Confessions of Your Girlfriend: Why she wants you to pick dinner

It's Monday again and I'm still wondering why we even have this day. I mean come on! It's the worst.  Anyways as I sat in my seat on Friday before getting off of work and my boyfriend sends me the dreaded text that happens ever so often.  The one that says "you pick where we eat tonight!"  And I roll my eyes and I dread making my answer.  And so do you. Which is why I'm here to solve all of your problems.



1. We don't know your budget.  Last week you took us somewhere expensive and the week before that you took us to that snazzy restaurant by the lake and the week before we spent the day baking expensive foods and now we're wondering if we're asking for too much.  So when you ask us to pick dinner we have no idea where we should choose and what might hurt your wallet.  If you really want us to choose give us choices.  This way you're not on your last dime when we finish our delicious meal.  

2.  We don't know what you want to eat.  Maybe seafood is the opposite of what you're feeling like for tonight, but how could we know without your input?  Or maybe we don't want a burger but we could definitely eat a burger if you wanted one but you couldn't eat Italian.  We seriously don't know what you want and quite frankly we've stopped trying to figure it out, especially when it comes to food and football.  

3.  We don't want you to suffer through something you don't want.  I know it's hard to believe, but we do have hearts.  And you're Prince Charming and will eat wherever we say but we don't really want that.  We want you to enjoy it too.  

4.  We don't want to hear about it later.  If we end up eating somewhere you don't really care for and then it's expensive too, the whole car ride home we'll hear "We could've went to (really great wing place) and got twice as much for less than that."  

5.  We're really set on pleasing you.  We have no idea what it is but when you ask us to choose we really just want to go somewhere you want.  Must be this "Love Spell" thing we're in. 

So do us a favor and choose where we eat tonight.  Whether it be fancy or a hole in the wall we'll experience it with you and that's all that matters.  If the food is good that's a plus too.

As always just for you,

M.
