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.

#151: There's no point in dumping someone just because of their diet. If someone cooked a meal like that for me, I'd be pretty damn impressed, even though I couldn't eat it. Also, someone who doesn't eat beef would not necessarily be a Vegan, they could just be a vegetarian, and Hindus don't eat beef because they regard the cow as sacred. No, not all Vegans are stupid, only the loud ones. You probably should have known what your girlfriend doesn't eat, but it seems like you were trying to surprise her; I would say that it's not really the fault of either one of you. She couldn't really be mad at you unless she had already told you, so just eat it yourself.

well its kind of rude to say that he doesnt know too much about her. I mean, if she never brought up the fact that she didn't eat beef, it's not like he's gonna go and ask if shes a vegatarian out of no where. hopfully she was grateful anyways.

The fact that you tried to do something like that probably earned you some points. Cooking her a lavish meal, I mean.

So what if ribs are usually pork? I've had beef ribs. And short ribs are beef, and expensive as sin. So uh. Yeah.

I've found that it's best to just assume they're a vegetarian until they say otherwise. Best thing you can do is take them to a restaurant and let them order. If they're a vegetarian, it'll probably come up in conversation.

That was really sweet of you. ^^;; One of my friends suddenly switched over to being a vegetarian and I didn't realize it when I invited her over for dinner - so I sorta understand. And hey, if it works out with you two, you'll laugh about this a lot in the future. :)
