Let's say a guy and a girl went to dinner. They both wanted dessert, but the guy only had enough money for one dessert, and the girl didn't have enough room for a whole dessert to herself anyway, so they both agreed to share. Of the choices, there was traditional chocolate cake with chocolate icing as well as dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing. To the guy, chocolate was chocolate. Both choices were chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Both choices were fine with him. But the girl was a little pickier. She had to have the dark chocolate. Sure, chocolate was chocolate, but they weren't the same to her. She preferred the dark chocolate. She would even go as far as to say that the dark chocolate was the best choice. He didn't have a preference, but she did. And since they were going to share, what would make the most sense for the guy to order?

The guy should order what the girl wants even if he has a preference...b/c it's a date and that's what good guys do! :)
since chocolate is chocolate to him anyway, he should have gone with the choice of the person who did have a preference. let me guess...he didn't?
As of the present, you guessed it. (sigh.)
I am confused!!! LOL Of course he would just get what the girl wants since he doesn't care anyways!?!?! RIGHT?!?! OMW!!! That slice of cake looks REALLY good!!!
Mary, exactly the point I am trying to make. If it's such a minute difference to him anyway, why doesn't he just suck it up and order the dark chocolate? (sigh.)
Why isn't anyone asking the important question here? Who did you have chocolate cake with???
To continue with my analogy, the truth is that I didn't even have chocolate cake. I'm still wondering what type of chocolate cake he's going to order. lol.
