What to text when she's deciding whether to trust your restaurant taste
What to reply when she says she's deciding if she can trust your restaurant picks. How to read it, what a good reply does, and when to follow up.
When she says she's deciding whether to trust your taste in restaurants, she is not really asking about food. She is testing whether you will make a plan that holds up and whether you can take a bit of teasing without getting defensive. It is a light, slightly playful challenge, and it usually means she is interested enough to be evaluating you.
A good reply treats it as the joke it is while showing you have a point of view. You are not trying to win an argument about a restaurant. You are trying to make her feel like picking you would be fun and low risk. If you get defensive, over-explain, or start listing credentials, you turn a playful test into a verdict.
What matters most is that your reply makes the next step easy. Once she trusts your taste enough, the restaurant becomes the plan, and the plan is what gets her to say yes.

The word "deciding" is the signal. She is holding your taste up for review, and the "lol" tells you she is mostly joking. Someone who really didn't trust your judgment would not bother to say it, they would just stop replying or suggest something else. Saying it out loud means she is enjoying the banter and wants to see how you handle being challenged a little.
Your job is to notice the level of seriousness. If she followed up with a question about a specific place or asked what you'd order, she is still in the game. If her replies got shorter, the test might be tipping toward a flat no, and you should make a clear, confident suggestion rather than more jokes.
Show one clear pick, then stop talking
The fastest way to earn trust here is to commit to something specific. Name one place, one dish, or one kind of spot that fits the vibe you two have been building. A concrete pick signals taste far better than a defence of your taste. Keep the reason short, one line about what makes the place good, so she can judge it herself.
Then let her respond. If you pile on extra suggestions or keep explaining, you dilute the pick and make it look like you are nervous about it. One pick, one reason, and a clear question about whether she wants to go. That is what makes it feel like a plan instead of a debate.
Let the teasing end with a date on the calendar
Banter about taste is fun for about two or three exchanges. After that it starts to feel like stalling. Once she has said she is still deciding, the most useful thing you can do is turn the joke into a concrete proposal with a day and rough time. Something like the plan itself, not a question about whether she is free in general.
If she accepts, the test is passed and you can stop being judged. If she goes quiet or replies with something noncommittal, do not keep pushing the restaurant. Ask one simple question about timing or availability, and if that gets nothing back, let it rest rather than sending a second pitch.
Why these replies fail
“Lol I promise I know good food, I've been to like every spot in the city, I'll send you a list so you can see”
It turns a joke into a credentials contest and hands her a list to judge instead of a plan to say yes to.
“Haha okay fair, what do you feel like? I'm open to anything”
It gives the decision back to her, so she has to do the work and the plan never actually forms.
“I hear you, but I really think you'd love this place. Trust me on this one. Have you ever had the tacos at the spot near the station? They're amazing and I think you'd really like them and we should definitely go there sometime”
It over-argues the pick, uses vague timing, and buries the single suggestion under so much pleading that it reads as nervous.
Common mistakes
- Getting defensive and listing your food credentials
- Asking her what kind of food she likes without offering anything
- Letting the playful test drag on for several messages without a plan
- Sending a long paragraph of justification for one restaurant pick
- Answering with a vague "wherever you want" that hands the test back to her
Questions people ask
- Does she mean she doesn't like my restaurant choices?
- Usually not. When someone says they're still deciding whether to trust your taste, it is almost always a light test with some teasing in it. A flat rejection tends to come with silence or a different suggestion, not a joke. Treat it as an invitation to show your pick, and keep the tone easy.
- Should I send a list of places so she can see I know good food?
- No. A list gives her homework and makes you look like you are trying to prove something. Send one specific place with one line about why you like it, then ask whether she wants to go. One clear pick reads as confidence, a list reads as anxiety.
- How long should I wait before suggesting a specific date?
- If the banter is going back and forth within a day, you can propose the plan in your next message. If she has gone quiet for a day or more, wait a few hours before a light follow-up that includes a concrete suggestion. Do not stack multiple messages about the same test.
- What if she never answers after I suggest a restaurant?
- Send one short follow-up a day or so later, something that makes it easy to answer, like asking which day works. If that gets no reply either, let it go for now. Repeated pitches after two unanswered messages turn a playful moment into pressure, and that usually ends the conversation for good.
