Dinner Etiquette

You have an intimate evening dinner planned at a local restaurant; for the sake of argument let’s say it’s an Outback Steakhouse. A feast right in the meaty part of the bell curve as far at Tuesday Night goes; not showing off but not slacking either.

Your date for the night is someone you’ve known been seeing for just under a year. Outside of the time you spend together for recreation there is no other commitment including financially. Also, before meeting for dinner you’ve already confirmed that you would pick up the bill.

After a splendid evening, no awkward silences, spilled drinks or food particles hanging from the teeth the bill comes. As agreed I pay the bill and fill in the tip and total amounts then finally complete it with my John Hancock.

As she always does, your date picks up the already paid for bill and examines the totals.

Am I wrong to believe when one is receiving a free dinner that if you don’t want to at least offer to pick up the tip the above actions are a little distasteful?

In all fairness she pays for dinner about 40% of the time.

Your thoughts.

IMO, it's OK if you're married. Not OK otherwise.

If you have been seeing her for just under a year, I don't think its a big thing. First date might be a little worrying, but umpteenth date... not so much.

Are you just looking for reasons to get out of the relationship?

Sounds to me like she was just checking the total to see if it was worthy of letting you touch her Uvula with your pickle on the drive home.

No. It just annoying after dinner I know it's going to happen and it bugs the heck out of me. I've made a conscience point not to do it in hopes of her picking up the habit with no luck.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I should be annoyed by it or not.

That would irk me a little as well. It's like she's checking to see if you've left the right tip or something.

Next time I'd fill out the tip, signature, etc. and hang on to it. Don't make a big show but just keep it in hand and out of hers and keep scanning for the waiter. If she asks to see it, I'd ask her why.

Maybe she is frugal and is wanting to make sure that they didn't overcharge you, which may just make her a keeper...

Sounds like your annoyed already or you wouldn't have asked about it.

Sounds like she's making sure you didn't get screwed by the rest.
They may have an Automatic gratituty in some places etc.

she obviiously didn't think you looked over the bill with care...

As for you getting tail later, being annoyed could be problem there

No, I wouldn't like that. Not one, little bit.

In this event it is proper to grab the Blooming Onion tray, smash it against her ass 3 times while repeating "NO!" in a stern voice that all can hear.
