Appreciation post: My blind date's "weird" habit of asking the waiter 5 questions actually saved the night

Went on a blind date at a Thai spot in Denver last month and almost walked out when she started grilling the waiter about every dish, the oil they used, how spicy the curry really was, and whether the peanuts were cross contaminated. I thought it was a control thing until I watched her casually avoid a reaction that would've sent me to the ER with my shellfish allergy, since I'd forgotten to mention it when we ordered. So where's the line between a date who annoys the staff and one who's just looking out for both of you, and would you go out again?
