What is a classy food for a first date. I made a clearly horrendous blooper that could have literally ended in a bloodbath when I ordered FF and proceeded to cover in ketchup! I know white wine is a possibility but any other hints?

It's not like white wine is a typical substitute for french fries
Did someone comment on your french fry order??
I think it's probably the "covering in ketchup" that was the faux pas:
Next time, just dip, and hold out your pinkie while you do it. That's EXTRA classy.

Anyone that uses “classy”, isn’t. Neither is anyone that would make an issue out of what you ordered on a date if it was available on the menu. You should not be worrying about what you eat on a first date, other than not ordering the most expensive thing on the menu or something you will be uncomfortable eating, or that might cause gastrointestinal issues.

Him: Babe, why don't you just put the ketchup all over your fries?
Her: What if I decide I don't want ketchup on this fry?
Him: Well...yeah, but...
Her: What if I want to eat it naked?
Him: I mean...I never said you...
Her: What if I want to taste every inch of salt on this one particular fry?
Him: What are you...
Her: IS IT SO WRONG THAT I MAY WANT TO SAVOR EVERY BIT OF SODIUM CHLORIDE ON ONE PARTICULAR FRY?
Him: .......

Do you think ordering FF was ok? Nobody actually said anything, but, man I felt really uncomfortable as if a man with a chain saw might come running out and cut my head off at any minute after this crazy maneuver I pulled at lunch. I thought I was being so smart meeting a first date for lunch instead of dinner then I pull this crazy shenanigan!
Why are you obsessing over French fries? And what do you mean, "a classy food for a first date"? Are you planning a picnic, or a home-cooked meal? In most cases, the choices depend on what the restaurant offers. So we can't help you, until you tell us what type of restaurant you have in mind. Hint: some "restaurants" don't offer classy food. Only "food". I think of it more as food substitutes. Are you sure your dates can afford real restaurants with real food? I'm not sure why I'm having doubts...

You are seriously over thinking this! If the establishment offered fries on the menu, it was perfectly acceptable to order them. Who doesn’t love fries? And who eats fries without ketchup? There are many nice restaurants that offer fries (regular, truffle, sweet potato) fries with their $16 grass fed burgers or sandwiches. Now if you were sticking your fries up your nostrils or pretending the ketchup was blood, that would be a serious faux pas! Otherwise, relax! I’m sure your date thought nothing over it- or he was glad you didn’t pretend you don’t eat like many ladies do.
In fact a woman that wants fast food like french fries is a keeper.
Some guys make the classic mistake of going all out and fancy on a first date, reserving a table for two at some five star, fancy schmancy restaurant, thinking this will 'impress' her. Then they come onto this forum and cry and wonder why their 'girlfriend' never returns the text or never wants to hang out anymore.
First date should actually be something simple, like a coffee date.

If I was to go to a Thai eatery what would you suggest? I only make reservations so there will clearly be no home cooked meals or picnics happening especially if I'm making crazy embarrassing eating choices like FF smeared in ketchup I mean next thing I know I will order a fish head or something bizarre like that OMG!
