Do you believe that exploring new food experiences together can help deepen a relationship?

Question

When I was dating (I'm engaged now,) one of my "tricks" was towards the end of a dinner first date. The waiter asks if we want dessert and she AUTOMATICALLY says "no," because every woman knows that if she says "yes," they guy will think she is a cow. So then I say to her, "I'd kinda like a little dessert but I don't know if I could eat a whole dessert. Would you be willing to share one with me?" This makes it look like she is doing me a favor, so that makes it easier for her to say, "Well, okay, I guess I could do that." So we look at the menu, I ask her what looks good to her, and she names whatever menu item contains the most chocolate, and we order that. . . one item with two forks or spoons.

When the dessert arrives, we need to sit closer - of course - to eat from the same plate, and our legs are probably touching. I make a point of looking directly into her eyes a few times while enjoying the triple chocolate fudge molten lava ganache-laden whatever. I also try at some point to feed her a bite from my fork and then of course she reciprocates and feeds me a bite.

Do you think any of this makes us feel a bit more relaxed with each other, a bit more comfortable and accepting of each other, a little bit more bonded? Absolutely!

We all have the best emotions the best of everything inside of us we also have the worst of everything inside of us when you go out and you do new things together you experience new things with each other you open up doors within each other to let our own happiness our own experiences out and when we feel those we become happy and that's what we need we need to be honest with ourselves explore experience with each other to allow each other happiness to shine bright when that happens no matter what you do whether it's eating food or going to the beach picking up garbage it does not matter if it makes you happy experience it it's beautiful whatever you do if you do it with somebody else that can be a very beautiful experience and that's what we're all here for is to experience all happiness together as one

Yes I actually do, I come from a very multi cultural city and travelled a lot so I've been privileged to be able try a lot of different foods from different countries whilst my boyfriend on the other hand comes from very traditional British background in the country eating white people food.

I always turned my nose up at a lot of white people food strangely enough as I am white but my boyfriend started taking me to places he liked to eat and I realised its not all Shepherd's pie and coleslaw.
I also introduced him and his family into a lot of the things I enjoy eating like Samosa's and Onion barjays or "banjs" as my boyfriends mother likes to cool them 🤣

Yes... my ex boyfriend and I used to cook different kinds of food together, and we experience so much that we just had lots of fun in the kitchen. It got our relationship more deep and stronger and enjoyed the company of each other. Unfortunately we broke up due to he thought I was tooo young for him ( he was 12 years older than me) and I didn't care about the age gap at all, but he did. Anyways, I had fun with the relationship.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I believe relationships are strengthened when you walk through stressful or high pressure situations in a mutually supportive and not disparaging way. Having that capacity to disclose your private thoughts to a receptive person willing to entertain you after your crises event, builds the social bonds that lead to loyalty and mutual love.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Yes exploring any new experiences together can certainly strengthen a relationship more and deepen the bond. May it be food, new places, new things… you get to know each other more and understand each other better.

Blackcupcake · Answer

yes!!! if both parties enjoy food of course. I LOVE food, and I love trying new foods and different cultural foods, so it is definitely something that would make me bond with my significant other more if he was into that as well.

ManOnFire · Answer

This is 100% true. Food really does bring people together and that applies to dating as well. One of the best things me and my ex would do was pick a place at random sometimes to try out, and we would have fun eating there and sharing each other's food.

Really great question by the way.

jshm2 · Answer

No. The opposite.

Eat what you eat, let them eat what they want. But when you try and "control" the food of the other, is when you're really just trying to hide your controlling tendencies. Usually under the guise of "food experiences".

Sure, mutually and through agreement is a different thing. But always be wary of the trap of people breaking your boundaries under different guises.

Absolutely. When we went to Korea, I specially wanted to do a cooking class so we can learn the native ways, and it didn't disappoint! Not only did we learn KBBQ their way, and eat good, but also took us on a grocery tour, as they have a lot of outdoor shops.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I was a former sous chef. Cooking is big in my life. Some of my best dates were in the kitchen. Exploring new food experiences together, at home, out about town, or abroad can be a wonderfully meaningful experience.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Yeah... girl was talking about how much she loves cream cheese so I put it all over my penis while she was in the bathroom. When she came out I told her to show me how much she loves cream cheese.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

definitely, it's a bit of an emotional experience trying new things right? There's good and bad, you get to experience it together and it leads to so many other experiences like meeting people or rude waiters.

Makes for memorable times.

SnowedIn · Answer

Eh. For the right people. It wouldn't do anything for me. I'd do food experiences with a partner if it made them happy but not just because.

shades777 · Answer

shared experiences help but some women are stuck culturally but I imagine with the right woman sharing foods of different cultures would be pretty cool.

I've had some girlfriend who ate their stereotypical foods and Im anything but that.

Anonymous · Answer

New experiences together helps grow the relationship with a joint history. New ways to see different sides of one another helps build your understanding of one another.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Yes! As long as you both understand how to disagree peaceably. (Since one person might like the new food and the other one hate it.)

Iron_Man · Answer

Well, it would be fun, but I think relationship comes from the heart and being together not just tasting food

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

Yes. New food and new memories? I’ll take that any day. Plus you have to travel together

Shy_Steve · Answer

Simply Spending time with someone can deepen a Relationship, It's not about what you do together.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Absolutely! Even if you don't like some of them, it's still experiencing new things together.

If you are both foodies. If one is and the other isn't or both aren't, no.

dragoblack · Answer

Anything 2 people do in a relationship will do that, it's a method of intimacy.

Probably, but the reverse is true too, most nice restaurants don't seat singles.
