Tonight, on First Dates…

By Anonymous - 14/02/2023 22:00

Today, I took my date to a restaurant but I had no idea how picky of an eater she is. Our waiter had to practically use 3 pages in his notebook just to write down all her special requests for this single meal. By the end, I could see he really wanted to ask if she was being serious or taking the piss. FML

I don't care if she can suck-start a Harley. Someone who is already annoying the shit out of you on a first date is a definite 'Nope'.

I hope you didn't give her a good-night kiss at the end of the date. Her mouth probably held the bodily fluids of the waiter and most of the kitchen staff.

Unfortunately some people are just nuts and some people have real food allergies or sensitivities… My son was allergic to cows milk when he was an infant - most dairy products actually made him throw up as an infant. Eventually he grew out of it, but his food preferences were influenced by his early allergies… I understand it was embarrassing and likely pointless the degree your date went to about her food at the restaurant. But you weren’t the cook nor responsible for her instructions so it wasn’t really your problem (at this point). But I would agree that numerous food “sensitivities” are not exactly a plus in a potential mate. But I wouldn’t make that a “make it or break it” issue in itself.

yeah at that point I would have probably told her flat out that if she needs that many changes to a dish, she needs to just order one she likes. I'm a server I don't tolerate that shit

"I would like a dozen oysters and a plate of noodles with margarine, please. No butter, I am lactose intolerant. And a side of steamed carrots. Yes, all served together."

I’d make that departing trip to the facilities.
