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.

#99, why the hell do u give? like im sorry, but why is it any of your buissness? like if somone dosent want to eat meat let them be. It dosent always have to be a religious reason like not eating pork. I have many friends who are vegitarians and ok like not eating meat isnt going to stop like those people who slaughter the animals but you know, if its that uncofortable to them and they love animals. Why is that a problem? And i am a vegetairan myself, and i agree with #104 people espeacially vegetarians dont want to take part in that. Does that bother you? well, if it does u need some help dumbass. Like, u hate vegetarians cuz we dont eat meat.... ? is that a very logical explaination to hate them? no. Everyone has there own opinion and i heard some pretty stupid ones. Yours, is by far the most stupidest reason ever. Get a life...

You should have asked her if there were any foods she couldn't eat before wasting so much money out on a dinner... but it's the thought that counts, and at least you tried.

Hey, nice gesture, but you really need to know what she likes, or at the very least the basics -- things she refuses to eat -- before you cook for her. Having said that, even if you know what she likes, cooking a really fancy meal and all isn't a great idea so early in the relationship. I've done it, a number of years ago, and it was a mistake. It was just too much. She felt she couldn't return it...so she didn't try. Quick way to end it.

I've never seen beef ribs served. They must be enormous. 5 people could be satisfied with even one of the larger ones. Surely the OP meant pork ribs.

Things I learned from this thread (multiple times): 1. Many commentors don't bother reading the comments before commenting themselves. 2. Some people believe that the only animal in the world with edible ribs is the pig. 3. When preparing a "fancy meal" for their SO, many people will forget to buy a good (often expensive) bottle of wine to go with their elaborate meal. 4. Someone doesn't eat Ribs (or Beef) should be dumped immediately. 5. Someone who doesn't eat Ribs (or Beef) MUST be a Vegan (not Hindu?). All Vegans are stupid. 6. The OP possibly stole this idea from a movie, specifically "How to lose a guy in 10 days." Finally, if the OP is on the level, he really should have asked his new GF what she likes to eat, or won't eat, before spending so much time and effort on a home-cooked meal. OP? You definitely deserved this one.

That sucks. You should have known what she likes to eat, though, and also, you mentioned you made broccoli and biscuits as well. She can eat those can't she?
