Filed under: Dining Out
I can handle smaller gatherings (usually 6 people or less), but often get lost in larger groups. This is especially true if everyone sits together at the same table and multiple conversations take place all at once. This situation usually gives me the most problems, since all I ever hear are "did you have enough to eat’ or "what did you order". Any suggestions as to how I might make things a little more interesting?
The best thing to do is order a salmon filet, then when it arrives, promptly whip it off the plate and whack someone upside the face with it. Then shove it down the back of the same person’s shirt and run around the restaurant doing a jig and gargling to the tune of "Oh, Susana."

yes, when dinner is over… stand up and walk away revealing that you have no pants on. That would most likely make things more interesting.LOL

Talk to the people to either side of you, and across from you. You don’t have to have a conversation with people further away from you as it’s rude to talk over or around others. If you want to make things interesting, set your napkin on fire. Ask people about their job, their family, etc.

What did you order? This question is very good for conversation, cause not only can you talk about what you ordered…but what you will NEVER order again and why. Then they can talk about their food story of horrid food. Which will remind you of something totally different but related in some manner or another.

the best way to carry out a conversation while dining out would be to make sure that your with people that you like and appreciate. Everyone loves to talk about themselves to some extent, so ask leading questions that will encourage a detailed response, be attentive with your listening skills, smile with your eyes, probe for specific responses such as "exactly what has lead you into the field of xyz, where are you hoping this will take you over the next few years" If you know some tasteful jokes, get them out there for the laughs, that’s a good ice breaker.
