L.O.L it seem's most of you are worried about the spelling then the question. Excuse me for my spelling error, I quickly typed it and didn't double checked till now. '
I believe its important to respect others for Manners unfortunatly the person who is taking me out and the same person who I expressed eating habits dosent care. I cant even look at him eating. To him im discriminating him for not tolerating his eating habit and apperciating his company as far as not eating with him goes.
So Em I discriminating him for his eating habit and beling picky or is he being inconsiderate towards my presence?

manners are important so we dont all offend and gross each other out. when people "dont care" how they whatever in front of others it makes me think they arent considerate.

You are not being picky about your date's table manners. But some people have never been taught table manners and they simply do not KNOW what to do.
Don't ask me how many times I heard from parents, "What? Were you raised in a BARN? You eat like an ANIMAL!" (Not MY parents, of course. My parents only had to give us "The Look" and we knew not to push any more!)
Ask your date if he even knows how to eat "properly" ... but don't ask him at the restaurant. Ask him privately so as not to embarass him. You will know what to do next by how he reacts... negatively, you might need to find a new date... positively, take it as an invitation to teach him ... politely, of course.
Have a polite day!

is it that imporatant to have manors ?
Some elitely born English citizens seem to think so --
it is a sign of one's station !!
Manners on the other hand is something that even the lowly born should cultivate because THIS is a sign that you give a damn about the way you accommodate others in your thoughts and actions !!

Yes we should all have manor homes - it proves to the world that we have "made it"
Eating with good manners is a sign of good breeding and very important if you live in a Manor

Yes it is important to have good manners, it determines man from beast, and it shows, as children we were raised in a proper environment which means, good old home training.

its far more important than learning how to spell - or about the same....;)
Well - it can be very uncomfortable to have to watch a person eat who is, say, sloppy or chews with their mouth open or....any number of things.
If it bothers you enough...you might want to not see him any more.
Yes, it's ok that it bothers you. It would bother me, especially if we were eating out in public.

Yes, it is very important to have manners. Tell him gently how to eat properly so that he doesn't embarrass himself in the future.

Yes, good manners are important. Say something to him as to how it bothers you. If he doesn't change, find yourself a new guy

If he is the Laird of the Manor he probably doesn't (please note spelling!) need to worry how he carries on in front of the peasants!
