Sure its ok, take it from a restaurant waiter, some of my regular customers were senior citizens and I was glad to see them there. Just enjoy your meal, dont feel out of place.

it all depends on what kind of kiss it was and to whom it was too. And on how much you can trust your partner. And what kind of relationship you and your partner are in.  There's always 3 sides to the story, YOURS, MINE, and the TRUTH. You can read the menu but you eat at home.SO that means there will be  no ordering not even an appetizers.

Go places where single people hang out.

Wear panties.... and put a lock on them.\n\nSeriously, walk with great posture.  Have manners in public.  Know which fork you are to use with each dish.  Enjoy your evening.  Don't forget to get paid.

It is perfectly acceptable to ask your sponsor about any unique customs.  In general, good table manners, respectful conversation and dress are appropriate.  The specifics largely depend on the type of dinner you will attend.  If it is a small, private affair, then one acts as one might at any dinner party.  If it is a public feast then there may be additional considerations according to the traditions of the institution.\n\nI recommend reading De Brett's Guide to Modern Etiquette for a detailed discussion of dinner-related manners.  It is the de facto standard for British gentlemen.

Yes, there should be, otherwise there may not be a table available when you get to the resturaunt, and you have to stand around with your date and actualy talk... While you wait the 2 hours for a table.\n\nReservation recommended. Walkins laughed at.

I think it's a great idea if you know how to cook and a bad one if you don't.  Don't make a huge meal, a simple gourmet meal is the best.  Get a bottle of wine as well, but drink it in moderation.  This is, after all, a FIRST date.  Good luck!\n\nEDIT:  I find it hilarious that people did NOT read your question thoroughly!  I keep seeing SHE this, SHE that.\n\nAgain, good luck with the date!

strip joints are for lonely single people unless they go with their wives or girl friends ,and then the woman should have the right to also see male strippers ,why not ,or if it is a female stag party .

If someone asks if they can try your food, say, "You know, it's so good that I think I'm going to eat it all myself.  I can call the waiter over and get a second one for you if you'd like." \n\nIf they take food right off your plate without asking, give them the food and say, "Go ahead, have this one.  I'll order another one for myself."  When the bill comes, you each pay for one order.  \n\nThere's no reason you should to eat germy food that other people have been sticking their forks into.

To some people, lunch is just that. Lunch.\n\nIt's not a promise of anything more, it's just something that friends do.  Women enjoy talking, and they like having some company.  Just because someone's in a relationship doesn't stop them doing that.\n\nAs a male I would go to lunch with anyone I want to spend time with - male or female, married or single - with no question of anything more than that.  It wouldn't be a 'date', just less boring than eating on my own.

don't worry mixed and gay marriages are more acceptable these day. mind you may still get some small minded dogs and cats who will refuse to come.\nthe menu is tough. i would  serve water and milk for those who are not lactose intolerent.ooooh i know tofu. that way they both can eat it but of course again consider the guests and serve bones and fish.\nalos please remember to sit your guests on different sides as you may have a slight problem on your hands. just ask when they ocme in friend of the dog or cat?that should keep everybody safe. now you have fun and try not to cry too much.

as long as he's just looking at the menu and not ordering, i think you'll be okay.  if it's really bothering you, tell him.  if he cares about you he'll keep those kinds of comments to himself.  however, whether he tells you or not, all guys look at other women, just as all girls look at other guys, that's just life.

Okay, as a woman myself, this is my opinion: I can understand and agree with your not wanting her to go to dinner with other guys. I wouldn't want my man going to dinner with other women! But some people think that there isn't anything wrong with it as long as they are just friends. She might not have meant any harm by it. Just talk with her, let her know how much it bothers you (but don't make it sound like you are accusing her of cheating) and ask if you two can come to a "neither one of us is ever alone with a member of the opposite sex" agreement. My parents had that agreement, and it worked great. Just a thought. If she is unwilling to agree to that, then it might be time to move on. Good luck.

Check with your particular state, but I know of no law that even says you have to allow children in your restaurant, much less provide boosters and high chairs for them.\n\nHowever, if you are planning on attracting families, or even couples under 45, you'll do well to have plenty of boosters and high chairs available. Children's needs and wants greatly effect the buying decisions of their parents.\n\nIf you don't make your restaurant "familay friendly", you'll effectively lose half your potential market before you start.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\n(316) 361-0675\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

Are you serious?!\n\nWe consider it unclean to have food in the bathroom.  I would never eat in the bathroom. \n\nI consider food somewhat "sacred."  I offer it to God, and I feel that it must be fresh and clean to offer Him.  I would not think of eating in the bathroom!\n\nBut if this is your custom, and you feel it is beneficial, then ok.  YOu'll just have to bring your own salad!  ;-)\n\nWhere are you from that this is the custom?\n\n\nEDIT:  Hey, there was this Seinfeld episode where Kramer installed one of those sink disposer things in his shower, and then he made salad while he took a shower!  That was hilarious!
