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

    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

          I mean a little, but ive got the money. and she pays half the time and those times aren’t any better so I don’t think its that. I also generally don’t think about money all that much.

        My husband would get wild upset stomachs before we went out on a date. His aunt would tease him that he was allergic to me. It was anxiety.

        I could spend the whole weekend with him in his apartment, and he’d feel fine. It only happened before we planned to go out to dinner specifically. Lunch was nbd to his brain.

          interesting. now that I think about it the less fancy the place the more likely I’ll be okay I think? but imma start taking notes

          but yeah that’s probably what it is

            Really think about what you are expecting of yourself at times like that. Sometimes nice restaurants make me feel pressured to have a good time or otherwise “fit in” with the other people eating there.

            Money is a serious thing. If your relationship is going to make your financial life unsustainable, that needs resolving.
