Cooking has all kinds of major advantages.

"Hey, I've got a great idea. I've been dying to cook this great pasta dish that I love. Why don't you come over here, and I'll make you dinner..."

It costs less money, you get to eat something you like, it often takes less time, you don't have to try to get a woman to come back to your house (she's already there), it's romantic, it shows that you have taste... and the list just goes on.

Get yourself an unusual apron (I have a cow print one) and get yourself a cookbook or two (or find a few good recipes on the Internet).

Things like pasta are always easy, and they go well with wine and candles... just put her on the couch with a glass of wine and a funny 'chick flick'... or have her keep you company on a stool in the kitchen.

Oh, and get a few chocolate covered strawberries for dessert... perfect feed material. (Bonus if you make them yourself... even if they don't turn out perfect, you get MAJOR points.)
