I've had dinner and/or drinks with gentlemen and never asked for anything for "my time" during the meal. I never understood the concept of a guy paying to watch a lady eat, unless that is some new fetish I don't know about!
I have cooked meals for my gentlemen too, many times. Some of my reviews reflect that. From grilled cheese and soup, to full on dinners. I enjoy cooking and baking. From the clean plates after, I must be good at that too!
