A man booking an entire restaurant for a romantic date should be considered the norm, not a big deal — Media personality Caramel sparks reactions with a bold take
Influencer Caramel Plugg has explained why certain grand gestures from a partner, including business-class flight upgrades and booking an entire restaurant for her birthday, may not necessarily feel extraordinary to her.
Caramel Plugg made this known during a recent episode of Drink or Spill, while responding to questions from the interviewer about romantic gestures she would expect from a partner.
When asked about a partner who upgrades her flights to business or first class without telling her whenever she travels, the influencer admitted that such a gesture could feel like the “bare minimum” because she already treats herself to business-class tickets.
“I don’t want to sound somehow, but I already do that on my own, I already get myself business class tickets. So maybe that’s why it’s bare minimum. I’m so sorry. I’m not that person, but I swear it’s just because I already do these things myself,” she said.
The interviewer then presented another scenario, asking how she would feel about a partner booking an entire restaurant so she could celebrate her birthday privately with loved ones.
Caramel Plugg initially questioned the restaurant involved, asking, “He books out the entire restaurant?” before stressing that her reaction would depend on the type of restaurant.
“It depends on the restaurant, girl. Oh. It depends on the restaurant. It’s true now. You guys don’t make me sound cocky, but it depends on the restaurant. Like, what if he takes me to, like Mama Put?” she said.
She, however, acknowledged that completely booking out a restaurant could be considered a special romantic gesture.
“I think it’s just special. I think that’s a special thing to do genuinely, like to book out the entire restaurant. I think it’s a special thing to do, but I also think it’s a normal thing to do most times,” Caramel Plugg added.
