OK so a question for those who have responded:
Do you think it's OK to tell the person in advance what you're cooking, or do you think it is more romantic to have it be a surprise?
I was going to suggest telling her what he was going to make, because I am soooo picky and I would hate for someone to spend a lot of time making something for me that I wouldn't eat. But then I thought that maybe I am just weird and other girls might eat it anyway?
