Title: Bad table manners
Post by: ladycasshmere on February 28, 2015, 04:34:29 pm
If you were out on date with someone and they were doing things such asvchewing food with their mouth wide open. Talking loud on their cell phone during dinner or burping extremely loudly would you say something to them about it or try to ignore it

That is something that I cannot ignore. Bad manners is one thing, but bad table manners is just disgusting. I don't want to see what you're eating while it's in your mouth. I don't want to hear you chomping down on it. And I especially don't want to hear someone try to talk while they are eating loudly. If you burp like on purpose, it's rude and in bad manners. If it just happens that's different, and typically doesn't sound as bad. And if you're on a date, you shouldn't be fiddling with or talking on your phone. If that's what is going on during the date, I would not continue to be a part of it and would leave.

I would say something to that person weather they feel please or not.

I would suffer through dinner and not say anything.  If the person seemed redeemable, I would say something before going out to eat again, however, if they are that bad you have to wonder if they were raised that way or just are rude by nature.  It is mainly disprespectful to my way of thinking.

I would say something or ignore it, it just depends on my mood.

I swear if I hear somebody chewing with their mouth wide open, it drives me insane! I can't stand people who do that.

I would say something, as that is disrespectful and if they did not like and wanted to end the meal; that would be fine with me!

I will ignore him and don't go out anymore.

I would stick it out for that one date.  After that...I'm gone.  There's no future with someone you can't stand to share a meal with.

I can't stand eating with your mouth open.  But if I was on a date and he was on his cell phone, unless it was an emergency, I would get up and leave.  You you are that rude to be talking on the ohone while on a date with me, I can be just as rude and get up and leave.

I was actually on a date with someone, sitting across the table from him, when he was chewing with his mouth open.  It was repulsive, but I tolerated his behavior because he was buying dinner.

Needless to say, I never went out with him again and that was only one reason why I decided.....

he wasn't my cup of tea.   :heart:

Definitely would say something if they were on their food.  I doubt i'd say anything about chewing with their mouth open, its definitely one of my pet peeves I just wouldn't go on a second date with them.

If you like that person enough to redate, I would say something about your likes and dislikes.

Yeah me too that's why I created this topic. Its gross having to see someone's meal in their mouth through a whole dinner. I didn't say anything to the guy. After the date that was it for me. Looking back I was like maybe I should've spoke up to save him future embarrassment. I am always worried about hurting someone's feelings.

That sounds so gross.  I think I would have to get up and leave and never go out on a date with this person again.  Some people just never learn table manners.

    Ignore them because if you tell them they will tell you to mind your  business. That is how some people are...there is nothing you can do to change them!

I assumed, that in every group of people, there are people like that, so I just told myself to get use to them.

Uh well I don't know for sure if I would say anything because if a person doesn't have good manners by the time they are old enough to date I think its too late but it would be my last date with them.  Now if they asked me out again or why I didn't want to go out again I would nicely be honest about it.

Wow that had to be one of your worst dates ever huhn??? I think I would have said something politely or in a jokingly way but I could not have sit thru and ignore it. :)

Depends on how well I knew them.  If it was a first date there definitely won't be a second one.

I would, and I would never go out with him or her again.

I would say it trying to endure it is just painful to watch as bystanders look at you.

First, I hope the person well enough to not have bad table manners.  If they do, then I never eat with them again.  If someone is chewing with their mouths open and talking loud on a phone, I stay away from them.  Bad habits starts at a young age and no home training.

If that was a "date" I'd make sure I never go out with that person again and in the interim, I would leave the restaurant and take a cab home!!!

I can not stand someone talking on their cell phone when out at a resturant. I find that very rude.
Title: Re: Bad table manners
Post by: Shandara09 on March 05, 2015, 01:07:10 pm
I would probably ignore it and then not go on another date with them.

It would depend on how well I knew them but would be really hard not to say something!  That is so disgusting and would be embarrassing to me to sit at the same table with someone with such bad manners.

I think if I was on a date with someone and they did those unsavory things you mention, I would have to decline a second date. I don't know if I would be brave enough to actually say something, but I definitely wouldn't go on a second date! Sadly people don't realise how they look when they are scoffing food down and dropping food everywhere. But it's a delicate and rather personal criticism if you are brave enough to mention it.

I'd try not to look at those moments...tooo gross!  Skip the dinner dates ...

I can understand why someone wouldn't appreciate this type of thing but I would personally ignore it.  Saying something would likely just make the situation worse.
