Eh. I'm a fan of the "If he does it, I'll do it" game plan. If there's an entree I really want or an expensive drink, I wait and see what he orders. If he orders something above or around the same price range, then I'll order what I really want. If not, then I use my "backup" entree or drink that's cheaper.
It works, as long as I can get him to order first
I usually use the "I'm not quite ready, but I think HE is" line for that one.
