My Aries friend said to me the other day. "How do you expect to keep a man if you can't cook" I got offended sort of because I told him "I don't like to cook" I never said I can't cook. Cooking is just not my thing. And furthermore I don't believe in that old cliche' about
"A way to a mans heart is through his stomach" Hell, the way to my heart is through my stomach. LOL
The thing that gets me is for the last 2 months he has cooked me breakfast and anything else that I have asked to eat when I am at his house and last Saturday we were laying in the bed and I said do I get breakfast and he said "you know where the kitchen is I will get you a pan? LOL so I was like "you want me to cook? and he said if you want to eat so I said well I guess I won't eat.
Then he said I guess you will eat a ham and cheese like you did last night. So when I got up to go home he went in the kitchen and fixed me a sandwich. I told him that I am very grateful when a man cooks for me cuz I don't like to COOK.
What part of this he does not understand?
Every guy I have ever dated has always cooked for me and I have told them I don't like to cook I'm talking from the Cap to the Virgo to the Taurus guy they have all cooked for me and I sat in the kitchen and watch and let them put my food on my plate and set my plate in front of me. I LOVE IT....It makes me feel special. LOL I am spoiled.
I can do breakfast really good but when it comes to dinner I have no imagination. LOL My son gets excited when he comes in from work and be like Ma you cooking? LMAO. I cook at home when I am hungry and if I am tired then cooking will wait I will sleep before I will cook.
I decided that I should at least cook him breakfast one morning just so he can see that I can cook, and prove to him that I can cook I just don't LIKE TO COOK. What is the big deal really.
And now I'm feeling a little stress because he is pressuring me to cook. He told me I should at least offer. LOL I will do it it only because I care, but I think I will have to tell him that it won't happen that often, maybe once a month or something.
I don't like to go to the grocery store either LOL, I have taken him to the Giant and just walked along side of him while he pushes the cart and just look and see what he is picking up. Know cleaning I can do, I am a neat freak I have to have stuff in order at all times. I just on my son all the time for leaving stuff in the bathroom. My motto is "everything has a place".
I think I lost my desire to cook when I was in my early 20's and I was shacking up with my son father (Pisces) and I was frying some chicken wings and he sat at the table bit into it and it was not done and I cried and never wanted to cook again. Although know I deep fry my chicken when I do cook it but cooking is just to stressful for me.
But if a man was coming round to dinner..then I would impress the socks off him with my cooking..would go all out there! remember..mother to his children, whore in the bedroom, lady in public...Got it all covered..
See that's the thing I am going to their house no man comes to my house because I do n't want my son/family to meet any male friend of mines unless I know it is for sure.
I can look after myself to but hell, don't start cooking for me then when you tired tell me I can't get a man cuz I don't cook...I just don't believe it.
Cooking is not a strong point of mines....come on emeraldgem, I have a 20 year old he survived is what he tells me.
I don't like to be pressured to cook, I feel like he is pressuring me.
I would not call it lucky. It's what I need a man who can cook. I have always offered to clean than cook. And most of the men I date are at least 5 years older than me and are bacholors, and I am playette. It's all in the pickings.....LMAO
"tell him it turns you on when he cooks for you........that'll do the trick!! and with an aries man.......you sure wont go hungry!!"
Know that's the answer I was looking for LOL that is is easy to do...LOL...and I will be there after work today and well tell him....He will probably just laugh and smile.
Maybe I will wipe on him really good give him some scorpion sex with a sting to it...and I amsure to have breakfast waiting before I go to work...LMAO
Roxi... I don't not go in his kitchen, every thing I ask for from the salt and pepper to the napkins he get's it for me.
He has spoiled me. I know I can't tell him that but I will make an effort to cook on the weekends when I an there. But I don't have time to cook and get ready for work he has to do that.
He is a softy...and although I know I really get on his nerves sometimes with my comments I know he really really cares for me and he loves the sex....he never tells me no. I love it.
"Sorry! My man is the one in the kitchen...should get him an apron and have him walk around naked with BBQ sauce...hehe "
AMEN
Why does the women have to be in the kitchen all the time....I am to old to be barefoot and pregnant...I would rather be barefoot and not starving....LOL
My god woman!..your sooo coming around to mine...When I am in a good mood, I want to be outside..I suffer he bad moods alone..and cleaning is defo the last thing on my mind..
You know another reason I don't cook is that I want to keep my girlish figure.....I have such a fear of getting fat and I know at my age if I am not fat or overweight know I probably won't be....but I have to maintain my as it is know and keep just like this if I can.
My Aries friend tell his friends that I don't eat because I am trying to keep my figure....
I wonder if he thinks he's giving more and I am not giving enough?
"I have such a fear of getting fat"...I am the opposite..I have a fear of being skinny..I was thin till the age of 25..only recently started putting on weight.. I wanted so desperately to put on weight but couldn't..now I have voluptuous curves..and me love them..
MM belts out a tune:
And I'm on tonight You know my hips don't lie And I'm starting to feel it's right All the attraction, the tension Don't you see baby, this is perfection
I was the same why when I was in my early teens I was a freaking 0-3 I did not gain my weight until after I had my son 20 years ago I am still happy with my size but I can't get any bigger no where.
I want my to be able to rub it flip it and smack it down and nothing get in the way. LOL
I was referring to DB's comment on the other board..about the grey area.it was in response to your comment about whether you think the Aries man thinks your not doing enough...
I wasn't making of you by the way. I just posted that clip because it matched the topic title. I could honestly say that I watched that clip and laughed over and over. It's weird yet funny.
"I was just wondering where you were today..thought I hadn't seen you around lately"
Well I guess I should answer that question.....LOL
No I have not been around for a while...my promotion got me a little busy wearing about 4 hats....finally took some off so I can have time for DXPers and you of course...LOL
Oh well..hard work is always good for the ol' ticker (heart) and of course keeping you sane...We are only given a small spark of madness..we mustn't lose it!..
My neck of the woods is fine..mustn't complain..but can't help myself so will..LOL..Its actually really boring nowadays..I think I am yearning for a new experience..but lets hope new year, new job, new life..waaaaaaay to go..Going to Egypt on 18th December for a week..much needed break..so can't wait for that..getting my holiday body ready 😉
Egypt that sound very interesting, I have not been on vacation this year....oh well maybe next year I will go somewhere special. MM have a really really nice trip and have a lot of fun and tell us all about it.
I agree ab...and I think sl you should loosen up on your hangups...not cooking..etc. Relationships are 50/50...if thats what this is. You could end up loosing a good thing.
"Hold up SL...wanna get back to something you said in your post...you called him your friend, but then you mentioned laying in bed with him? Is like your man and you don't wanna say it, or are ya'll really just friends and you were sleeping over, or is he a friend w/ benefits? I'm just curious as to the commitment level of this relationship"
We have been platonic friends for about 5 years. He proposed we take it a step further, (friends with benefits and more, because of the longivity of the friendship) but getting to know him on another level. LOL

I would not call this a relationship, I never said I was in a relationship, loosen up on my hangups, see that is the problem with you people, LOL did you not read what I said I don't like to cook, I never said I CAN'T cook I DON'T LIKE TO COOK, work with me people.
I did propose to him last night yes I was there last night, LOL I told him after giving serious consideration to what he said about me cooking sometimes, I told him that I will cook on the weekend if I am over his house and he has to make sure that he has some potatoes because I love fried potatoes and I can cook them well. The brother said nothing so I took that as ok...I told him I have no problem compromising.
I got breakfast this morning LOL.....and he offered. I guess I must of laid it on him. LOL

"scorpionlady...........i really owe you an apology.........when i read the other post, i thought you were in your early twenties..............which is why i got a bit carried away with the maternal crap!!"
Hey no problem, I stop long time ago trying to get a guy to be in a relationship with me. I told him that I will not proposed to take this fling any further until it is what he wants. It is much easier to keep it simple for the both of us. And like I tell him all the time this should not be hard so quit making it hard we are both over 40 we should know the rules by know. I try to be as open with him as possible. I also told him that is he seeing a side of me that very few rarely see.
"hypnotic I hope not cuz you will starve at least for dinner...Not really good at making the perfect dinner.... LOL"
ScorpionLady,i don`t know how to say that without hurting your feelings but,I don`t think this relationship will work,it`s not you it`s me.Actually it`s you,dinner is the most important meal for me.
