so whatta u say? any goodhearted, raw foodist, free spirited lady willing to be my dinner date? because i think im gonna need all the help i can get. lol

I would just bring my own food and not mention being a raw foodist or benefits of doing so.
Yes, definately bring some raw dishes as Superfood2 mentioned! My suggestion- don't make it anything "unusual." Just a salad, or definately a veggie tray (or fruit salad even). Most others will eat it (just not be only eating from it like you probably will be).
IF you do not follow 100% raw diet- this would be the time to eat some cooked food. Some of us are high raw and not following 100%. Of course, if it's important to you to eat only raw- then continue to do so at the get together.
