I have never been to a fancy restaurant my entire LIFE and I'm scared about going to one....

I think I've been to a restaurant maybe 5 times in the last 3 years. Even before COVID, we were just not generally into going out at restaurants and when we did, it was like...not the type with a reservation or anything. I think the most luxurious was an Indian place we went to. It wasn't like fine dining either (who cares the food was 1000000%)

But now my friend for their birthday has invited me to go with them in a few months to a fine dining restaurant after exams. Like it's not like $100 an app, but it's kinda pricy and more importantly, it's fancy? I don't know how to behave there. Kinda scared ngl.

Why are you scared? Just go there, act like a human and enjoy yourself. No need to make it so its the scariest thing in the world, she invited you to spend time as friends and have fun!

It's just us two....I don't know about table manners, like I don't generally even use utensils at my home. I mean I think I eat neatly but like I have no clue what a butter knife is, or like whatever fancy people do.
