“But she told me that defeated the purpose of me making dinner for her because she was tired,” he recalled.
So, he ultimately turned to YouTube and watched a video on how to cook the steak. He claimed that it did not turn out totally awful, either. However, the steak was definitely a bit overcooked. It was not exactly “hockey puck” overcooked, but medium-well instead of medium-rare.
The sauce his girlfriend wanted was a little thin, too. Finally, the onions were apparently cut too big, and the broccoli turned out too mushy. While he recognized that the dinner certainly was not “five-star” quality, though, he thought it still tasted pretty good.
His girlfriend, on the other hand, was actually really upset with the meal. According to him, she was disappointed by his “lack of effort.” His girlfriend also claimed that if he didn’t want to have her over for dinner, then he should have just said so.
Plus, after the dinner, she wound up leaving his place pretty early. And surprisingly, his girlfriend has not spoken to him ever since the meal.
“I’m just wondering if I should have tried harder,” he vented. “I thought it was okay, but maybe it wasn’t.”
So now, he is trying to figure out whether he was really the jerk for messing up his girlfriend’s dinner because it was his first time ever cooking that meal.
Didn’t his girlfriend invite herself over for dinner? Should she have just been grateful to eat whatever he already was making instead of thrusting a new meal idea on him? Should he feel bad for “messing up” the dinner or not? How would you handle this situation?
