[quote=Anonymous]I always doggy bag my leftovers. I am really not interested in the leftovers of what someone else has ordered.    You can order less, you can get doggy bags or you can give it to a homeless person. I am cool with all three options. It is shameful to waste food.

I am quite comfortable in asking about the portion sizes in a restaurant before I order a meal. It is a good trait to be mindful about food waste in all situations - date, business meeting, casual dining with friends and family.

Finally, I know I will get flak from people for this but I always went dutch on dates. I felt more in control when I paid for my own meal. The only guy I allowed to pay for me was my now DH.

I think it is a huge privilege a woman bestows on a man when she allows him to pay for her, but then the woman also has to respect herself enough to think like that.  When my DD started to date in college,  we gave her a credit card and a car.  She did not need a date to pay for her dinner or provide transportation to her. [/quote]
