My boyfriend of 3 months is taking me out to eat for my birthday tonight. He is 29 and I am 24. I always feel bad ordering anything except the least expensive item on the menu. However, we are going to a seafood restaurant and I know they are not inexpensive at all!
What are the guidelines for this?? Help!
honestly since its your birthday i would thing in terms of food there really isnt too much. Because i mean it is your birthday and if he really didn’t want to spend much on your birthday he would have probably done something for you at home instead.
Ask what he will be ordering, and pick something of a comparable price.

There are no guidelines, just order what you normally would order when going out.
Happy birthday!!

try to stay under 7$, and dont get seconds unless he asks

but if he truly likes u, he wouldnt care one bit
My trick is to order the same as my date, lol! If he orders the cheapest thing on the menu, so do I…if he orders lobster, what the heck – so do I!
Not sure if there are any guidelines, I guess just be yourself and order what you want. Then offer to split the bill. If he declines the offer then fair do’s.

Try not to eat something more then maybe… 30$? 20$ around there… dont’ worry so much about that, just order w/e
References :
if he is buying and its your birthday then just get something not too expensive but not too cheap and if he gets something really expensive then just get something cheap but if he gets something cheap get something in the middle never get anything too expensive

The only real guideline is not to order one of the highest priced items on the menu. If he chose the restaurant, that means he expects to be able to cover the price of a typical meal on the menu.

Personally if I take a girl out then I want her to enjoy herself and get whatever she wants on the menu without even looking at the price. After 3 months it shouldn’t matter anymore what you eat. Besides, it’s your night tonight. Enjoy it. Happy Birthday!!!

Hell I don’t care how much you order, so long as you are able to finish it. Even if you don’t, it won’t bother me much, especially when it’s your birthday. No ordering the wine for €80 a bottle, though. (:

You don’t have to order the cheapest meal but don’t order the most expensive either. It will be alright. It is your Bday and he wants to treat you so he is not expecting to purchase just a crouton and water for you
Have fun!

100 dollars is the limit

Simple, order the same thing he is, or, order the special of the night. Its a guaranteed savings because usually the special is discounted. You can also ask the waiter what he recommends. He will usually tell you the specials they have for the night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Now, there are no guidelines, especially on your birthday, ESPECIALLY if he wants to take you out and really does care about you! However, it is great that you are showing consideration to his feelings and budget! I usually order an appetizer because they are a lot cheaper and filling! You could also just ask the waiter what is delicious and then choose what sounds the best and looks the cheapest from their list, OR just ask your date if he would like to split something with you! Its cheap, nothing gets waisted and its romantic.

Just order what you want, if he has a problem with that amount then maybes he’s not right for you.

He is taking you out, it’s his choice of restaurant, so he has an idea how much this is going to cost him. You shouldn’t concern yourself about the prices unless you want to pick something which is obviously extremely expensive compared to the other selections. If you still feel insecure, you can ask him to suggest something to you claiming that you don’t know much about sea-food. Unless your boyfriend is really stingy, something you should know by now, I wouldn’t worry at all.

reach over and ask to see how much he has in his wallet. Pull them all out and count them before you order for about 80% of what you count will do. Or tell him to stay behind to wash the dishes and pans later on. Don’t forget to call on bf no. 2 to standby and pick you up after you run out from the restaurant.

i agree with someone elses answer. ask wat he’s getting and get something around the same price.
answer this?
