Ok, so just got finished having lunch with my boyfriend, whom I also live with. He said that he was craving cheese dip. Easy enough, so I said I'd make him some for when he got home from work. He said no, that he didn't want me to. I say why and he just does the I don't know thing. I don't get it. This isn't the first time it has happened. All the time. What is his deal?

Have you ever cooked for him? If so he may not like your cooking. If not it's time to have a sit down and actually talk to him.. Tell him the I don't know is not good enough!

He might be a very picky eater and feels that what you will make at home just wont taste the same as the pre-packaged or store cheese.
Or he may genuinely feel that it would be a big chore for you to make the food.
Definitely the only way you're going to find out why he won't let you cook for him is to directly ask him.
Don't assume it's a negative reason or something you did.

What all have you cooked for him before? Has he always turned down your cooking? Or just sometimes? You need to ask him why he never wants you to cook and if he says he doesn't like it don't get mad I had that problem with my husband before we were married but he was nice enough to tell me or show me or have someone in family always help me to do it the right way and believe me I am still learning after almost 7 years of being with him. Just keep trying you will get it in time if he don't like it too bad you can eat it yourself hehe more for you!

Well, sounds strange for other guys do like their partners to cook for them. Have you ask the reason for such. Maybe he has a reason not to get you tired or give you worries. Whatever it is, he got the reasons and it is in you if it is good justification or not.

I can not say what your man is thinking, but I can tell you my experience with my man. He tells me not to cook when I am stressed or I am exhausted. I cook all the time and I love to cook, but there are times when I just can not and he knows it. But he loves the fact that I will have something great made for him when he is walking in the door. It could be that he is thinking of you and not wanting to put you out of your way. Or it could be that he does not want you to cook for him because he is unsure of your cooking. I hope this helps, Good Luck!
