It was my one year anniversary today with my partner.
We went to a reasonably expensive restaurant on the beach.
The female maître de pulled the chair out for my partner. He ignored it and pulled my chair out for me.
It was at this point the maître de made an awkward joke about meaning to pull the chair out for me. Then she said if it didn’t work out between us - she would take him and made a deal out of it. Then said apologised to me saying I have a good man but repeated that she would have him if it doesn’t work out.
When he booked online for the restaurant you could say what the booking was for i.e. wedding anniversary, birthday, drinks only, first date.
I’m six months pregnant (visibly so). So I thought it would be funny to book in as first date.
In this context - was it a bit weird for the maître de to make such a comment that it we didn’t work out she would have him?
Obviously she saw that we booked in as first date.. When we walked in and he said his name she asked ”how do you pronounce your name?” (even though he has already said it.
He repeated his last name and then she said that they had discussed it and didn’t know how to pronounce it.
I just felt like she was flirting.
This, followed by the comment that she would take him if they didn’t work out makes me think she was flirting.
AIBU - or was the maître de flirting with my first date?
