- Pay attention to your hands as well. Don’t put them on the table, it’s better to keep them on your lap. Putting your phone on the table means that you’re not interested in conversation.
6. Sitting correctly
Maintain the correct posture and leg position when you are seated, If you are on a low chair, don’t cross your legs, one above the other, Keep the legs parallel and knees touching one another. You could try a royal trick, know as the ‘Cambridge cross’. It is putting one foot behind the other, while you cross the ankles. It will make you feel like the royal crown herself.
7. Being at a restaurant
If you invite your companion to teh restaurant, it should be you who pays for the meals. Going together to teh restaurant means that you pay for your own meals.
It is high time for you to know your cutlery! You could try memorizing them:
1 A napkin (place it on the lap).
2 A salad fork.
3 A fork.
4 A plate.
5 A salad plate.
6 A knife.
7 A teaspoon.
8 A soup spoon.
9 A cup and a saucer (dessert).
10 A glass for white wine.
11 A glass for red wine.
12 A glass for water.
13 A dessert spoon.
14 A dessert fork.
15 A dessert knife.
16 A plate for bread.
This will ensure that you give the right signal to the person waiting for you and so that you can finish your food correctly.
8. Drinking
-
For ladies, make sure your lipstick doesn’t stain the glass you are drinking from. Dry the lips using a napkin or paper tissue before you sip from the glass.
