STRICT table manners aren't a dealbreaker for me, but basic manners definitely are. For example, every time I have more than one fork next to my plate, I need to ask my fiancee which one I'm supposed to use. However, I eat with my mouth closed, small bites when possible, and try not to talk with any food in my mouth. Her brothers are the exact opposite of me and her parents always say that their table manners alone will keep them single forever. As soon as the food hits the table they are all over it. After about 3 minutes and 24 seconds it looks like the entire kitchen table had been bombed and the debris is scattered everywhere.
The only rude thing I do at the table is taking wayyy too long to eat. Usually 30 minutes at least.
Long story short, last week was asked out on a date by this guy from a different campus. I'm currently a sophomore in psychology major while he's studying business administration.
Anyways the date went good and we were at Red Lobster restaurant; no splitting bill and he did not demand either. The bad part is his table manners. He kept eating too fast as if he was starving, burped twice and some sauce kept coming out of his mouth. In addition, he was eating with his mouth open.
I received a message from him a couple days later asking if I had fun and if we can meet up again some other time.
Girls and guys would this turn you off? I really like this guy and at least we can hold up a smart conversation, like reading but his table manners seriously suck. Or should I just overlook this?
Consider that this was on his first date with you. He must not even realize he does this. It's almost autistic behavior.
Just text him that he has table manners that would offend a pig and you are done with him.
Nobody over the age of 10 or not disabled should be having this problem.
His mother didn't teach him how to eat properly, what else did she lack in teaching him? Guess you'll find out....
also depends on the person's cultural background, not all cultures are offended by talking while eating, burping, etc
different ethnic groups have different dining etiquette
