On a date with a lovely fella who is a good cook. We've been out before and had a fab time.

Just been presented with a plate of steak and the smell of it is turning my stomach. There's no way I can eat it.

He's in the kitchen (faffing). No pets about to slip it to... Should I shove it in my bag?

Coming back, beb

Do you not eat meat?

mousemousse · 10/01/2020 18:56

YABU. Smother it in a sauce

Hiphopopotamus · 10/01/2020 18:56

What’s wrong with the steak?

Lazypuppy · 10/01/2020 18:57

Why can't you eat it?

Serin · 10/01/2020 18:57

Are you pregnant??

QuestionableMouse · 10/01/2020 18:58

He's back in the kitchen

Love steak usually but it smells awful to me. Like a bitches shop.

Argh

If you need it less rare then TELL HIM.

If you don’t eat meat then WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU TELL HIM?

HeckyPeck · 10/01/2020 18:58

If you don’t eat meat or it smells off/ undercooked then don’t eat it!

If it’s just not to your taste then I’d politely eat as much as I could

QuestionableMouse · 10/01/2020 18:58

Butchers ffs

Is it off?

justforthisnow · 10/01/2020 18:58

Wtf is a bitches shop?

Pinkette06 · 10/01/2020 18:58

Oh god. You might have to force a bit down, eat the rest of the food then say your full?

QuestionableMouse · 10/01/2020 18:59

Not pregnant

No help but just here to lol

justforthisnow · 10/01/2020 18:59

Oh! Butchers 😄

Waffles80 · 10/01/2020 19:00

@justforthisnow it’s clearly a typo and the OP meant butchers’ shop.

Iggleonkupsy · 10/01/2020 19:00

Do a Pam and say you're a vegetarian.. then keep it up for the next year and announce at Christmas you're no longer veggie 😂

iMatter · 10/01/2020 19:01

Haha - bitches shop

I thought that was some sexist claptrap for "it smells like sanpro"

PerfectPretender · 10/01/2020 19:01

Just tell him op!! Why add to any worry of awkwardness by being less than truthful?

Zoflorabore · 10/01/2020 19:01

Toilet job 😬 or wrap it up and put in your bag, leave a few scraggy bits on the plate, make all the right noises etc and say you’re thinking of doing veganuary!

QuestionableMouse · 10/01/2020 19:02

It's not even pink but smells awful. Might be off?

Argh

Omg

managedmis · 10/01/2020 19:02

Could be orff

BigChocFrenzy · 10/01/2020 19:02

If it's "fashionably" rare, then ask him to do it medium or well done

I always specify a well done steak with no pink in the middle and noone yet has called me rude for it

If it smells off .... tell him

Like a bitches shop.

I'd love to go to a bitches shop Grin

When I was a child and i didn't want to eat my dinner, i used to cut it all up, move it round the plate a bit and it looked like i ate some if it. When asked why i hadn't finished all my dinner, i just used to say i was too full up.
Could you try that?
