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

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 thought I would be cute for my 1 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

Today, I had a date over for the first time since I moved out. I made a beautiful dinner… for one of us. I'm so used to cooking for just myself that I only made one serving. FML

Today, I made broccoli and peas with dinner. My girlfriend pouted, sulked, and refused to eat "yucky veggies", demanding fries or chips. Apparently, I'm dating a fucking toddler. 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.

If she knew you were cooking for her, she really should have mentioned it. You should have maybe asked her if she had any food restrictions, though. Either way, it blows that you spent all that money and time!

Dude how does that cost $100. Ribs are not that expensive, even if it was grass fed beef it would be no more then $10 a pound. Then broccoli and with cheese is not that expensive, broccoli being around $2 a pound for organic broccoli. While cheese can be pricey, i would doubt you would use a cheese like parmigiana reggino which can be up to $20 a pound, i guess you used a good aged cheddar like Dubliner, which goes for around $10 a pound. That brings your total to around $50 without the biscuits. If anyone bakes they would understand how cheap it is to bake your own breads, there is no way you could spend $50 on supplies for biscuits. Anyway dogg, i doubt many would consider ribs and biscuits a fancy meal but rather comfort food. Anyway do not be discouraged from cooking for a girl, I always cook for a girl for a first date. But you should maybe ask if she has any preferences or allergies before you set a menu.

1. You should have known. 2. If you spent over $100 on 3lbs of meat, veggies, and biscuits, you got ripped off.

sounds like the scene from how to lose a guy in 10 days. except that you got ripped off when it came to grocery shopping for it.
