Is it weird for me to buy my boyfriend food? I'll tell him I'll bring him chicken nuggets, or pizza and he'll say no, it's okay, you don't have to. Or if I try to order him food he'll say no I'll go get it myself.<br><br>I guess we're both introverted and like our own company but yes at times I want to care for him in the way that a partner should and give him something he likes and he'll say no. <br><br>It doesn't matter what it is, he'll always say the same thing. You don't have to give me anything, or, "You don't have to take care of me" and that's what I want to do, take care of him.<br><br>I asked him why and he said it's embarrassing to have a woman buy him food, but he's not in a financial crisis. He just doesn't like to let people do things for him.<br><br>How would you feel if you wanted to care for someone but they'd always say no? I'm a bit confused here cause obviously I feel embarrassed and I don't know what to think of it honestly. <br><br>He doesn't want to be looked at as caring or delicate and that's what I'd like to do. I want to show I care for him with food.
