Perhaps the best barometer of when a relationship makes that leap is when one or both members of a couple feel close enough to ask their mate if they have anything in their teeth. This is, of course, followed by a big flash of teeth and a close inspection by the trusted mate. There is a time at the beginning of a relationship when both members of a couple eat, keep their mouths mostly closed until they can steal away to the rest room to check in the mirror, and then return and commence talking. That kind of etiquette is nice, but I think being able to show your spinach-laden teeth is also nice in its own way. It means you’re at that point in coupledom where you know you will not be shunned for having half a pork chop stuck in your canines. Now, if someone asks you this on the first date and does actually have something in his/her teeth, I’d skip the coffee and dessert and head home…alone.
