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.
Does she stink?
Maybe she’s poisoning you to get even for not asking her out earlier.
Is this one of those “red flags” people keep talking about?
haha maybe
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.
haha I’m too poor for therapy
Maybe try a cannabis edible about an hour before you’re planning to eat? Offer her one too
Perfume?
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.
But babe, we have to go out tonight. It’s for science!
Isolating variables like this is so cool!
yeah good idea honestly
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.
I hope that’s it and it goes away on. its own
yeah we’ve liked eachother for two years now, but I was too dense to realized she liked me back and she was too shy to say anything lol
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.
Studio audience: OOOOOOOO!!!
Pregante.
am I gregnant?
don’t think that’s a possibility currently
very interesting tho
Are you just really nervous about being on a date?
I don’t think so? but that could be a factor I suppose
Your brain has a mind of its own!
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?
not really, she came over once and we ate like polish crepes i made, and that was fine, but not much of a meal, no
I don’t have an answer, but congrats on being one of the few to break that friendship zone barrier
Try cooking dinner at home together and see if it happens.
Are you reacting to her perfume? Maybe she didn’t put it on when you were just friends.
no she definetly did, same one as always, and its not strong
also that would make me nauseous in the car as well, not just when eating
