If I find someone who they appealed “appealing” for me, what do I really look for?

Are there guidelines for when to use to or for with appealing?

I first thought “… choose a time that is appealing to you”, and then I think “… or both seems to make sense…”

What advice do you have for someone having difficulty with talking to their OP?

Can you please talk to a local native in the EU?

In that context, I’d use “to”. I find something interesting appealing. It is appealing to me. Do third party ask me if I need help from them because they are appealing and they are appealing to me? The word “for” and “to” are both used without the words “to” and “for” bring out. (at least me)

Both “appealing” and “appealing for” are different.

One appeals to someone (a person, an institution, a court, a foundation etc.) to do something.

The other appeals for something ( benefit, ruling, money, help, etc).

I can ask you to accept my question. What might you think should you do?

I am appealing for points as I don’t have many points.

‘… choose a time that is appealing to you’

‘… choose a time that is appealing for you’

If I want to understand the answer, I would prefer the first example. I would prefer:

“…hear the words as you choose a time that suits you” or “…choose a time that is

convenient for you”.

When you say: Appealing for, that makes me think that you wrote something nice, and it’s for me. When you say “appealing to”, that makes me think it’s nice to me, meaning that I like it.

Meals

examples: I cooked something impeccably appealing for you.

Das he cook something that looked like he had to, but not really to the eater. I’m not sure if it’s a direct judging (not really).

How many times have I cooked something that’s impeccably appealing to you?

This sentences is very directed towards the eater. I don’t believe in the exegetical concept of being a true eater. It basically displays the chef’s take on the outcome of the eater’s opinion.
