Opinions??

So this guy I'm dating really likes the idea of me cooking for him. He's a pretty good cook himself (and he's cooked for me) but I've never made anything from scratch by myself. I'm nervous. But why do you think he wants me to cook for him so badly? (We've been dating for about 2 1/2 months now.) I mean I'm willing to at least try but this topic is always coming up (but not in a sexist way). So I'm just wondering why.
