He says, "I don't care. Whatever." Do you think it would be sporting to set a plate of rocks and twigs in front of him some night?

No....but you should sit him down for a serious talk about this (and probably alot of other issues). He needs to know that part of being a man is being the leader in relationships. Most women want the man to make the decision but to make the decision in such a way that takes care of them. It's important for the man to know what his woman likes. In this example, the correct answer is, "Let's go to restaurant ____" that he knows serves food you like. Bonus points for suggesting a new restaurant that he knows you will probably enjoy because he knows you so well.
Saying, whatever. Or some other version of you choose, is unattractive wussy behavior. At most, he should offer up the illusion of choice "Which of these 3 restaurants (all of which I know you like) would you enjoy going to tonight, honey". Only occassionally should he leave the decision up to you....especially if you have reason or desire to go to try some specific new place.
A much more advanced technique a man can use is some version of leading a woman into intimacy with everyday issues like this. For example, he might suggest a trip to the grocery store. You shop together for things you might like, making a date of it. The important point is it is something you do together. You take the stuff home and prepare the meal together as an intimate, shared moment. You might go so far as to feed each other sensually, after the meal is prepared.
It is imporant for a man to get into the habit and develop the skill of leading his woman on shared adventures like this. Sadly, most people don't know this. You would be well served to clue him in.

I mean, yeah, that's funny and all... but why not just take the initiative and make the meal that you want. RECIPEZAAR has a kabillion recipes. I am a guy that cooks, so I have more of an opinion of what to eat. If your BF doesn't cook, he may not feel comfortable telling you what to cook. It might make him feel worse if you do the twigs and rocks thing. You might invite him into the kitchen to do a romantic dinner together. just a thot.

It would be hilarious. If he doesn't want to eat what you made, allow him to take you out to eat.
Reality, I've found that if you kinda go by the weather,ie: don't cook heavy hot things in 98 degree heat. Wraps are good, so is mexican and chinese food. Winter is time to break out the stews and breadmaker. What to eat has puzzled humankind since Eve and the apple tree, give BF a choice between two things YOU feeel like making. Good luck.

Do it! I say the same thing too, and I can't imagine what I would do if Mrs Codrock ever did that.
I think I would laugh a lot. But then I would be hungry and want my dinner, so keep something in reserve for afterwards.

Sure, if he has a sense of humor; or, you could serve him a dish of Meow Mix or Puppy Chow...but if you try that one, have something good waiting in the wings. Personally, I think I'd quit asking and just fix whatever you are in the mood to cook; if he's hungry, he'll eat it (remember, men are like small children, the fewer choices we give them the easier they are to deal with).

my wife used to ask me the same thing every day and i tell her the same thing.....one day i told her that at work i am in charge of everything and some times i really not care what we have for dinner ... so we came up with a plan that we would take turns on what was for dinner and it has worked for ten years now.

my husband used to do this, it drove me crazy. so, one day i couldn't take it any more and he said "i don't care, whatever you want" so i made broiled fish, cucumber and onion salad with tomatoes, corn, and home made mashed potatoes. ALL things he hates. so, when he began to complain about how i made everything he hated for dinner i suggested that next time he actually answer my question. we only have this problem once in a while now. the same thing used to happen when we would go out. where do you want to go? i don't care, wherever you want.........so i picked chinese every time. he hates chinese. now he makes suggestions.

haha that is too funny, My hubby does the same thing "i dont know" blah blah, one time i jokingly offered to make something knew he wouldn't want to have for dinner...like grilled cheese and tomato soup (he's a meat and potatos boy) and he didn't think i was serious, he learned then that he needs to offer up a suggestion every now and then!

Yes that would be wuite funny but make sure to have a real meal to follow. Maybe he'll get the picture. Maybe not. What would be even better is to have a meal ready and waiting................... just for you.
