Taking A Girl Out For Dinner

So I was composing a post and was showing the following write up to Mona.

Tips for guys on taking a woman out for dinner

If you take a woman to a restaurant she WILL find some reason to complain about SOMETHING. You are not expected to fix it, but listen and nod as if it’s a major world problem that should be debated in the UN.

The woman will expect you to call the waiter/server for a glass of water or ketchup or extra sauce or whatever. Women’s Lib be damned.

Please refrain from checking email on your Blackberry while you are on the dinner date. Even the excuse “I am checking movie timings for the movie after our dinner” doesn’t work. Women nowadays are smart (somehow).

She will order “something new” because she does not want to order the same thing every time, even though it’s her favourite. Meanwhile, you will order what you always order. This leads to …

She will eat only half of what she ordered, and say she is full. And then she will want to try what YOU ordered, because she know she likes it, and EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD NO INTENTION OF SHARING. Grrr ….

So Mona looks at me with her ‘tsk tsk’ look and says “So that’s how you think guys should keep girls happy. If only you guys KNEW how to keep us happy!”

“Aha!” I got her, or so I thought. “So you KNOW how girls can be kept happy! Why don’t you tell us, so we can actually do it?”

“Why,” Replies the Woman, “should I tell you? You should KNOW!”

Grrr….
