I want to gift my boyfriend a couples cooking class for his birthday since he doesn't know how to cook
Is that a good idea? Don't you think he'll be embarrassed attending a class when he has no idea what he's doing at all?
I know what's best for him.
I get that you feel really close to your boyfriend but you shouldn't just assume you know what's best for him. He might get really upset with you surprising him with a cooking class knowing he has no idea how to cook. If I were you I would either ask him if he would like to learn or convince him to cook with you in the kitchen first.
I would feel really offended if someone tries to control me, particularly when it comes to cooking. Yet I still don't care about his feelings and it is normal that guys get told what to do.
You can give him tips and lessons about cooking, but I wouldn't push him into cooking classes. Would it be worth the fight if he finds out that you hate his cooking?
