I cook for one most of the time and love to cook, but I invite people over so I can cook for them all of the time, I love to cook for people or bake I love to bake too.
I've also dated someone who is a very picky eater. He'd always ask me where I wanted to go for dinner, but it didn't really matter because he wouldn't eat half the foods I do and we would end up somewhere he could buy a plain cheeseburger or pork fried rice.

I like aspects of cooking for myself and dislike others. It would be much nicer to have at least one more to cook for so that I don't have to halve every recipe...which is beginning to annoying the hell out of me because I wind up with all the ingredients to make it again but often times I don't want to as the half lasts for 3 meals or so already.
Ideally I wish I were cooking for a (my) family so that I could cook every day but I would still get help with it and the dishes but I would also be able to eat a wide variety of foods. It's hard to eat very healthy when eating for one without wasting ingredients. I will always wind up making too much of something or eat with friends or forget to bring my food to work and I'll cook a week after making my first dish then my ingredients are all falling apart.
I think honestly the factor most causing me to have so many problems cooking by myself is the break room at my work is worthless. It's not even a break from work because it's where the managers offices are. If you want to have a chill quiet break people will still try and talk to you, etc...but I don't like eating in there so I don't bring food to work often and all my above problems are amplified! lol

The best part about cooking for one is I can make chicken every night and no one bitches about eating the same thing every night.
I'm gonna go make some chicken.

That is so very true. I never thought about that before.

I'm the same way, I have carnitas 3-4 times a week now thanks to Gabba's out-fucking-standing-ly delicious recipes.
Even Messkins don't eat this many tacos, but nobody can complain.
