You continue eating. The faster eater waits.

I'm a fast eater. But I've been blind sided by "partial eaters". Men who only eat part of their meal. One memorable time ... I asked "is your food OK? Did you enjoy this?" (I was treating). He responded: "Oh yes. I'm done. Mama always said I eat like a bird!"

And you know what? He was, indeed, done.

But let's face it, the longer you live alone, the less likely you are to remember everything about group table manners ... it takes practice.

I can tolerate almost anything except eating with mouth open ... smacking food while eating ... being rude to wait staff. Those are deal breakers.

Well ... don't comment on what Mama says. I'm sure she's a fine lady ... but I don't want to think about her serving you food and patting you on the belly while you are trying to kiss me.

Mind bleach!
You are definitely the type of date (ungracious) that a guy would excuse himself to go to the mens room and just leave you sitting at the table and not return! If he was a gentleman he would also pay the check before leaving or not.

It's a well-known fact that you can tell what a guy is like in bed by watching the way he eat

You're definitely one of the rudest posters I've come across. Have a great day.

Your posts always arouse me when I read them in Judi Dench's voice.

Harvery, I don't really know what you're getting at here, but if he was a gentleman, he wouldn't abandon a date in a restaurant....
