    “Everybody knows […]” means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.

    I’d reply with ‘I don’t like people who can’t use capital letters anyway’ since we’re going with unimportant things.

    I feel like this has to be a guy writing this to a woman right? There’s no chance that it’s the other way around.

    If anything that text should’ve been sent in reverse.

    Last night was fun, but it was weird the way you looked at me when I ate food at a restaurant. I don’t wish to continue this.

    Usually after the type of date that has you thinking about the future with the person and how perfect things seem.

    Then you get that.

    Gotta do one of those eye-blinking head shakes and just delete the convo and move on. Ain’t worth it.

    The general thing to do is to peruse the menu to find what you want first to get that out of the way as the wait staff can be pretty quick when you first sit down. If the bread won’t distract you during, go for it. You just really want to get your order in when they come by as it could turn into a while before they come back.

    They were probably taught something like that, but it became so corrupted that the entire reasoning was lost, leaving only an arbitrary wait time.
