Should a guy date a girl who can't cook and shows no interest in learning?

MY GOD!   this makes me so mad you have no idea!  Why is it the woman's responsibility to keep house?!  Freaking gender roles!  I can't clean and I can really only make quesadillas, but if a guy dumped me for that he's a moron.  I'm really smart (going to the #2 public university in the U.S.) and I am fun to be with.  If all you care about are her cooking skills then you don't deserve her, you chauvinist pig!  Why don't you pick up a cookbook and gain a new skill, you jerk!

Not dating when you are not ready is good. well something you can do together is taking a long walk and talking about what he like to do or what you like to do and make shor you tellhim that you dont want to get to deep in things ,become very good friend and if thats not good for him than you are to dam good for him. Sokeep it moving there is someone out there for baby girl.sign:justsaysexy@yahoo.com

Billy, In my opinion I find that it depends on if you are really looking at dating as really trying to build a relationship or if it's more for just the company of having someone to do things with. At your age which is only 2 years older than this girl I find the aspect of dating okay as long as you sustain from doing things that truly might change your life and hers in ways that you two are far from ready for. So just have fun and don't get to serious just yet, there is still to much life you need to live before complicating it .

I have to disagree with your question. Your question assumes that all guys have problems with smart girls. Not the case. I'm a guy, and I love smart girls. Intelligence, for me, is one of the best things a girl could ever have. The only way this really becomes a problem is if the girl is significantly smarter than the guy, and the guy has a problem with it. Also, I know some girls that so desire to establish their intelligence that they shove it down your throat in every which way imaginable. If you're having trouble with the guys you're dating, just date smarter guys.

No one is perfect. I don't really have any standard. He just need to not smoking or do drugs (I'm allergic to any kind of smoke), and have to be taller than me. \n\nMoney is important but it's not gonna make me love a guy less or more. In fact, love grows when you are in financial problems and you stay with the guy to help him pull it through. (personal experience)\n\nCar is not at all important, let alone skateboard and scooter (I think guys on skateboard and scooter are immature). MTA works just fine, espcially right now when gas priceand insurance are sky high. \n\nI date to please myself and my date. Both should have a good time while dating. And of course I would want to be a good dater.\n\nI don't know when my next date is. Probably this Valentines. My bf live with me so it's hard to tell when's our date. We went out to eat everynight. Is it dating ? :-)

Absolutely. It's better to learn as much information as you can on a date, and I can imagine that any girl worth your time would find this charming.

her stay at home boring life?.....well maybe you should stop being a fucking jerk off before she gets smart and divorces your ass...then who will cook your yummy food and clean up after your piggish self.....what exactly is your question?

You probably need to find out if she is interested in changing the relationship.  If she has no desire to change the relationship, then you would be wasting your time.

No, not at all, if that type of behavior turns your float, floats your shipyard, dismantles your  lock, stock and barrel, then ask him out. And if anyone has a great idea for a first date send them in. Let's help this woman out.\n\n\nGreat question by the way and I'll do the cooking.

If her parents are the ones getting in the way he should just try to be friends with her, and proove to her parents that he is a steady responsible boy.\n\nIf her parents are fine with her dating, but the girl is un-sure... well he should do basically the same, but perhaps he could broach the subject of dating a little sooner.\n\nBasically he should be respectful of her, and try to get to know her first, proove that he's in it for the long run, and that he really cares for her.

you need to sit down and talk with him. If he has waited until he could find a girl for a relationship and you are her, then a little romantic won't kill him. You both need to know how each other feels. If he doesn't want to fall in love, then why date you? You do want a forever guy, right?\nIf he's truly incapable of love and romance, dump him and move on. Those little gestures of love are what make a relationship work. It sounds like he doesn't know what he wants. If he is someone you could see yourself with, then you need to go get a few relationship books or see if you can teach him romantic things you'ld like. Getting flowers for no reason, calling you at work to say he's thinking of you, surprising you with take out for dinner. Anything that shows he cares.

they think you have  an eating disorder or  diet obsessed generally if you dont eat. Some  might get grossed out if  you  pigged  out and  ate more than them, others might think it was cool . If they go out to  dinner with you,  they brought you  out to dine with them,  something they usually love  to  do EAT! they want you to enjoy it with them not watch them as you poke at a house salad and diet coke. If you  date a guy for a while  it becomes easier to just go out like you normally would with a friend.

I agree somewhat with Katrina, that men can be intimiated by independent and strong women.  But, as a guy, I would say "put off," not exactly intimidated.  For example, I recently dated a gal who I was very attracted to, although she wasn't stunning- she just "did it" for me.  But, she spent too much time telling me about her degrees from MIT, how she worked for Steve Jobs, etc..  Relationships are about humanness to me- life's little problems, emotionality, sensuality.  I talk shop all day at work, and want something deeper in a relationship.  It just got to a point where I didn't want to hold a conversation with her, since we just couldn't connect.  I guess the point is maybe revisit the guys you like with a deeply human approach, and see how that works.  I agree with the rest of the posters-  it's hard to meet someone you like.  It's true for me, too.  I live in the middle of nowhere.

A big one would be making excuses as to why she can't go out with you.  Women don't want to hurt a man's feelings, so instead of just flat out telling them they aren't interested, they will make excuses.\n\nEDIT:  Oh, man I totally apologize.  I've got a touch of dyslexia, and I thought it said not interested.  Just ignore my bumbling rant.  But at least you will have an idea of what to expect if she's not.

Teaching and dating don't mix, it ends up being a big problem. Best thing is to just don't do it.

It is not about MAKING her anything!!!\n\nRelationships are not as simple as baking a cake!\n\nIt is not a LABOUR!  If I do this, this and this she will\n\nbecome my girlfriend!!!????\n\nIf the chemistry is right, you wont have to DO anything!!\n\nDont chase girls you have to "DO " things for all the time \n\nto keep!!   That will get you a girl who likes what you do\n\nbut not who you are!!!\n\n\nFind someone who likes hanging out with you even when you\n\nare doing nothing.

Yes, sure I would, doesn't really matter how the girl looks. I'm not picky at all. But you're just 15, so I'd put off dating for a few years. It isn't like you're "not ready" as some parents or other adults might say, just you should enjoy life and not worry about dating or if you have a boyfriend every moment of every day. Take some classes, play sports, read, write, learn, and relax.
