You've got yourself a girlfriend and the relationship is moving faster, so there might be a time when you're wondering what to do if your girlfriend wants your to learn how to cook. If you're like most men, your mother has been taking care of you since you were born--washing your clothes, cleaning your room and cooking your meals--so your cooking skills may not be up to par. If you find yourself in this position the ideas below may help you out.

  1. The mature thing to do if your girlfriend wants you to learn how to cook is to learn how to cook. That's right. Try! Cooking with a girlfriend can be a very sexy experience and might turn her on. As you prepare meals with her, how about a great throwdown on a kitchen table once in a while?
  2. If you don't want to learn how to cook, tell her. Open communication between you and your girlfriend where you tell her about your aversion to learning how to cook may solve this issue. Think about the conversation first so you don't just tell her that you don't want to learn. Putting an good spin on the issue might help your position. Tell her how you like that she prepares meals because it shows you she cares about you. Tell her it turns you on to see her behind the stove. But you should at least do the dishes.
  3. If all else fails and your girlfriend is forcing you to cook (or else), burn everything. You read that right--fail at everything. Make a mess in the kitchen, drop pots, just be a bumbling idiot in your quest to prepare meals. If you choose this tactic, don't be surprised if all of your clothes are shrunk in the wash. She might not want to do the laundry.
