I once dated a lady that ALWAYS ordered the same thing for any particular restaurant that we frequented.
Yet rather than just ordering, she would spend what seemed liked an eternity looking up and down the menu and asking about damn near everything on the menu.
Finally, she would order the same thing she did the time before, and the time before that, and the time before that, etc.etc.
I never understood why she just didn't order her favorite when she first walked in.
She said it was a woman's prerogative....or something like that.
