What are my chances if I cannot cook?

Your Chances of Success Despite Not Cooking

Not being able to cook is unlikely to significantly impact your overall success if you excel in other areas like finance, responsibility, and humor. Many relationships prioritize compatibility over cooking skills. Focusing on your strengths and being genuine can still foster meaningful connections without mastering culinary skills.

Everything I read says "good home cooked meals". I completely lack this skill. How important does this rank as compared to other things? I'm financially responsible, great at making money, investments, cleaning, great sense of humor and fun. But cooking? Yeah..not so much. All my previous bfs have loved cooking and so I never had to learn and I'm almost 40 yrs old. If I make him a home cooked meal it might have the reverse effect I'm looking for....

Find a very easy recipe and just follow the recipe. You will do just fine. Taurus has the talent and their taste buds beats all other sun signs.

Give it a try. If you fail, you can always order take out.

It's never too late to learn something new. Just purchase a simple and easy cook book. Make some test trial meals first, before he tastes them, to make sure they are ready for his taste buds. You're never too old to learn how to cook. There are PLENTY of simple cooking recipes out there.

Good Luck 😉

Start with something easy like Rachel Ray 30 minute meals on the foodnetwork or online.

hexum,

hahaha. Chances still there..1. Be organized and clean. 2. Keep yourself clean too..

3. do find your own source of income. 4. Be attentive to him. 5. learn new thing.

My Taurus man told me M, I have to buy for you a cook book and some plants..

I was worried. I am career oriented and I don't want to be a home momma.lol

He noticed that I can cook and well organized. but I was sad.. lol. I have lots of sports.

I don't want to water the plant and cooking everyday. hahaha

M143 LOL - that is exactly my problem. I am career oriented and like adventures even if they are just happening on the couch 😉 not chores. I have zero nick nacks in my home, maybe three pics on the wall - it is easy to dust and clean so I can leave...be free...not tied down to a bunch of material stuff. I don't even have a well equipped kitchen. While I know I can learn I just don't think I have the desire to. My TM is a collector of material (not pack rat) but motorcycles, boats, big boy toys that I rent so I don't have to clean/store/deal with them in my space. I sort of feel the same way about cooking. I am a single female. I don't eat much. Why should I make this big huge meal/mess when I can order a chicken salad and a glass of wine across the street and skip all that. Anyway, didn't mean to go off on a tangent. I just don't want to cook lol - except very occasionally and I'm hoping that is not a deal breaker... Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
