Ever wonder how your dinner dates look to an outsider?

Wonder no more.

Here, a waiter offers a spectator's view of a series of dinner dates. I figure servers acquire a pretty strong ability to measure a date's success.

Confession: I have an embarrassing history of not only starting fights in restaurants, but also crying in restaurants.

But at least I always try to pull myself together when the server comes to our table. I guess I'm not that sly when I insist everything tastes great -- while mascara runs down my cheeks.

Dessert, anyone?
