Bravo for that sousaphone player!
He bounty hunts for Jabba Hut to finance it.
I don't mind ordering for the woman I'm with. In fact, I like it. I was taught it was the gentlemanly way to behave.I actually like it when my husband orders for me. He usually always has it right the first time

I'll never figure out why, however, she has to know what I'm having before she can make up her mind. Apparently, nearly all women want to know what their date is having before they can make up their mind about what they want to order.
On a couple of occasions, I've told the woman what I was having so she'd make her decision. Then I'd place the order as "The lady will have <whatever she said she wanted>. I'll have <something completely different from what I told her>."
I've never done anything in public that made a date more angry, more quickly. Protestations of "Hey, I just changed my mind at the last minute. It's my prerogative, right?" never seemed to help in the slightest.
It's a great test, though. If they flip out over that, they're not someone upon whom I will waste any more time or money.
Speaking as a married man, if I order something my wife likes then she can get a little risky with her order. If she doesn't like what she ordered then I get the honor of trading with her.I don't mind ordering for the woman I'm with. In fact, I like it. I was taught it was the gentlemanly way to behave.

Men or mental cases? Still works I guess.
In a dating context, this translates to me as "I'm in charge. I get the options and you get to cater to my whims."...if I order something my wife likes then she can get a little risky with her order. If she doesn't like what she ordered then I get the honor of trading with her.

Maybe some women feel like on a date this is still an option?
I've had this happen at fast food places where the difference between the most expensive and least expensive thing on the menu is literally pocket change. I've had it happen in top-end steakhouses where they realistically know I'm going to be spending so much money that a $30 difference in the cost of our orders is basically a rounding error when calculating the tip.Maybe they want to know what their date is ordering in order to gauge how much money they can "spend" on their meal.
Of course finding people that are courteous enough to think that way can be rare.
