white123 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I think I made my point, is it really bad or is there any chance..? thanks for your openly answers...
Poppy fields Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Yes, but I probably wouldn't cook for him unless we got serious.
backinthedatinggame Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I would date someone with food allergies, but I'm biased. I have celiac disease myself. You might miss an opportunity to get to know a really wonderful person just because you "don't want to be bothered" with food allergies. Plus, you might learn a lot! 1
bowsandhearts Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 If i really liked him that type of thing wouldnt matter. I dont care if he has many food allergies. If i like him then i ...... Like him and can see beyond his allergys 1
KatZee Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I mean if they were mild food allergies, probably. My ex was like that. He was such a pain in the a.ss with his food, and more than half of his family and friends thought he was making it up. I was pretty much the only one that accommodated him with food issues. He would get like an itchy throat. I do however know a girl who's deathly allergic to all nuts. Can't kiss someone who's eaten them, or even be around the odor. I wouldn't even mess with that s.hit. I eat nuts all the time and I'd be terrified all the time that I'd wind up killing the poor guy.
MsSmurf Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Not a second time. The first time I was trying to be open minded because I really liked him, but it just created so many hassles. His diet was so limited that I couldn't cook for him and we couldn't go out to eat. Even the vapors of certain foods cooking created reactions for him. I couldn't imagine ever being able to travel and enjoy other cultures with such limits. Plus food is very important in my family and I just couldn't see how he'd be able to really feel comfortable and fit in if my relatives felt so insulted by his not being able to eat anything.
Fondue Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I always thought this was a strange thing to think about until very recently. Went on a first date with a cute woman. We started to discuss food. Almost every single item of food I named, she had an allergy to. Or at least an ingredient that was very much part of that dish. It was incredible. This woman was allergic to pretty much everything. I love food. It was very much a turn off. I can't imagine myself having to dance around a food menu with a person because of allergies. It is sad. I feel awful for her. So due to her "handicap," I decided not to see her again after that.
darkmoon Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 if it was woven into a healthy slimming regime, yes
tbf Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 How many is many? Cooking is a hobby. So is fine dining. If he can only eat poached chicken breast and plain rice for every meal, then the limitations would be too great to want anything long-term.
january2011 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Food allergies rather than food intolerances? How severe is it? Can he be in the presence of the food in question? Or must it be avoided at all costs in case he inhales it and goes into anaphylactic shock? If his diet is so limited that it would require a major lifestyle change should we live together, then I don't see how the relationship could be sustainable. Though admittedly, love might conquer all.
