I hope you told her this.
Because, you see, when it comes to how the male mind works, we aren't psychic. We're psychic about a great many things, but that ain't one of 'em.
Typically, if we do something designed to please you, like say, spending time in the kitchen to prepare food for you that is better than the bowl of cold cereal you'd be eating otherwise, some acknowledgement of our efforts would be nice. Otherwise, how are we to know that we did good and should repeat the process in the future?
And for the record, having to ask you if it tastes good or if you like it is pretty much the same thing as having to ask if we look nice or if you love us.
