The restaurant already had a chance to make a good impression. Arranging for such a scenario as you describe would basically guarantee that they’d put more care and effort into the preparation of the dish than they normally would (so it wouldn’t reflect their normal preparation).

“1 can”

Of course you should. Also, make sure to send him a fb friend request. 

While one’s religious beliefs may influence one’s behavior and actions (including those toward others), the two are not the same thing.

No, I pointed out that the source article states that he will will be checking in with a doctor - because the OP clearly missed that part.

Uh, ok?

Not quoting that part isn’t being evasive. I was simply responding to your claim that I implied something I did not to clarify that you did, in fact, misinterpret.

Yup. What he’s asking for here is advice on how to be (successfully) evasive with his girlfriend regarding another woman.

Yeah, the wording provided sounds defensive. He could have just said, “Dude - we come here all the time - she’s our regular bartender.”

The proposed “explanation” is cryptic - it purposefully avoids the full explanation. It would be perfectly reasonable (and undramatic) - expected, even - for the girlfriend to be curious about it and respond with “What do you mean? How did he shame her - what did he say?” The only drama would be created by the…

Yup. Its also about his feelings toward his girlfriend, which seem secondary to those toward the bartender.

Seriously.

New? Have you not been paying attention the past few years?

How is her bringing up his attacking John McCain "Fake News"?

In hindsight? It was clear at the time it happened.

...you think that response to the girlfriend won’t result in more questions? Lol.

Dear Salty: What’s the best way to ensure I make this situation even more awkward?

Well that truly sucks :(
