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.

You heathens that don't know good beef haven't lived until you've had a good grass fed standing rib roast of beef. Such a fine piece of cow flesh could easily cost $60. (and worth every penny, mind you...). You folks probably think that you get a good steak at Sizzler... HEATHENS, I say! Wait.. where was I? Oh, right.. Look at this lady as a challenge; convert her to eating beef! Or sacrifice her on the altar of the Great Carnivore Gods! Bwa-ha-ha-haaaa! Well.. or dump her and find a nice beef eatin' girl worth preparing such a fine meal.

First off, to all you morons that are saying ribs are pork not beef...have you seriously never seen a beef rib? It's not even like they are a rarity...don't believe me? Try looking it up. Second, I have been a vegetarian for over 3 years, if someone was cooking for me, I would make sure they are aware of that fact, to those of you saying to dump her or that you would never date a vegetarian...go play in traffic, that's like refusing to date someone for religion...it's what they believe in. And to those saying that she should have eaten it anyways to be polite...you probably don't know any vegetarians...first off, if they don't believe in eating meat, it will disgust them...also, after a few months of complete vegetarianism, the body completely stops producing the enzymes that break up the meat in their system...basically, she will throw up her guts if she eats it.

Her loss? Lesson learned, not a real FML.

It happens. I was a vegetarian for over a year, but recently went back to eating meat because I missed my favorites too much. I had friends and family who had known from the start that I was a vegetarian who forgot on a regular basis, so even if you did know, I totally understand how it could have slipped your mind, especially since she is a new girlfriend. Don't beat yourself up over it, and hey, more ribs for you!

It's okay, it's the thought that counts. Save the meal for your mom or some friends or something, and take her out and get her to buy lmao. I bet she was very impressed though. How would she expect you to know she doesn't eat beef? Like c'mon. No biggie.
