You should've told him that I thought you were my date not my dietician. He sounds more than a tad controlling. It is good that you found this out on the first date.


Yes, I already knew that he is a health food (nut) and I can deal with that, it's a good thing, however....the controlling part....yuck!indifferent

my question is a simple one, why didnt you just tell him you are able to make your own choices?
As he's in line trying to dictate what to choose, I would have stopped it there (just by asking, 'Do you mind?'), but that's me flowerforyou
Glad you made him pay :smile:


Yes, I Did! I asked him to quit talking so loudly and to stop following me...(hint hint--but he continued to follow....)

Wow, he did that on the FIRST date?
Well damn, the least he could have done was hide the controlling until date number 2.. lol

Anywho, a buffet means that a person can choose from several dishes without even the restaurant dictating the food pairings.....

If he was that concerned, he should have gone to a natural foods store and cooked dinner for you...

*sigh*
Wow, another nice comment! I totally agree with you, Why did he pick that place? That was the constant thought running through my head all through the dinner...I felt like he set me up! I'm so angry with him. And you know, I noticed that he ate amost nothing!

Last night I met the nicest guy. We went out to dinner. I proceeded to fill my plate at the chinese buffet. He followed me, close at my heels, dictating to me what I should select. At first, I thought it was fun. But then he would say, no, that has too much fat, soy, salt, it's fried, too this too that...My right to choose what I like to eat was being dictated by this overbearing man who must have thought that I was too dim-witted to make my own food choices. I put up with his unwelcome advice all through dinner and then I made him pay for the tip and the dinner. Usually, I offer to pay my portion. Not this time! I was very upset by his remarks at dinner. Was I right?
bigsmile Sounds like the guy is a moronbigsmile

He did you a favor showing his true colors on the first date.

Thank your lucky stars you weren't more involved with the guy and move on. Someone who is that controlling has serious issues.

:smile: honestly, I was fooled by his PHD; however, all book learning and no common sense.frustrated

I'd go out with him again, and when he looked at a waitress give him **** for it, if he didn't open your door for you, give him **** about it, kiss him goodnight, and give him **** about how bad it was and give him pointers on how to do it correctly...

But I'm a b*tch like that.

Sounds like he had some control issues. I always just meet for coffee or a drink on a first meeting(or date). And I've had some pretty bad coffee dates lately, secretly I been wanting to just get up, throw some money down on the table (my half for coffee) and walk out,but no I stay and then never return their calls or e-mails.
