Recently, I was
watching a talk show where the host shared a celebrity’s feelings on a podcast
as to why she would never continue to date a man who orders the same food at a
restaurant.
After watching the podcase, the host made an important point which I never gave thought to. She highlighted that a man who loves or desires ordering the same cuisine at a restaurant is someone you can depend on and trust and is dedicated to you.
Some people are creatures of habit, especially when it comes to food. I have a favorite food that I enjoy ordering when doing take-out, but that is just me. If you’re dating a man who always orders the same dish at every restaurant, you might wonder what it really says about him—or your relationship. Is he predictable in a comforting way, or is he just stuck in a rut?
There’s something
to be said for consistency. A guy who sticks to his favorite meal might just
know what he likes and doesn’t like, like wasting time stressing over the menu.
You’ll never have to worry about him stealing bites off your plate, because
he’s perfectly happy with his usual order. In a world full of endless choices,
his decisiveness can be refreshing.
On the other hand,
if he never deviates from his go-to meal, it might hint at a deeper resistance
to change. Does he avoid trying new things in other areas of his life too? If
he’s unwilling to step out of his comfort zone, it could mean he’s less open to
spontaneity—whether in travel, hobbies, or even relationships. A little
adventure keeps things exciting, and if he won’t even switch up his entrée,
will he be up for surprises in other ways?
Then again, maybe
his unwavering order is just a quirk. Some people find comfort in routine,
especially if they’ve had a long day or feel overwhelmed by too many options.
If he’s adventurous in other ways—maybe he’s always down to try a new activity
or explore a new place—then his unchanging restaurant order might not mean
much.
If it bothers you,
suggest sharing dishes next time. That way, he can still have his usual while
you both get to taste something different or pick a restaurant that doesn’t
serve his go-to meal—gently nudging him out of his comfort zone without making
it a big deal.
At the end of the
day, what someone orders at a restaurant are not a make-or-break deal in a
relationship. But if his predictability starts feeling more like rigidity, it’s
worth paying attention to whether that mindset spills over into bigger aspects
of your connection. Either way, it’s just food—unless it’s not.
Would it matter to
you if your date ordered the same cuisine at a restaurant. Let us know, by leaving
