The 7 Chillest Things To Eat Together On Your First Hang-Out

The perfect balance between cool and delicious.

Figuring out what you're gonna do with your new friend the first time you hang out with 'em is always tricky. You don't wanna jump in with something too weird or crazy, but you wanna make a good impression on your potential new BFF, too.

Going out for a bite together is always a safe bet - scientific studies say that people do their best bonding over sharing a meal and eating together. But what do you order?

4. Smoothie

Delicious, filling, and you can hold it in one hand - the smoothie is the alpha and the omega foodchoice for building a friendship on the go.

5. A slice of 'za

Everyone loves pizza, that's not up for debate - the question is, how much does your new friend love pizza?

6. Ice cream

Nothing says "fast friends" like competing to see who can snarf down a ice cream quicker in blistering heat! (If you two are truly insane, go at it in winter.)

7. Fruit
