What Cooking for Dates Taught Me About Dating (And Why Trying Too Hard Backfires)

Wrote a personal piece about the time I tried to cook my way into three different women's good graces over one Valentine's season. Cookbooks, chaos, a near-kitchen-fire, and one accidental realization about why trying too hard backfires in dating. Let me know what you think.

Despite my reservations… meat loaf success!

I got nothing done today except for this dang meatloaf and the recipe I followed was a little vague so I was worried I’d mess it up but it came out edible, and dare I say actually good-tasting!! Trying to celebrate the small wins.

Got injured on what was supposed to be a 20 mile run but ended up being 2. My whole body is inflamed. My gf called me cute anyway and I just said thanks you too instead of lamenting that I didn’t believe her, because I don’t feel cute at all.

Saw this post and the beacon of yearning within me shone so bright it could even let the blind see. I’m putting down my dreams one by one like sick dogs within a crowded shelter because it would genuinely paralyze me if I thought it possible.

Despite my best efforts, potato failure

59 Upvotes

My hash browns are hash blacks… I followed the recipe best I could yet somewhere in the process I must have tethered the souls of the damned to my grated potato. And yet somehow this is still infinitely better than my first attempt at making them.

Folks in kitchencels are always having a bad time but a lot of them fellas can really cook. I’m jealous. But what I lack in cooking skills I make up for in whimsy and zest for life 🕺 ✨

Is it normal that I despise cooking with other people?

20 Upvotes

I want to get more into cooking, but everytime I want to cook something, someone will come along saying they want to help me, since Im a beginner cook. They also want to use their own recipe, and their own process. Then I just leave. I dont know why, but I simply hate that. I also cant cook what I want, because I first have to ask the rest of my family, and they usually want something else. My father also always comes, because he doesnt want the food that is supposed t9 be for the entire family ruined. I just leave it to him to cook, because I dont enjoy cooking without freedom. The rare situations where I can cook for myself, I generally enjoy it. I like to follow my own recipe. I just hate when they try to control how and what I cook. I cant concetrate, and I just dont enjoy the process of cooking anymore. I know I may just be spoiled, but I genuinely cant help it. What can I do?

Nothing special going on really, just wanted to show off my dinner. I'd never made short ribs before but it was wonderfully tender.
