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
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!
“You’re not my sidechick, you’re my control condition!”
Isolating variables like this is so cool!
unit testing eating?
Are you just really nervous about being on a date?
It’s cold and anxiety attack. Talk to a therapist about it.
That does not sound like an anxiety attack.
Nausea is a common symptom. Maybe you haven’t experienced it but it doesn’t mean it’s not a symptom for others.
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!!!
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?
Anxiety?
If that tiny idiot of an amygdala in your brain thinks you’re in danger then nausea can be a symptom.
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.
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?
Allergies maybe? Most women use special makeup for dates it could be something she’s wearing like lipstick. It could be something in the food like peanuts or olive oil.
Perfume?
Try cooking dinner at home together and see if it happens.
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.
Are you reacting to her perfume? Maybe she didn’t put it on when you were just friends.
probably due to inflation and the price increase 🤷🏻
Does she chew with her mouth open?
I have a similar issue sometimes. I feel like I get overstimulated by smells in restaurants… Also I’m lazy so I eat boring food at home, so maybe the variety contributes to the nausea.
Also I’m celiac, which definitely doesn’t help.
If this is real, it’s absolutely fascinating :)
Restaurants don’t serve food. They serve drugs that are intended to hook you and make you come back, not nourish you and keep you healthy. It could just be the cumulative effect. People who eat poorly get worse and worse over time.
I think every large establishment that serves food to the public should be required to serve food that a person could eat FOR EVERY MEAL and be healthy.
I’ve worked in quite a few restaurants, and although they were full of drugs, the drugs were usually in the cooks, NOT the food.
Lol yea yea and chemtrails are actually a secret government project for mind control
They’re designed to make people look up
Sir, you do not have a worthy username to be saying crazy things on the internet. That’s MY thing! And if anything, you gotta have drugs! Do you know what this world would come to if Danny DeVito ever ran out of cocaine??? He would get all oiled up, and we’d all have to look at his butthole, as Chyrol Crow sang dongs about irony. Because WE were the buttholes all along!
See? THAT’S how it’s done! Now go see my post about why Burger King should start advertising nuts on pornhub.
Beautifully done, as always. Don’t think I didn’t see all that chaos-sowing bait in there!
What shape is the Earth according to you?
At this point, I feel like I’m not going too far out on a limb if I say turd-shaped.
Yup restaurant food is drugs and it’s turning the fricken frogs GAY
Sir, this is a Wendy’s (so knock that shit off you’re making the other customers nervous)
You’ve known each other for 3 years? Wow that’s cool! How long did you know you liked her?
I don’t have an answer, but congrats on being one of the few to break that friendship zone barrier
Placebo effect?
Maybe you got a touch of food poisoning one of the first times and now you subconsciously associate it with date nights?
Does she stink?
Ok, that helps. Still I think to look at what happens just before might help.

Sounds like anxiety. Mild nausea and loss of appetite are something that I deal with on a daily basis. If you are happy, then it could just be nervous excitement, like having butterflies in your stomach.

Yeah, OP didn’t say how long they’d been together but if it’s a new relationship after 3 years of being friends, especially if they’re young and/or there’s been lingering feelings for some time before becoming “official”, then anxiety and nervous excitement is likely to be high!
