It can be fun to have little debates about what looks best and even a slight preference for ordering something different from your partner or friends if you are a small group. This is a way of getting excited about what you're about to eat.

I think this is a matter where having opinions that are too strong, *even if they are sensible,* is a bit neurotic. Everybody should order appetizers and the main at the same time, but if somebody won't order the duck because I'm ordering it, that's fine. If they make a little remark because I pick the duck after they did, I just say "but it sounds so good!"

If they actually get annoyed at me, *that's* neurotic, but this kind of opinion tends to be lightly held.
