We had gone out a couple times. Chad was great. He checked all of the boxes. Chad was kind, tall, handsome. Chad even took care of his mother with cancer.
So I did not give it a second thought when Chad invited me to dinner with his friends, It was a close friends birthday and we were going to double date. I was really looking forward to meeting his friends, We were going to a restaurant I had been to before and really liked. The day before the dinner, Chad called. He asked if I had been there, and when I said "yes" he asked what I liked from there, I told him I loved their chicken and I would likely order that tomorrow. The conversation got a little uncomfortable when Chad responded with "tomorrow we will order the blah blah blah." I was takin back by the fact that it sounded like he was attempting to order for me, but I let it slide thinking I was clearly missing something.
We were all dressed up and headed to dinner. I was feeling great. Prior to arriving to dinner Chad asked again, what I was going to order. I reiterated the fact that I was going to order the chicken. Chad reiterated the fact that he wanted us to order whatever it was that he wanted us to order. I began to assume that was because of some special or something so I asked for clarification. My question was met with a strange grin.
Fast forward to dinner. We are all at the table, chatting, having a great time, when the waitress came to take our order. I was first so I order the chicken, as I said I would. No sooner did I begin ordering, Chad spoke up and said "she will have the blah blah blah" I was mortified. Not truly sure what was happening at this point because I had actually never experienced someone so controlling. The waitress would not even make eye contact with me after that. I could not believe what was happening, I was boiling. However it was this poor girls birthday and I did not want to make a scene. I chose to keep my mouth shut. We finish dinner and walk to the car.
Chad proceeds to tell me as we walk to the car, how I was rude to his friends.......
I laughed hysterically, got in my car and left.
He proceeded to call in the days that followed and attempted to apologize, stating "I should have let you order what you want"
I laughed hysterically again.
I wished the control freak luck and went on my way!
