Sometimes I pretend I don’t know what I want…

I mean sometimes I have to beat him at his own game. So I don’t even bother to try to think I just ask what he wants to eat. I’m not picky so it’s always something I wouldn’t even think of and enjoy. Try it out!

... Read moreSometimes, in relationships, the little playful games can actually bring couples closer and introduce a refreshing dynamic to everyday routines such as deciding what to eat. When someone pretends they don’t know what they want to eat, it’s not about indecision but rather about inviting their partner to express their cravings openly. This subtle way of asking allows their partner to take the lead and feel valued, while also opening the door for trying new dishes that might never have been considered before. This approach can break the monotony of always choosing the same meals or relying on habitual preferences. It encourages spontaneity and adds a fun element to dining decisions. Furthermore, it builds communication and understanding between partners by revealing what each person’s current tastes and moods might be. Over time, it can help couples learn about each other’s evolving preferences and create shared culinary experiences. For those who aren’t picky eaters, this method also means expanding their palate and embracing surprising choices that their partner might enjoy. It fosters a spirit of openness and adventure in food, which can translate into other areas of the relationship where flexibility and compromise are essential. Incorporating this playful strategy often leads to discovering new favorite meals and making dining not just a necessity but an opportunity for connection and mutual enjoyment. So, if you’re faced with the choice of what to eat, sometimes pretending you don’t know what you want and simply asking your partner can be a delightful way to beat the usual game and enjoy unexpected treats together.

yes, but he always picks my favorite instead of his... so sometimes I ask him to take me to his favorite restaurant instead 😂

I do this all the time. I have favorites but he always asks what I want to so I just ask him to chose for me so he can have what he’s really craving that time

A person sits on a blue towel on a sandy beach, looking out at the water, with a book beside them. The image features the title 'POSE IDEAS SHY PEOPLE EDITION' against a cloudy sky.

Pose Ideas: Shy Edition 🙈
When it comes to taking pictures sometimes you don’t feel like showing your face. Or maybe you’re just starting out taking pictures and you’re still gaining the confidence to stand in front of a camera I have gone through many stages of taking photos and some of my favorites are the shy poses.
