[00:00.77]Passage 54. Dining Etiquette When Dating

[00:06.68]Be sure to make reservations if the restaurant you chose is a fancy or popular one.

[00:12.26]It’s very embarrassing to show up without reservations and having to wait for a table,

[00:17.61]leaving very bad impression on your date.

[00:21.00]Also, be sure to check to see if they have a dress code

[00:25.28]and tell your date in advance what to wear.

[00:28.12]When your food arrives, proper dinning etiquette requires you to eat at a moderate pace

[00:34.90]so that you have time to talk.

[00:36.76]A good measure of how fast you should eat is to count 10 seconds between each mouthful

[00:42.78]and it’s a bad dining etiquette if you gobble down your food

[00:46.72]and you spend the rest of the time watching your date eat.

[00:50.33]Don’t slurp your soup, smack your lips, or chew with your mouth open.

[00:55.81]Nothing is more unsightly than watching someone talk and chew their food at the same time.

[01:01.60]Your napkin should be placed on your lap at all times.

[01:05.10]Don’t tuck it into your belt or use it as a bib.

[01:08.82]If you have to get up, place it neatly on your seat.

[01:12.87]When eating, insert your fork straight in your mouth.

[01:17.47]Don’t place your fork in the side of your mouth

[01:20.31]as it increases the chances of food sliding away, which could be very embarrassing.

[01:25.67]If you get food stuck in your mouth

[01:27.86]don’t pick it out with your fingers or fork at the table.

[01:31.14]Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get it out with a toothpick.

[01:35.73]When dinning, keep your eyes on your date at all times

[01:39.90]and try to smile between mouthfuls.

[01:42.30]Occasionally,you should make an effort to show some interest

[01:46.68]and ask questions like,“How do you like the beef?”

[01:50.07]If she needs anything, you are the one who is supposed to flag down the waiter

[01:54.66]by a gentle wave of the hand until someone notices you. 晨读英语美文100篇 美文英语 英语美文50篇 英语美文小短文 晨读英语 晨读美文 英语美文摘抄小短文 英语美文200字 英语励志短文
