We've all been there. We're hungry, we want to go out to eat, but where do we go? Don't ask me! If you are anything like I am, the questions of where to eat (and often many other decision-making questions) are often met with, "Wherever you want!" or "I don't care!" Don't feel bad, we are the indecisive wonders of the world and it takes all kinds to make the world go around! So without further ado:
1. The clock is ticking. . .
When lunch time starts getting close, you start creating diversions. If they aren't paying attention to their stomachs, they won't ask you where to eat... right?

2. "What do you want for lunch?"
The procrastination didn't work and here comes the inevitable question, your reaction:
The internal mental breakdown has begun and you are at a loss for words so your only reaction is to frantically look around at your friends and hope that they realize that this IS NOT your decision to make.
3. "Just pick already!"
Your friends are impatient but why don't they just make the decision?! Really, you know they are just asking because they too do not like making decisions. You should really learn to ask them before they can ask you.
4. You try to distract them. . .
Your last minute tries at distracting your friends consist of throwing out random phrases. "Hey look! A squirrel!" Didn't work, huh? It was worth a try at least.
5. Your friends make a suggestion...
When your friends finally give in and attempt to offer their own suggestions, you suddenly know exactly what it is that you do not want. They say okay and often offer more...
6. And another. . .
At this point, you have heard their suggestions and decided that they do, in fact, have the worst possible taste in food. "But you had that for lunch last week!" they say, "Yes, but I have decided that that was a bad decision, I do not know what I was thinking."
7. They ask you to decide again.
Your friends have stopped trying to offer their suggestions and turn the decision toward you again. To which you respond with more nervous chatter and a guarantee that you will not be able to make this decision.
8. After a long silence and much self-reflection. . .
After you've all sat in silence long enough you give and offer up your one and only suggestion that you will ever give. "How about ice cream?"
Deciding where to eat is no easy task. It's safe to say that if you're ever with me at lunch time, just tell me where we're eating and don't listen to me if I complain. I can usually find something on the menu that I want to eat. . . I mean ice cream always works too!
