Casual Tableware

Even single man needs to eat at home once in a while, in fact many do it all the time using generally casual tableware that they  have chosen themselves. For one reason or another, women believe that men are useless at home and that they cannot keep their houses clean, decorated and well equipped for any occasion. This may have been true a long time ago when men were supposed to work all day and come home for the little lady to take care of them. But today neither men nor women accept this attitude they are both capable of cooking and working and fending for themselves alone.

A single man usually lives in a loft or an apartment, they are easier to manage and keep under control. He probably does not entertain many people at the same time, especially for dinner. A dinner invitation at home will probably mean three or four people at the most. Usually he will not have two sets of tableware but he will have a nice set of casual tableware complete with serving dishes and all.

A fine set of porcelain tableware is usually their choice. These are sober without too many decorations and no designs and colors on them. A flowery, colored set of plates may give people the wrong impression about them. They will also not take the time to decorate and set the table to match with their dinning set. So a nice plain white set with a slight golden edge will look great.

It does not necessarily have to be expensive, he can find many casual tableware sets that are finely finished and give the impression of being expensive when they are not. He will also have the advantage that there will be no children to break his plates or glasses. Now all he needs to complement the table is a flower arrangement he picked up at the flower shop which looks great with his tableware and he is all set.

A set for eight people is enough for a single man’s apartment because if you think about it probably his dinner table will not sit more than six or eight people at the most. Plus organizing a dinner for more than eight people would implicate planning and preparation, single men will not usually do this. It would be easier just to take them to a restaurant and save himself all the trouble. But a group of eight is manageable and he will be comfortable hosting them.

To complement his casual tableware he will also need matching serving dishes, not too many because he will not entertain too many people and serving dishes take up space he may not have. One soup serving bowl , a salad bowl and two or three serving dishes is enough to handle the largest crowd he may have.

It is important that he has everything he needs to set the table and to serve it too. A nice set of tableware and attention to details and his guest’s needs, will go a long way.  Who knows, maybe the girl he has invited is impressed by him and his casual tableware and makes a move towards a longer closer relationship.
