You need to be 18 to post here.
Evan Reyes
Just order a filet minion, ask for it to be cooked well-done
Don't spread any of the ketchup on top, just dip each piece in it as you cut it
Go on youtube and look up table etiquette if you really need to
Jacob Long
I'm 20. My parents just never go to the restaurant because they cook at home. I have never even been to McDonalds as well.
Ian Hall
You've never been to ANY restaurant in your life? Or just not a nice steakhouse?
In the former case you might actually be in trouble.
Ryan Campbell
>what should i expect from the restaurant? a nice meal
>what should i be doing eat your food like a normal person. get a porterhouse, medium rare.
Lucas Harris
Go to a restaurant this week before you meet him. Take a friend and do the entire menu-ordering ritual.
Juan Hernandez
Can you give us a little more of your background? I'm genuinely fascinated how that could happen to a person, regardless of country. Your friends never wanted to go anywhere either?
Evan James
Yes, I have never been to ANY restaurant in my life. My parents are strictly against spending money in a restaurants and they cook every meal at home. I'm from Nebraska, lots of people like that here.
Jeremiah Collins
see
Nicholas Green
I guess...
Have you ever eaten a steak before?
Jose Peterson
Yes i ate venison, my father loves to hunt and my mother is a great cook.
Sebastian Sanders
Go to a really casual place. Do you have something like an Applebee's or a Red Lobster nearby? The food will be pretty mediocre but you'll learn all the skills you need without worrying about sperging out in a fancy restaurant.
Adrian Bailey
jfc fucking flyovers
>muh self relyunts
Henry Thompson
So what's the problem? As long as you dont have any terrible eating habits that you're not telling us, nothing out of the ordinary will happen to you.

Kayden Bennett
No way this is true, but in the extremely unlikely event it is, why can't you just go to a restaurant tomorrow and order a meal?
Read menu, eat, pay. Super hard.

Thomas Collins
>he doesn't know that Maine is full of rednecks What's it like being so fucking wrong all the time?
Xavier Wilson
Nigger you realize that one can cook and also eat restaurant food? It's not some insane binary
Juan Evans
Is op Amish ?
Brandon Hill
Why equate going to a restaurant ever with being dependent on others, Cleitus you hick fuck? The housing hymn stands.
Sebastian Rivera
Oh please, you know nothing of rednecks. You merely saw them while driving through a shitty town. I was born with them. Molded by them. I didn't know crawdads were actually called crayfish until I was already a man.
Aaron Lee
hotdish*
Jacob Bailey
You can't make fun of self reliance just because some guy has never been to a restaurant. Self reliance is a virtue.
Brody Moore
We don't take handouts and we don't use the N word either.
Xavier Sullivan
Read the reply chain, Cleitus. I'm making fun of the retard equating going to a restaurant, ever, with being dependant on others as if it's binary.
Thomas James
No i am not Amish but we do live on a farm and we have land we work on.
Landon Brooks
I'm just making fun of his elitist fly-into ass for insulting the self reliance of people who aren't sheltered tools
Alexander Lewis
He's insulting the autistic fixation on self-reliance that results in a family being so dour that OP has never been to a restaurant. THAT is being sheltered.
Connor Ortiz
I'm going to sleep. Don't keep refreshing
Kevin Brooks
You lost this debate so now you're fucking off like a good little mongrel with your tail between your legs.

Why do people love to go to restaurants on first meeting/date? Why not go to a bar or something? Food is a distraction when you're having a conversation. Plus it's much more difficult to leave in the middle of a meal if it isn't going well. Sitting face to face in a restaurant can also put people into "interview" mode and and it can make things awkward.
Better to find a quiet bar, have a few drinks, and see how it goes.
Asher Gray
Not him but >debate Lol
Caleb Stewart
>Nebraska Oh that explains it. When I went through Nebraska on the obligatory early life road trip I was really weirded out by it. Everybody talks slow as fuck and they can't understand you when you talk at a normal speed. All the cars are American luxo barges. Like I'm pretty sure there isn't a single Saab dealer in the whole state. The tap water smells terrible and tastes even worse. All the food and I mean all of it is horrid. Just corn, overcooked green beans, powdered mashed potatoes, and third-rate meat, oversalted and coated in a suspicious brown "sauce" of some kind. Yep, pretty much my facial expression at the time except I was maybe 10 so minus the beard.

Nathan Carter
You admitting to resembling that image sums up your post pretty well
Dylan Sanchez
Look up the resturant online. Most "fancy" places these days are perfectly fine with casual clothing. And if your biodad's taking you to a place that actually requires fancy dress for your first meeting, he's weirder than you'll ever be.
Ignore this asshole and just get your steak done however you have it at home. Again, if the man judges you for how you eat your steak, you're better off without him.
Bring some cash. About fifty bucks. That way you can cover your meal if biodad doesn't offer to. Don't ask him to, but if he offers take him up on it. Don't offer to cover his, even if you have the money. Unless he's a senior citizen he shouldn't be relying on his kid to pick up the bill.
Tip 10% of the after-tax total for your meal, if you end up paying,
Jackson King
Ask for it to be cooked medium rare or medium OP
Ryan Johnson
so he can sperg out when his meat comes in raw?
Evan Watson
>Tip 10% of the after-tax total for your meal, This is pretty damn good bait! Nicely wrapped. I appreciate the effort user. This is how we did it in the old days.
Brandon Thompson

>when i went through nebraska so you had one meal there at some shitty family restaurant off the highway and now you condemn the whole state? also judging by the early in life thing i imagine you were on a tight budget and probably bough t a $10 chuck steak and were pissed when it didnt taste like ribeye
Jack Wilson
>nebraska >bitching that someone ridiculed a specific experience there
Do you realize no one, and I mean no one, ever even thinks about Nebraska other than lumping them in with a number of other red states with populations so mouthdroppingly ignorant they believe themselves meaningful.
Jose Rivera
>All the cars are American luxo barges. Like I'm pretty sure there isn't a single Saab dealer in the whole state. this post is bait
Aaron Morales
I would say just be super up front about it, literally one of the first things you should say to him after you sit down is "I've never actually been to a restaurant before" This will open up the conversation channels (because it's a really interesting thing) and it lets him help you through mistakes you make, and it allows you to ask dumbass questions that should be obvious to anyone that's been to a restaraunt.
David Wilson
Better a flyover state than a flyinto state
Ryan Morris
notice how nebraska (the state in question) is actually one of the lowest?
lol u fukin idiot
Josiah Roberts
Now I know youre bullshitting. I find it hard to believe a person has not eaten at a fast food restaurant at least once in their life.
Jeremiah James
not him but if it wasn't for my parents I probably wouldn't've eaten at a restaurant until probably age 22 or so.
Dominic Davis
did your uncle also make a house out of doors?
James Gonzalez
I actually had a real cunt of a teacher who was a health food Nazi whose son supposedly never had fast food ever.
