every time we go out to eat, I take like two bites and feel like throwing up, and I’m not one to get nauseous easily. this only started when we started dating (wed been best friends for 3 years or so up until that)

its not new food, I’ve been to these places many times before

    Maybe there’s something you need to get off your chest. Maybe you feel like you’re not being true to yourself.

    If you feel like something needs to change in your relationship, better to put it out there and work through it than keep it hidden.

    Maybe she’s poisoning you to get even for not asking her out earlier.

    Anxiety?

    If that tiny idiot of an amygdala in your brain thinks you’re in danger then nausea can be a symptom.

    Anxiety is a possibility, even if you aren’t actively feeling it. This is a good opportunity to seek help from a professional, even if it’s nothing related to that.

    Go to the same restaurants at the same time under the same conditions (i.e. how recently you ate another meal, day of the week, the weather, etc.) but with a different person and see if you still feel ill. Vary the conditions until you find one that correlates with your illness. Then try altering that condition.

    If you feel ill under all conditions then see a doctor. In fact it might be good to make a doctor appointment anyway.

    Placebo effect?
    Maybe you got a touch of food poisoning one of the first times and now you subconsciously associate it with date nights?

    This happened to me as well. I’d take a few bites of a meal and feel full/ nauseous; Sometimes even throw up. It went away after maybe 6 months of dating and we joke about it now 12 years later.

    We chalked it up to nerves, but no one can tell for sure. Best of luck OP! Guessing you really like this person.

    It’s because you’re pregnant.

    But on all seriousness, some say that there are cases when the would-be-father also feels nauseous with food when the girl gets pregnant.

    Maybe she’s poisoning you just a tiny bit at a time. Kidding, but have you guys eaten a meal at home together without you feeling sick?

    I don’t have an answer, but congrats on being one of the few to break that friendship zone barrier
