I have been seeing these memes floating around Facebook about your girlfriend not knowing what she wants to eat, or her favorite restaurant being, "I don't care." As a woman who loves food and likes to eat, can I just say, I have a few thoughts here.
First of all, if I ever tell you I don't know or I don't care where we eat, it's because I am a cook. I think about food 24/7. I actually do dream about it. Sometimes, I don't want to have to decide yet again for the hungry populous what will be consumed. I just want to sit down with the people I love and relax.
Other times, I know what I don't want to eat. I will NEVER ask you to take me to Shari's, McDonald's, or ice cream. The first two are because I have a rule. I don't want to eat food that I can do a better job cooking than the final product I am served.The last is because I have 45 dietary restrictions, and lactose accounts for a large portion of them. The moral, friends, is to know the person you're with even if they are giving you the freedom to choose the establishment.
Finally, sometimes I just want someone to do something special for me. I want you to pick someplace we can enjoy together. It means I trust your judgement, and I would like you to pamper me, please. It means I don't always have to be in control. Take the compliment, ok?
Lastly, don't be surprised if I have five suggestions of where I would like to eat nine times out of ten. I am still a girl who loves food. Expecting me to say I don't know what I want to eat is setting yourself up for failure in my case. And please, never order for me. This chick likes to taste everything. That's why I became a cook in the first place.
Happy eating with your sweetie.
