Serve him plain rice and nothing else. He won't expect that.

There are just sooooooooo many inappropriate images that spring to mind that should never be put to pen on this site.

Rice is an under-appreciated foodstuff. Mostly I prefer basmati because of its fluffy texture and sweet flavor. It has never attracted a pretty girl to the table, though.

I agree Expat ... I am not saying the other obvious comments.

Rice actually was important during my dating years!
Back then, taking a lady out properly was expensive. One day, really wanting to go out with my current but stony broke, I halfheartedly suggested she come over to my place for a home-cooked meal. Surprisingly, she accepted (I'd never gotten her to go home with me before).
Tomato granita, sweet-and-sour shrimp on a bed of rice, broiled asparagus in pepper sauce, and chocolate cheesecake for desert. She was thoroughly seduced before we left the table. 😊
Asking a lady over for a meal became the main part of my repertoire.
Rice is an important part of many great dishes. Learning to make it right really pays off -- most ladies were used to rice being a pasty, tasteless thing and were greatly were impressed with the way mine turned out. They began to consider me something of a magician (some also considered me gay, which was perfect because it meant their guard was down when I did make my move).

So we could say that when their guard was down you riced right in.
But, we know, that fools rice in where angel food cake gets stepped on.

They've done worse. Much, much worse. Just two years earlier, I believe:
