Bad Table Manners

I remember vividly when the food came he hovered over his plate and proceeded to shovel food in his mouth like he had been alone in the woods for six months with no food.

While I think he was nice enough, the thought that kept going through my head was can I watch this man eat his food like this for many many years...the answer was no, and there was no second date either.

Lmfao!!! Hahahahaha!! Sounds like he didn’t have any home training. Either that, or he didn’t get enough to eat at times as a kid.

I mean from my recollection, he was a decent looking guy, and seemed to have gainful employment so on paper what seemed to be a decent catch. Yeah honestly, after that date, I carefully assessed any other dates in how the ate.

I mean if it was a case he didn't get enough to eat as a kid, that I can certainly have empathy for. But it just seemed so unexpected in contrast to his presentation on the whole. I just to joke that I was the queen of one date wonders.

A few of our foreign exchange students, all tiny girls, would shovel food into their mouths like there was no tomorrow. I am assuming this was the custom in their countries. All left a couple of sizes bigger.
