12 Life Skills You Need to Call Yourself a Man
2. Getting a Table in a Restaurant
No one will be impressed that you called ahead to Applebee’s or Chili’s to get a reservation, but if you can land a table the latest hotspot in town you are showing a woman that not only are you not afraid to push for your way, but that you can schmooze a bit as well.
There are two methods for this tip. The first is to be used in case of emergency only. Go to the restaurant in advance of dinner, between the lunch rush and the evening hours. Find an employee with a friendly face and tell a little story. Tell them how you would really appreciate a table at the restaurant this evening because you really want to show that special someone a memorable evening.
Option two requires more time, but also pays better dividends over the long haul. Become a regular at some of the hottest spots in town. Show up well-dressed each time, be outgoing and polite with the staff, and tip generously. On your way out be sure to ask for the manager just to compliment them on the service and quality of the restaurant. If you are feeling so bold, get his business card and hold onto it for future needs.
