Women, where do you want to eat?

[Pike]

I've reached a point where thanks to my IBS and assorted digestive issues it's REALLY narrowed down where I can eat so I rarely have to deal with this problem anymore.

Granted, it also means I can only eat out at like two or three places total, so it's a double-edged sword.

[Shorty]

I am terrible at this. I always want to accommodate the other person as I am usually up for anything. Don't make me the decision-maker! My choice will be judged on the quality of the restaurant and meal!

[Jess]

We usually decide what type of food we want first to narrow down the options!

I don't usually mind, just not a seafood restaurant (that serves nothing other than seafood!) because once I got really sick from seafood and now can't face eating it. I don't eat steak, either, but pretty much all steak places serve a few alternatives that I like.

I won't lie though, I have definitely been guilty of "NO DONT MAKE ME CHOOSE.... Nah, I don't want to go there!"

[Pumpkin]

I don't do the "you choose... no not there" but I do accidentally do this:

Me: You choose
Him: Okay how about [insert restaurant]
Me: Okay
Him: ... You don't look like you want to go there
Me: No, it's fine, we should go there
Him: ... Are you sure? I feel like you don't really like it
Me: No, I like it okay

I don't do it on purpose, I'm just really bad at hiding my feelings

[Aulayna]

In a group setting it's always a massive pain in the rear. When I lived in London it was never really an issue, as somehow I was friends with people who all had similar tastes and were generally just more interested in enjoying food in good company, than what the food itself was.

Now in Ireland, trying to arrange going out for a meal - for like a birthday or something - is just a massive chore. There's always someone that doesn't like X restaurant for some really petty reason, or doesn't like Y food or will only come if we go to Z restaurant. As a result we usually end up going to the same place every time, even though in casual conversation most of the people involved say they don't really like the place. The mind boggles.

Now I just limit the invitations to people I know aren't fussy, and if anyone else wants to come then they can feel free too. If not they can sort themselves out and link up with us later on.

If I'm on my own I'm not indecisive at all, I get agoraphobic sometimes and I also hate queues - so whichever place is currently the least occupied tends to get my custom.

I DON'T KNOW I JUST KNOW I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.

[Raistlin]

It's not that I'm indecisive, it's that I seriously don't care where we eat. Pick anywhere and it's going to be okay. If I see you're not picking something I'll usually narrow it down to two or three choices and then hope you can pick from them. If you still can't I'll pick something and be like you had a chance...

This is what I generally do. I am virtually incapable of caring about such things, and can find something pretty much anywhere that I will be fine with. And I can eat the same thing for lunch every day, so no, I don't care if we just had Chinese yesterday.

[Madame Adequate]

So what you're saying is you two are women.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I generally honestly don't care where I eat when my friends want to go out. There are some specific types of food I don't like, but if I'm with a large group of people I just go along for the ride and don't say anything. With my parents or if I'm with like 1 other friend, I'll usually just say "I don't care, just not seafood" or something like that. My dad usually gets mad at this and says that obviously I do care where I eat and have something specific in mind.

I've not had a girlfriend in 5 or 6 years, but it was never a problem then. Usually it was just one of us saying "Hey, let's go to Chipotle!" or some other restaurant, and that was that.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I solve this problem by being single and cooking for myself.

Occasionally I choose Taco Bell. Taco Bell is never the wrong choice.

[Colonel Angus]

Other Person: What do you want to eat?

Me: IDK, what do you want to eat?

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

[Dat Matt]

I can never decide what I want to eat. Matt likes to say that he chooses where we eat every time, but really, if he suggests somewhere and I don't fancy it, we don't go there. xD I vaguely make the decisions!

She falls into the "No, not that place. Or the next few suggestions." catagory.

I'll suggest a couple of places, and it's either hit with a No, or a "Yeah sure". I always suggest things though, I don't think she's ever suggested anywhere to eat in her life.

Oh I'm good at this. I just say "we're going there, unless anyone's got a better idea". And then I'll drag everyone there even if they say no if they don't have a better idea.
