[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 43 and attractive, in shape, and dating. Lately all of the guys I've gone out with have asked right away if I like to cook. I don't.[b] The guy I'm dating now gets homemade meals delivered from his mom weekly (supposedly for his kids, but he eats it too). Is this going to be a problem[/b]?[/quote]
When DH and I started dating , I did not know how to cook. He was 39 at the time.  He knew this about me, and he didn't care. He knew how to cook, and actually cooked for me while we were dating. Still does.

The bolded would make me run. The problem is not you not knowing how to cook, but that he's looking for a cook for his kids (and himself).

Eh, I read it as a grandma cooking for her grandkids now that their mom isn’t around. Kinda sweet, assuming she’s local.[/quote]
Why can't he cook? Why does he need his mommy to cook for him? Don't you think that he will expect his GF/wife to cook for him?  Big huge red flag.[/quote]

The PP specifically said that the grandma makes the food for the kids. And lots of men and women can’t cook, it’s not a character flaw.[/quote]

Not a character flaw. No it’s a very easily learned life skill like tying your shoes and in the context presented would be a red flag to me. [/quote]

The context presented is that the grandma brings food over once a week. That is literally the only thing you know about the situation. If you extrapolate that to “man incapable of cooking” that’s a failure of your own critical thinking ability.[/quote]

and asking right away while explaining grandma provides the meals is what gives me pause. no capable individual would have that conversation[/quote]
