina, DIFC or Downtown, two or three hours of conversation, and a reservation that stays in the host's name. It is the most common first introduction, because it asks nothing of either person beyond an evening.
