I recently went out to eat with the guy I’m dating at a small restaurant that I’d never been too. Whenever we go out to eat if we’re sharing he will order for both of us just because he’s more talkative. This day was one of those times but it was basically all food I chose. I just nodded and said thanks while he ordered. We get our food and my date asked our waitress for some soy sauce and when she came back she only directed herself at me and only glanced at him even though I didn’t ask for the soy sauce.

While I noticed I didn’t say anything until he leaned over and was like “don’t you think it’s weird she only directed herself to you?” Right away I explained saying “it’s possibly because you ordered and I didn’t say anything other than thanks and nodding. She might’ve thought you weren’t letting me pick what to eat and made a girl power move to let me know she had my back if needed.” Needless to say he was surprised and was like “but I wasn’t doing that” (not upset just a little shocked) and I explained that he wasn’t but the waitress didn’t know that and that’s just a way to let other women know we see what’s happening and that it’s not too uncommon for stuff like that to happen. Sometimes the situation just gets misread. As the night went on it seemed like she saw everything was fine but man I appreciated her so much!
