Is that "he will not eat on a date" or "he will only date a woman who will not eat on a date"?

effectively the same thing, surely?

Wildly different.
If he won't eat then he's effectively taking a woman out to watch her eat, which is creepy. If she can't eat then he's taking her out to eat in front of her while she does not eat, which is a bit controlling and outright scary.

i just assumed that the date was to contain no eating
