The Modern Gentleman Pt. 2 – The Dinner

Published on

Almost every date involves taking a woman out to eat. It is not only fun, but offers a perfect opportunity to show your date your manners and character. Below are a few of the do’s and don’ts of dinner dates. If you do the do’s, you’re guaranteed to impress your date and score a second one with her. If you do the don’ts, she won’t be returning your calls.

Do’s

Open the door for your date and pull out her chair for her.

Place your napkin on your lap.

Break off a chunk of bread to butter it instead of buttering one huge slice.

Come prepared with interesting conversation topics to discuss.

Say thank you to the waiter each time he or she brings you an item.

Pre-bus the table to make the waiter’s job easier. (This shows you respect those in the service industry.)

Pay for the whole bill, and make it obvious you are going to do so to avoid an awkward conversation.

Leave a generous tip. A tip speaks volumes about your character.

Don’ts

Wear a ball cap during the dinner. You shouldn’t be wearing one at all, but if you are, take it off when you enter the restaurant.

Chew with your mouth open.

Make the waiter’s job difficult with anal orders and requests.

Obviously check out other women.
