According to internet lore, the man must reciprocate with a wheel of cheese.

Unauthorized government cheese.

Ah refugee of reddit, well met.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Even just the fact that she has a garden is enough for me to consider marriage.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (3 children)

oh how the tables have turned

Andrew Johnson supporter, so the 19th century version of a MAGA.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

nothing more marriage material than a dude who believes in:

  • a man
  • a flag
  • a holiday

wow where are people with such deep philosophical beliefs now

Any idea what a "waterfall" is in this context?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

A waterfall is a type of cardigan.

She is a keeper!

Mine gave me eggs from her chickens. This is the moment you realize you've won the lottery.

There are some sweet people in the world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

Fresh eggs? Hot damn. One day I hope to have chickens!

Wow! The only thing missing is a meme!

Squinted at those tomatoes assuming it was Loss somehow....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Oh god man, get some help

[–] [email protected] 13 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Just a heads-up, those are sauce tomatoes. Thanks, Ted talk, etc

[–] [email protected] 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Fry the oinions with some garlic (salt it), cube the tomatoes and let it simmer for an hour or two and you got the worlds best pasta sauce.

Pro Tip: if you have some red wine left over (or one that isn't good for drinking), keep pouring some wine in when the liquid dries up, repeat until the wine is gone. tastes fucking great!

Just walk up to a girl and give her a nice rock you found on the beach. Magic might happen

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago

Can confirm. When i first met my fiance, i gave her a tea box that i filled with pretty rocks, shells, pinecones etc. that i had found and enjoyed. We spent basically every day together for a month, but i already had a move planned and after i moved we drifted apart. Saw eachother maybe once every couple years as friends, and we both had other relationships. Then 6 years later we both got out of long relationships at the same time, ended up reconnecting, and basically immediately moved in together. She still had the box. Now we've lived together for 5 years and are getting married soon. Girls like pretty things that you find on the ground, and they like it even more when those pretty things make you think of her.

I mean, it works in Stardew Valley, so why not real life?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

It's as simple as you make it.

Would work for me not gonna lie

Does she also have bees?

[–] [email protected] 103 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Same energy, equally as thoughtful, and both very nice gestures.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

A 12 kg cheese required anywhere from 150 to 200 liters of milk (same in quarts for the metric impaired). Just think of the amount of work it takes to milk all that, boil, curdle, culture, skim, and cure for what looks like at least 3 months. These things sell for several hundreds of dollars, and I'm not sure it's fair to the farmer. He is in love and went for the big guns.

He'd obviously read up on 17th century witchcraft. It is well known that you may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

it's a 17 century text, the main question is why did it take humanity so long to figure it out

I wonder what dating is like when you have so much money that you already have a garden. When I met my partner we both lived in shared houses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

People who are actually rich don't have food gardens, they have flower gardens at best. A roommate of mine had a (very bad) garden when I lived with him, and my now-wife had a small herb garden in an apartment. You can definitely have food gardens in shared houses

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I briefly stayed at a multi-millionaire's place. They did have a herb garden. Nice planters and automated watering systems. All provided and maintained by the groundskeeping company, of course. I sincerely doubt they ever planted anything, they just grabbed herbs when they needed them and instructed people what herbs they wanted.

I imagine richer people might similarly have food gardens maintained by waitstaff. Maybe not around their primary residence, but what if the desire to cosplay as or claim to be a farmer or plantation owner strikes them?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

That's fair. A bit of a different scale and intent than I was thinking, though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You can grow a really nice garden on a balcony or in windows. Tomatoes, cucumber and chili's are great to start with and then just experiment

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

How big are your windows that you can grow tomatoes in them?

When I was in a house share the windowsill was barely 10cm deep. There was no balcony.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Just a random search for example. You can usually read on the seed bag if it's a variety that works

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah our windows didn't have anything like that much space on them

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago

Unless you're from very rural area - then you should kinda have the garden by default.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I believe the correct thing to do is bring her some cheese. The nice stuff. Either a nicely aged cheddar or bocconcini. Add a potted basil plant to signal intent for a lasting relationship. T never fails
