  1. Just say you already ate but would love you would love the company.  Maybe you could have dessert or get drunk.


  2. The proper etiquette is to decline the invite if you are not going to eat anything or if you do accept the invite you should eat a little something to not be impolite.

  3. Tell the person that while you are touched by their invitation, you have just eaten, but would be glad to do it another time.

  4. I would be honest up front...tell them that you just had dinner, but you would like the company.  Maybe you could eat small portions if you have any room.  I don't think that you should ever make yourself eat when you aren't hungry or eat something that you don't like.  

    If they are inviting you specifically, but you have already eaten, tell them that you just finished your meal and you would love to...and suggest another day (not 'can we do it another time?'...more like 'how 'bout tomorrow?')

  5. i wud b a bit offened why did u eat b4 hand if u were invited 4 dinner in the first place

  6. Tell them upfront at the time of the invitation that you've eaten and if they still wish your company then it would be fine. You could have a drink or a dessert to celebrate your friendship with this person.

  7. just tell them that you've already eaten.  it'll help them understand why you're not eating anything and they won't take it as an insult

  8. Just have a little to eat. Not much, otherwise it is rude.

  9. You Can only eat so much...!!

  10. yes it would if they invited you for dinner, but if they just invited you to come over and they happen to be eating dinner then it would be okay to say no thanks for what ever reason.

  11. no just say you already ate

  12. No but you should at least consume 6 or more alcoholic beverages.

  13. Yeah it is ok to still go out, You  just have coffee or beer or something and just talk. Watching them eat is not a crime.
