Posted: 8/20/2009 1:59:42 PM | guys always want to know when they are being given a hint, so....
ladies, if you had met a fellow, say at work or elsewhere, had known him for a few days a few weeks, etc. the two of you go out, you order up something to eat at an event. Or maybe you're eating in the cafeteria at work.
Would you offer him some, if you weren't interested in dating him? Or had any sort of interest? If it doesn't matter....do you really treat everyone that way? | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:02:13 PM | | Yes, I would offer food to a person I'm not interested in dating. Colleagues, classmates, friends - I share food with them all | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:05:57 PM | I bake just about every day and bring cookies, cakes and muffins to work almost every day.
It doesn't mean I want to date everyone in my office. It just means my Mom taught me to always offer people food when I have something to share. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:20:03 PM | | It's food. Offering it, not offering it....doesn't matter. It doesn't mean you do or don't like someone. Now, if they offered you sex while eating in the cafe, then you might think they had an interest in you. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:24:50 PM | | Sharing food has nothing to do with any special interest. To me, just means that the person that is sharing it with you is thoughtful and would rather share than let someone sit near them and not eat. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:29:45 PM | sharing food is a universal gesture of friendship and nothing more.
now, if she "cooked" something for you specifically and brought it in to lunch.. that would be something worth thinking about. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 2:57:20 PM | It's interesting the signs people come up with to ask about, looking for clues about whether a person is interested in them. This time it's offering a taste of their food, or whatever the specific scenario was in that love nest. I mean lunchroom.
It starts pretty early, I guess. Remember that kind of stuff from snacktime in like kidergarten? Maybe we never outgrow it. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 3:12:24 PM | Oh heck... I will share food with almost everyone..My friends and I do this all the time.
Now if I am interested in the guy I will offer to give him a bite off my fork or if possible off my fingers like hand feeding him... | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 3:53:21 PM | | I travel a lot for sales and on Mondays if I am suppose to be in the ofice for few days I stuck my office fridge. My co-workers know if they really want to take something they are more than welcome to do so. They usually never do though. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 4:03:49 PM | I offer food to anyone that is around me if I am eatting, I feel its rude to eat in front of someone and not at least offer.  | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 4:06:52 PM | It's perfectly innocent. She is merely being polite to a colleague... nothing about the gesture as you've described it indicates any romantic or sexual interest in you.
However, that being said... if you met her in a club down in old Soho and she's offering you a sip of some oddly cola-tasting champagne AND her name is Lola... watch out! It's a trap! | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 4:25:51 PM | You bring up an interesting point. I love to cook and I use to always offer to cook dinner for a guy if we had been dating a while. One day a guy pulled me aside and said never ever cook dinner for another date. It scares the heck out of them because they think you are trying to show them you would make a good wife.
How sad that I can't cook a guy a great meal just for the sake of eating. Cooking you a meal does not mean I want to marry you. It only means I like to cook, I enjoy your company and I'm trying to be considerate enough so you don't have to constantly feel obligated to pick up the tab at a nice restaurant. | |

We need to post about this in Ask-A-Guy and see if other guys think that way too if a woman cooks for him. No risk to me, btw, if they do--I can't cook.
And what would be the guy version of that? Washing a woman's car? Mowing her lawn? | |

Bringing something in just for you - interest. | |

Posted: 8/20/2009 9:03:11 PM | | I offer friends/acquaintances food, as well as dates that I am interested in - but I am on a date with a guy and I am just not feeling it, I probably won't offer him food. I guess I think if I do he will get the wrong idea. | |

Posted: 8/21/2009 1:33:43 AM | I ended a date saying I wasn't interested in the guy but he still gave me the ferrerro rocher choccies he had bought...sweet he even thought of that.
Um as for food, yeah consensus is in. Majority rule on this occasion. From your scenario. Nope, means zip. I see it as friend sharing foodstuffs, if she played footsies with you under the lunchroom table, that's differeeent. | |
