Lifelong bachelor who eats out nearly everyday. I don't get a kiss at the door and a "have a good day" or a smile and a "how was your day?" on return. Instead, I have my favorite places to eat and favorite waitresses to see that give me a somewhat similar experience. Nothing like a pretty waitress with a warm hug and a little back scratch to send me on my way. I tip them well and they can't wait to see me come through the door. No robot can replace that.
Man, you sure have some romantic ideas about marriage! LOL
Me and the missus will celebrate 22 years together next week. I couldn't ask for a better wife, but she's never been one to dote like that. But boy, can she make a mean breakfast.

Not me! I could gladly do without the hoping for a bigger tip, suck-up routine.
Ate at Red Lobster yesterday. The “server” gave my meal to the wife and vice versa. Except after switching them to the right people, my wife had my asparagus and her rice was still in the kitchen.
It was dead, there were hardly any customers in the place. He did suck up enough for my wife to still leave him a decent tip. YES, my wife pays! After all she has the money.
