sirguym -> RE: Does your Dominant/Domme (1/13/2008 10:23:02 AM)

The general, commonsense, rule of good manners as I understand them, in the vanilla world, is that whoever will pay the bill, orders the food, which seems eminently sensible to me. After all, if you're paying the bill, you ought to have the right to eg discourage a guest ordering some outrageously expensive option. Most waiters or waitresses will generally presume that's the man; because it usually is in this wifde world. But if I am eating with a lady and she's paying, whether she's Domme, sub or vanilla, and regardless of the fact that I am Dom, and a man, I will encourage her to 'do the honours', unless she's too tongue-tied or nervous, that's just that way it is. I have played the game of not consulting a sub lady I'm dining with, simply just ordering for her; but I have had it go very badly wrong; you have to know her likes, dislikes, medical conditions, aversions and allergies very well! Incidentally on the subject of table manners, in the spirit of recommending care; I was once sharing a meal with a Chinese girl, on Chinese New Year's Eve, with many other Chinese friends. I picked up some particularly tasty morsel and recommended it. Then went to put it in her plate. She waved it away -and I got my shins kicked-in under the table. Afterwards I asked why and she said, "You do realise that all these people think you have just proposed marriage to me? I knew you didn't mean it, but it was very embarrassing because they think I asked you and I said no!
