Wear what you want. If she digs you it won't matter, if she doesn't it still won't matter.

I wear a jacket all of the time, but I rarely wear a suit or a tie unless I am giving a presentation or going to a wedding or a funeral. I think a jacket with no tie and nice jeans or pants is a very versatile look that is appropriate for a range of dates from a bar or nightclub to a nice restaurant, at least this time of year.

Maybe it is a sign that I am getting older, but the women I have dated post divorce in my 30s love the tweed. I felt like I was a walking stereotype or something when I sported a tweed jacket with elbow patches (I am a professor at a liberal arts college), but I got a whole lot of compliments about how I was dressed.

Even if you look good in a suit, I wouldn't wear it unless you are positive that she is getting dressed up as well so you don't make her feel under dressed.

im extremely happy with my choice , I only hope the lady im having dinner with tonite doesn't feel upstaged , I get the impression shes not one for cocktail dresses etc , she might think im going too upmarket too quickly , some say you need to ratchet up your attire at a steady pace when it comes to dating

Haha, that´s what i was thinking. Besides, i really wonder what´s wrong with it. I mean, that´s definitely a word that i would use. English is not my first language, though.
I just never heard from you for whatever reason. I still think you're cool. That's all.

is a suit a prerequisite for visting a decent restaurant , I do dress well but I don't and have never been into suits
Seems old fashioned. I don't recall seeing anybody wear a suit in a restaurant, unless it's lunch hour and they're going back to the office. Most patrons are casual.

Suits are very RARELY a prerequisite anymore, but that won't stop me from wearing one. I love my suits. And I'm horrified by other people's fashion choices. But they're THEIR fashion choices, so I keep my mouth shut.

The original sentiment applies. Wear what's comfortable for you, within the boundaries of "acceptable". You'll carry it better than dressing up to impress.
