Social Awkwardness

Being asked out to dinner can be quite irritating, especially when you're trying to count calories and be a sensible eater. You can't really say, "well, I'll come to dinner, but I won't eat". Then when you go, they keep encouraging you: "just have some more", "why are you having that? That's not enough".

When someone offers to take you out for dinner to celebrate an occasion, you can't really say no. So you go, and you're miserable, and you know you're only there because someone else thinks they're doing a nice thing for you. No, in fact, if you want to do a nice thing, DON'T take me out for dinner.
