Should I say soething to my boyfriend about his table manners?
My boyfriend is a gorgeous guy who is well mannered (yes sir no sir yes ma'am, no ma'am to all adults) He is athletic and really smart (straight A's in school)but for some reason he always wears his paper napkin tucked in the collar of his shirt when he eats and I don't think that is what most 16 year olds do when they eat. I have not done that since I was 10 years old. Should I say something to him about it. My mom thinks it is cute and told me not to say anything because it would probably embarrass him. I have seen his younger brother (14) do the same thing at dinner one night so I guess maybe his parents require this. What should I do?

You shouldn't do anything! Least it's not something bad that he is doing - least it's just helping to keep his clothes clean. If it really bugs you that much, maybe just hint slightly that he doesn't need to do it because maybe he feels as if he has too around everybody - not just his family.

I dont think you should say something at all but maybe do the same thing. It keeps clothes clean and there is nothing wrong with this. I need to be doing this I drop something on my shirt everytime I try and eat something.

This habit may not be something you see very often but as an adult I have seen it many times mostly during the lunch hour. It is a great way to keep ones shirt and tie clean while having lunch. It is very embarrassing to return from lunch with a stained shirt.
I suspect you bfs mother has trained her children to do this to cut down on the food stains on their clothing. Thus cutting down on her laundry work. Unless you are dining in a fine restaurant I would say nothing. This custom is more popular than you may think and it is really not out of place in a fine dining atmosphere, just something you don't see as often as during the lunch hour.
So unless you are in a fine dining restaurant I would say nothing to your boyfriend.

I wouldn't say anything. Let's face it, finding a guy with manners like that is hard! Embrace it :)

Honestly it isn't that uncommon. I suspect your boyfriend has old fashioned values (which personally I adore also) Regretably it is hard to come by a guy who is polite and takes care of his appearence (by making sure he doesn't drop dinner down his shirt with the use of a napkin, it is both a little old fashioned and practical) unless they are a little bit older.
If it bothers you by all means ask about it but I wouldn't ask him to stop it.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I always get spaghetti sauce on my shirt no matter how careful I am. And then my girlfriend has to clean my shirt.

You want to say something because your boyfriend has manners? Your boyfriend is polite, Generally that is what every women wants. Let it go and be happy you have a boyfriend who isn't a rude jerk.

It isn't a big deal and in some cases it is more polite then having a dirty napkin all over the table. Is he being serious or just goofing around? I wouldn't give to much thought into it. Everyone is different! Hoped that I could help thanks bye!
