7 Delicious Ways to Win His Heart Through His Stomach

1. Pick the Places

If you can’t turn on a stove without burning yourself, don’t worry. There are still food-related ways to win his heart without adorning an apron. People like to eat, but it doesn’t matter where the food comes from, as long as it’s tasty. If you buy take-out that he ends up loving, he’ll be impressed by your good taste. Take him to the best restaurant in the city, and he’ll be happy with you, even though you didn’t whip up the dish yourself.

2. Store Snacks

Keep snacks in your pocketbook, so you can share food when you get bored. Whether you’re waiting on line together at the DMV or sitting together in class, he’ll be thankful for the distraction. Having food handy is never a bad thing. You never know when the urge to eat will sneak up on you. When it does, you’ll be prepared, and he’ll be thrilled. Being prepared with snacks is one of those subtle tricks for anyone who's awful at flirting; it shows you’re thoughtful without being too over-the-top.

3. Try It Together

As long as you keep things lighthearted, cooking together is romantic. You can spoon feed him the ingredients or let him lick batter off your finger. If you’re like couples in the movies, and don’t care about ruining the kitchen, you can playfully throw flour at each other. Even if the finished product is disgusting, at least you two had fun creating it. To make it even more special, you could try a recipe from a professional site like AllRecipes or Food Network to ensure a tasty result.

4. Have Him Watch

Keep him in the kitchen with you while you cook something up for him. You can talk about your day, and he’ll get to see how skilled you are with your hands. It’s always impressive to watch someone do something that they’re good at doing. If you’re one of the lucky ones that have the gift of cooking, strut your stuff for him. It's a great way to build chemistry, much like the lovely tips for a second date that focus on creating memorable shared experiences.

5. Come Prepared

When you go to a party, you always bring dessert to contribute. If you’re invited to watch the game with your man’s friends, bring some food along. It doesn’t matter if you made it or if you bought it from a box. His pals will just be happy to have something to munch on. It’s a simple way to get people to like you. It’s nothing special, but it does the trick. Bringing a crowd-pleasing dish is a guaranteed way to make a great impression on the people he cares about most.

6. Surprise Snacks

Stop by his work to leave him a little treat. Whether or not you made it, he’ll be glad that you thought about him, and took time out of your day to come visit him. You don’t have to do this constantly, but it’s nice every once in a while. If you’re lucky, he’ll return the favor. For a little extra inspiration on what to bring, you might browse Eater for the latest trending treats in your area to find something truly unique.

7. Play a Game

When you get bored, play a taste testing game. Sit him down, blindfold him, and feed him different candies and snacks. Have him guess what they are, and see how many he can get correct. If you’re nice, you’ll only feed him his favorite treats. This is a fun and playful way to explore new flavors together while keeping the mood light and romantic.
