I am 30F, newly out of a relationship, and trying to casually date.
ARFID makes this hard because well, dates are usually food-related. So far when a restaurant is brought up I mention I have to avoid restaurants for “health reasons” and I recommend something else. The other person is usually very nice about it, but I haven’t actually met anyone irl yet. Tomorrow will be my first time meeting someone. I just don’t really know what to say if they ask me directly what the health problem is.
My food stuff is pretty severe in that I am on a liquid diet right now. It’s basically a phobia of swallowing food. I’ve thought about lying, but that feels like a bad idea. I’m not sure how to approach this topic. I don’t want to overshare lol. What do you guys do?
