I think Nova's right on this 1 - nothing to do with
PUA or building comfort, just weird being with an ex, but only if you let it be weird!
Tips for the meal however:
- Skip the candles - too cheesy, instead if you have a dimmer switch or some less harsh lighting like table/standing lamps elsewhere.
- Prepare everything before she arrives - spend your time with her not mixing and prepping stuff in the kitchen
- Have some music on in the background - something nice and easy that isn't overbearing, it creates a nice atmosphere and keeps off silences.
- Tidy up - lay the table, scrape you grundies off the floor etc.
Good luck!
