I'm still trying to figure out how someone's order at a restaurant determines whether they're going to be a gold-digger later on in the relationship. lol.

I guess the operative sports cliche would be "Ball don't lie" - why say anything at all, when all the context clues are already right there? Prompting somebody to get a fucking lobster is way more gauche than actually ordering the lobster.

Exactly! I think it'd be awkward as hell for someone to prompt me to order. Again, don't take me to an expensive restaurant if you don't want me to order an expensive dish.

I'm glad some of us agree on this. I would love to take you all out on a platonic (DUH) dinner. When I say "take you all out," I really mean that you are all paying for your own food. Order whatever you want from the menu, though.

Actually, right now AlphaFrog needs to remember to actually leave room for the coffee in my Pumpkin Schnapps lattes or tonight could get rather interesting. LOL

I want a Pumpkin Schnapps latte. Does it include liquor?
Most importantly, who is paying for it?!

Oh, you do? Bless your heart!
Do we discuss if you're supposed to literally start moving your stuff in...they offered after all! I'm sure they won't mind if you borrow their toothbrush and leave the seat up, either.
