... and it should go something like this.
Wife: "Let's go out to eat tonight."
Me: "Great, let's do it!"
Wife: "You pick this time. What sounds good to you?"
Me: "How about Japanese?"
Wife: "No"
Me: "Southern?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "BBQ?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "Indian?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "Korean?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "Steak?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "Cajun?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "Brew pub?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "Chinese?"
Wife: "No."
Me: "How about Italian?"
Wife: "But you hate Italian."
Me: "Yes, but I know it's something you like and at this point, I'm more worried about starving to death."
Wife: "OK, Italian it is!"
Me, under my breath: "Well, at least I got to pick. (Sigh)"
And that, my fairer readers, is how it's done. ;-)

Well, if it works for you.
My parents have been saying for years that there should be a restaurant called I Don't Know.
Dad: Where do you want to eat?
Mom: I don't know.
Dad: okay!
We ended up at a Korean place last night because everything else was closed or unsatisfactory. The Korean was a real stretch for her.
She liked it!
Add another cuisine to the list!
In all fairness, she will do Cajun, BBQ, Chinese and brew pubs. I was just having a bit of fun with it.
The key to navigating (*) these straights, betwixt Scylla and Charybdis, is to understand that almost every woman wants her man to --
1) lead her;
2) lead her where she has already decided that she wants to go;
3) know where she has already decided that she wants to go without her *ever* needing to tell him, even if he asks directly.
The reason for these conflicting and mutually exclusive desires is that by agreeing to thr "deal", it becomes *his* responsibility if it doesn't make her happy.
(*) I didn't say 'successfully navigating"
