All right, an older businesswoman and I were on a casual lunch and we were eating at an establishment I am quite familiar with. I made a suggestion of one of the specialties then after explaining it, she expressed interest in trying it then. I asked her if she wanted it then, and she said yes. So, when the waiter came around, I said her order along with mine. She then commented afterwards that a lot of men won't do that kind of thing anymore, regretting it. I have always seen this as one of the things a gentleman would do. So, I have a few questions.
Ladies, how do you feel about a man ordering for your table if he knows your order? Why?
Gentlemen, would you (or do you) do this? Why or why not?
And both, what is your general opinion on ordering for your date? Where does it stem from and what would you do in this situation?
This is a cross question, I wanted to see how the Dating people would answer, and the Etiquette ones. I do not believe that posting this twice is "excessive."
