My Boyfriend Avoids My Cooking

hahahahah, gala gala galaaaaaaaaa, 50 naira gala

well, my sista, a quick one.
has he EVER tasted your food before?
if yes, wot did he say about it? there lies your answer
if NO, then i guess he needs time, so give him some space.
i know it hurts, but u don't need to take it personal, just give him some space

My thoughts exactly!!!

Ladies, he is not your boyfriend if he comes for sex only. So don't parade him around as such, he will surely deny you.

he might just be like me. i don't eat outside even in my relatives house. this is as a result of reflex action within even when am damn hungry. so just take your time. and if he his not still eating you can place a vacancy on nairaland and am sure you will those that will eat your food and even steal your food under the stand. cheers

He might just be scared of Love portion, especially after he heard about what you did to your last boyfriend. That Negro is still waking up shouting your name, 5 years after you dumped him. I would be scared too. 

maybe he does not eat food

Why on earth should u cook for your boyfriend?

He's not your fiance for all I care and he hasn't paid your brideprice either.

your cooking for him will only reduce your bride price.

  ???just joking,

but u've got to ask him why

Wow, strong words. What has your opinion on the lady got to do with the original poster's query? You're so easily side tracked, it's unreal.

@ OP: There's something not right about your boyfriend refusing to eat a meal cooked by yourself! 

If roles were reversed, and my girlfriend wouldn't eat any meals cooked by myself, then I'd ask myself how we got close enough to be boyfriend and girlfriend in the first place. Love potion? I didn't think people still believed in all that, in this present day and age. That to me, is even worse than her admitting she's a fussy eater - it means she can't trust me, and of course, if that's the way her mind works, I wouldn't trust her either.

You need to really get some answers from your boyfriend! If he merely says "give me some more time", then you have to decide what to do. That mentality he's portraying, (if he's scared you're going to "jazz" his meal) is akin to the mistrust a dog or other wild animal portrays, when they sniff their food for ages, before deciding whether to eat it or not.

Your boyfriend needs to get real. He sounds like the sort you'd go on holiday with, and he'll sniff and pick at his meal in a restaurant, because he thinks it's been poisoned. Very embarrassing. And as for him rejecting your food, very very rude!

From what the poster says, he hasn't tried her food, so I doubt that's the reason.

Hmm, sounds like you're the confused one here.

What has a lady who's boyfriend only comes to her for sex, got to do with the original poster's query?

Why were you so intent on insulting her, when the original poster's query is the issue here?

From your reactions and responses, it would appear you have little or no control over your temper.

And you too like the sex
 

Now, where did I display any rudeness, or disrespect?

Sure, folk are entitled to their opinions.

When they get rattled enough to use the language you do, then they have issues that need addressing.

Typical - an average Nigerian that can't admit they've made an error, or are no good at rubbing ideas with others, invariably resort to insults. So, hardly surprising.

Just another black guy, that feels it's "cool" to use Americanized insults.

I doubt your attitude was the same in Nigeria, or was it?

Happy swearing. I've said all I wanted to.

@ Poster

Just buy a pet,preferably a dog or cat,so whenever you cook for him,call in the dog as soon as you dish the food and have the dog taste it,if the dog does not slump or start acting funny towards you,I'm sure your guy will gobble the whole food because he would have been convinced that there was no egbelekokomiyor in your food

What is a supernatural food ?

@Poster
Maybe you don't cook well or he doesn't trust you enough to eat your food.Besides, he's only a boyfriend and not a fiance or husband so why getting yourself worked up?

Check yourself properly and know what your lapses are and work on them as soon as possible to avoid future re-occurence. GLuck

I have been married for 4 years now. While we were dating, I remember it took about 4 months before he would eat or request for my cooking. I noticed he is very conscious of what he eats, he never ate at parties, he would only drink juices or soda which he opened himself. He would actually cook and eat before attending any parties so he's not hungry. When I asked him about it he said his mum always did that for him and his sibligns while he was growing up (his sister does the same thing for her family). I would ask him to join me in the kitchen, we cooked together until he felt comfortable enough and he would ask me to cook something for him.
Some people are just like that, he now eats at parties but only if I actually dish the food or he serves himself. He will not take anything from anyone else. He says if I dish out the food then it's good enough to eat.
