Ok, so a first date was agreed upon and there was enough chemistry for a second. It's a little more comfortable and you and he are hitting it off. Third date, the kiss.....WOW. He knows his way around romance, so far. Somewhere along the courtship comes my spaghetti test. If a man cannot pass it then it is a deal breaker. You spent the time for a romantic red wine, fine crafted bread and home-made sauce night-in and all it takes is a head hung over a plate with noodles sticking from his mouth.......Argh! As he bites the noodles back into the plate he severs any chance for the candle lit dessert. Anyone else have such a ritual? Would love to know.

Someone would break up with someone for how they eat their spagetti? Oh, my!


If they didn't use a utensil at all, I would understand but I think just because he bites his noodles back into his plate! Just don't do Italian anymore......

I'm kinda confuzzled...why would he have his head hanging over a plate! Am I missing something here or is he licking the plate...why would noodles be hanging from his mouth. Please I'm not trying to goof you... I'd think the noodles would either be inside his mouth or down his gullet.


Holy Mamma Mia! Women have funny tests...can't ya'll just write down a booklet and let us memorize it? I mean hey I use both my hands for pasta. And my feet for good pasta! Hey Welder put down that torch, it's jes a joke... Ladies what does bite his noodles back onto his plate mean? {checking woman's translation booklet...}

The "Spaghetti Test." Just when I thought I'd heard/seen it all.


OK, is there actually a galaxy in the universe that has SANE RATIONAL women? No? NO! OK, that's it, I quit, I'm outta here, moving to Antarctica to chill with the penguins.

I think you should try people from England. They also might keep their elbows off the table and use napkins. The American Continent is still Wild West.


Maybe you should open a thread on how toensure tostay single.

Well, I am a woman and I like men with good table manners as well as the next gal. But, I wouldn't rule a guy out completely for "biting his noodles back on his plate." Some guys are a little rough around the edges, consider it something that could be improved upon with some tactful, kind, constructive criticism at a later date--that is, if there is nothing else that 86's the deal. Maybe just don't do noodles with him anymore.


It seems unfair to judgea guywho may have just never been taught how best to eat spaghetti or perhaps.. a guy who was nervous. When I get nervous on a date, sometimes I am not at my best, either. So, give the poor guy a break, okay. Unless he was making all kinds of loud noises, splattering sauce all over his clothes and making an absolute mess, you should consider him a work in progress. We are all works in progress.

Wow...If he's got enough potential in other areas,then why not take the guy in hand and help him learn to use a spoon with his forkto roll up his noodles in a neat package so they make it to his mouth in a reasonable fashion.Could be a sexy,humorous activity to share.The guy probably has NO IDEA how to properly eat pasta.And....do you TELL him when you drop him?"I can't stand the way you eat spaghetti"?Just....Wow....I've gotta say,I've got more on my mind when I'm getting to know someone.....but,anyways....keep chatting...I've got lots to learn!!!! : D
