Today, I spent a solid four hours and over one hundred dollars preparing a nice fancy meal for my new girlfriend. A delicious three pound rack of ribs with a sweet and sour marinade. Steam broccoli with melted cheese. Home made buttermilk biscuits. I serve the meal. She doesn't eat beef. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, I spent 5 hours preparing dinner for my fianc''s grandparents, whom I've never met. At dinner, his grandmother says to him, "If you're going to pick someone to spend the rest of your life with, at least make sure she can cook." I'm the executive chef at a 4 star restaurant. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, I spent my entire day off making a brisket. It had been cooking for 8 hours when, just before dinner, I went for a quick jog. In that time my girlfriend came home and ruined it by trying to make it the way she wanted. I'm a chef and she's an office worker. We couldn't eat it. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I thought I would be cute for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I cooked a three course meal for her with candles and rose petals on the floor. She loved the dinner, except now she's passed out in a food coma upstairs while I'm left with the dishes. FML
Today, I made a healthy, delicious dinner. My girlfriend picked at it until it went cold, then stuck it in the fridge. Later, she devoured a giant bowl of sugary cereal, then complained all night that her stomach hurt. This happens a lot. FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML
Today, I spent 4 hours making a cheesecake for my brother's girlfriend, which she begged me for a week to make. After my oven breaking and having to buy a new hand mixer, she tells me she's not going to eat it because this morning she decided to try being a vegan because, "it sounds interesting." FML

That sucks, but before you go all-out on a meal like that you should at least know what she likes and doesn't like.

How long have you been dating this woman? You didn't know she doesn't eat beef? My GF doesn't eat it either, but I knew that within a few days of hooking up with her.

Whaddya mean your life is ******? She'd have to be a real bitch to not appreciate you making all that for her, and she had no reason to expect you to know. She's gotta be kinda dumb to leave that out when she's coming over for dinner.

Dude you should have asked what she did and didn't like before you decided to make dinner. Just bring it up in conversation a few times before you make the dinner if you want to keep it a surprise

she really should have told you that if she was aware that you were cooking for her.

It's for the best- who wants a *vegetarian* for a girlfriend? Better it ends now before she starts forcing it on your future kids.

I hope you at least got a BJ for your trouble. That's ****** up that she didn't happen to mention something like that.

Why would you make such an elaborate meal for a new girlfriend? I'd be kind of freaked out if the guy I just started dating was trying to impress me with all this fancy shit. This stuff is nice for like a birthday or an anniversary, but just into a relationship? You're trying too hard. Sweet, but you're gonna get walked all over.

Haha, I agree with #98 :P. But to all those people saying 'dump her' - Just because she can't eat it doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate it, that's just stupid...if you were allergic to peanuts you wouldn't eat a peanut dish, but you'd still appreciate the gesture. She should have told you earlier or you should have asked. Either way, its nowhere near the end of the world. And #99, you are an ignorant moron.
