1. "I wish the waiter had told me this comes with carrots" (lettuce / mayo / something she doesn't eat) or "Hmm, in the menu it looked more appealing"
When she says she doesn't like the food, I feel as a failure.
In the carrot case, I feel guilty for forgetting to ask the waiter if it comes with something she doesn't like. Funny, I'd feel it was my responsibility to take care of it even if I don't know her food preferences.
In the latter case, I feel guilty she can't enjoy the meal, especially if she refuses to let me order something different or to take my food and give me hers. I know she doesn't want me to pay more, neither deprive me from the thing I ordered for myself, but really I'd gladly make a new order for her or give her my food rather than watching her stoically chewing through the thing she doesn't like or putting it aside almost untouched.
2. "I have to go. I must
Depending on the reason, I'd feel from mad to really frustrated.
Really, planning a date she could free the day / evening entirely.

One thing that I have done inadvertently to kill the mood was to use a complimentary line that one of her exes used frequently. One thing she did in return to kill the mood more was to tell me all about it. It's okay - the mood is back.
I don't know anything that any of you has already said but a belch or a fart would totally kill the mood for me even if they did say excuse me. Now for something she said it would have to be, "I think we should see other people."
It was actually a compliment that ruined the mood for me once.
I was trying to tell him something meaningful, and he interrupted me to say "You have the greatest teeth."
And it's not like I blab all the time. I don't talk a bunch, so when I do, I want to be listened to, by golly. It was obvious then and there that he would never get past the surface. He didn't want to.
