A big part of getting together is finding someone who is doing the same mating dance as you, rather than chasing after someone on a totally different wavelength.
I have to admit though, that stupid sandwich/kitchen joke everyone uses has gone a bit too far. I actually really like cooking, but apparently cooking is becoming a feminine thing.
