Small field report: shutting up & trusting him

This isn’t a big deal, but it was small and cute so I thought I’d share.

I started seeing a new guy and he asked me to come to his house for a dinner date. The plan was for him to cook steaks and I would make the sides. He was a little nervous and trying very hard to do well as a pretty inexperienced cook. He even used a marinade for the first time ever. It was really cute! Turns out he had been practicing for a couple of days to prepare for this date.

I thought in my head that perhaps he was cooking them too long on one side, but I trusted him and said nothing. Turns out when he flipped it over that it was completely charcoal black. He was disappointed, so I just hugged him and told him that it was totally okay.

He instantly went to solving the problem and said he’d just take me out to dinner instead. He figured out what kind of food and made the quick decision.

The rest of the night, he made me feel so completely adored and cherished. It’s like he couldn’t get enough of me. He was even more confident in acting like a leader after this. I don’t think I can even put into words how much of a princess he made and has continued to make me feel. It’s lovely💕

It really affirmed to me that men just need us to trust them. I could’ve been critiquing his cooking or trying to boss him around like a mother, but instead I shutup and trusted him.

Very good! Yes I use this a lot with my fiancé. I do most of the cooking and I’m pretty good at it so when he does do some I never criticize and always praise him for it.

Guess what, 99% of the time it turns out perfectly fine even if I wouldn’t have chopped the vegetables that way or whatever thing he’s doing “wrong” and the other 1% you laugh about it and figure it out.

If you can learn this skill it’ll make a huge difference in both people’s happiness and closeness and now you have a great story to tell and next time he’ll know to flip the steak sooner.

Congrats! I know it’s hard not to criticize or micromanage but DON’T.

Exactly, so much success in just not saying anything. It’s even easier than stressing yourself out and trying to manage a grown man!

the hug was worth a lot after his mistake, and he wanted to make it up to you. That's sweet.

And a good thing you went for the hug!

[–]HalfheartedHart 17 points18 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

One man’s take: I bet he will remember that hug for a long time. It would have absolutely made my night. To have failed, in front of a date, at something I had tried so hard to prepare for, and to not be met with derision or ridicule, or even mysterious silence, but instead be hugged and affirmed, would absolutely melt my heart. I would probably remember that for the rest of my life.

Unironically, this ^

[–]talldrankofH2O[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I didn’t even think about the hug being worth so much, but that does make sense! It does help that we both have physical touch as our top love language

If you don't end up a love interest, you sure as hell seem to be a pleasant person.

Good chance he will remember the small things.

It is sooo difficult to shut up sometimes but I love when it pays off like this. So happy for you!!
