I shouldn’t have to ask everyday I’m not obligated I do it to be nice and I don’t mind but if it feels like a chore it’s a lot but your a little younger I guess. When you have a career, go grad school, intern... you’re tired. I’m not saying I won’t but sometimes I’d like to make what I want not off a list
Does he eat other people's cooking (like his mothers)?

I’m actually not. He likes any type of pasta but I can’t cook that constantly. And his mom honestly told me good luck putting up with it we laughed about it but I didn’t know it was this bad.
Well what you can do is just not cook and let him do it the way he likes it. I do the cooking in my house and wifey stays out of my kitchen. The key to getting restaurant level of consistent cooking is consistent temperatures and timings (get yourself a digital thermometer) and the number one rule, always be tasting your sauces at every stage.
You shouldn't be scared of him. He should be scared of you. After all, you're the one cooking for him. You can shame him if he starts whining over a food starving people across the world can't have.
A picky eater isn't a dealbreaker by any means. You're seriously making a mountain of this molehill. If u don't have anything in ur house he likes to eat when he comes over, tell him to bring his own food. Problem solved!
P. S. I have a girlfriend that is a picky eater so I empathize with you.
We live together and I buy all the food but I know in general what he doesn’t like but it’ll be random things like I made shrimp Alfredo and he took out the shrimp like a child. But he likes fried shrimp I’m trying my best not to yell at him. He’s gonna have to cook himself.

My girlfriend is the same way. Best to just play hard ball and tell him to feed himself or try something new. He won't actually starve.
Tell him to learn to cook and do it together or starve.
Give him a pen and a paper and ask him to write down what he likes and dislikes. Problem solved.
That’s a lot of work for me honestly there needs to be compromise.
Really? It sounds pretty simple to me but whatever floats your boat. Good luck.

I meant in general, not everyday a list.
I like different varieties I think that’s the issue I don't know he may just need to cook for himself sometimes
Or... you could just be bad cook :D?

Ahh he sounds exactly like me then.

make him find his own food if he wants to be difficult
He can learn to eat what is made for him and be thankful and respectful, or he can starve.

If he's a picky eater and he chose you then you must be special to him. If you know what I mean :P
Well dessert is always served he eats that 😏 let me stop lol
You’re not his mama. If he’s not cooperating and making you his slave, dump him.
It is your fault if you let him be too picky about foor, it is ok to a certain degree but too much not ok
Ur right, he’s grown, he knows what he likes. Why are u stressing urself out all the time?
Ask him what he wants to eat first, go grocery shopping together, or tell him to learn how to cook.
Why not ask him what food items he likes & doesn't like before you cook?
Because I’m coming home from work and cooking what I see or want to eat

I would seriously let him do the cooking if he is that picky!
Yea it can get pretty intense
tell him "i'm so fucking done with cooking!" and flip the table
Learn to cook decently.. Take cooking classes maybe
"Honey, What would you Like me to Cook that I can do to Please... YOU?"xxoo
Bread and Water is always a Hit. Present that to him when the collapse of the economy hits and no more food in any store. xx
Just start cooking whaver your want and offer some but remember your not a burger king...
let him cook for himself or stop being picky promblem solved.
i am also a picky eater, don't get mad, he can't help it
Yeah it’s called tough love, he can cook himself if he doesn’t like it, I wish I had a girlfriend that cooked for me
Let him cook his own food so that he can't complain about not liking stuff
