Not Significant Enough, I Guess

A few months ago, I promised Markus that I would make him one of my signature dishes and I'll gladly do that. Why? Because I don't like him.

I spoke with a friend recently and she admitted that since she and her boyfriend have been living together (approximately 3 months), she has never done the #2 in the home that they share. Out of sheer horror that her boyfriend may look at her in different light if any of his senses were to come across any of her lavatorial works, my friend would rather trot over to her mother's home which is close to her home (but not close enough to make to make her going over there seem plausible) or some random public restroom to keep her relationship strong.



Sheeeeeit (pun intended). If you can't do the doo in the comfort of your own loo, there what's the point of waking everyday?

Although I found her revelation a bit extreme and hard to believe, it got me to thinking about the things that I've refused to do for or around my past significant others.



I don't have many talents, but I think I'm a pretty decent cook. My family members and friends always ask me to whip up things for them and I gladly oblige, but for the love of me, I cannot ever get myself to cook anything for a guy I'm interested in or seeing.

I always worry. Are they gonna "get" the way I hooked up this dish? Will he silently be judging me? If I were to make him my number one specialty and he gives it a so-so reception, will I have to kill him? Certain feelings get hurt very easily, so instead, I just don't go there.

Sounds crazy, I know, but if a guy were wrangle me based on my other merits without any culinary expectations, then and only then will I come around to changing my mind. Probably.
