Getting my wife to choose what’s for dinner
Whenever we decide to get takeout or dine out, it turns into a 30-minute ordeal of me listing every single restaurant option before a decision gets made. She tells me to pick, but whenever I suggest 10 places I actually want, she turns them down — and even when I list all of her personal favorites, she still rejects them. I really wish she would just pick a place right from the start.

How these suggestions work
This method compares public titles and up to 12,000 characters of each public Echo’s text. At least two distinct, non-generic words must match. The displayed words explain each suggestion; repeated words add no weight.
Shared wording does not establish shared participants, agreement, author approval or verified meaning. Different languages, synonyms, short text and unfamiliar wording can be missed.
These suggestions come from the public Echoes available in this view. Private drafts, account details and participation records are excluded.
Dismissing a suggestion changes this browser only, including when someone else uses it. It does not delete either Echo. The suggestion is reconsidered if its public wording changes. You can restore the current suggestions here.
