Oh God help. On a date and can't eat the food (lighthearted!!)

[QuestionableMouse]

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

Have you tasted it yet OP?

Ugh, philistine probably cooked it in 'vegetable' oil 🤮🤢

Perhaps she's dead?

Maybe he’s a crap cook?

She's now having to eat it

Omg that wasn't fun at all

Literally put it in my mouth and knew I was going to vomit. Had to race to the loo ☹️

I hate being sick and it always makes me cry so he was panicking because I was crying and he didn't know what was going on.

I admit the steak smelled awful to me (through snotty tears) and he said he thought so too but because I hadn't said anything thought it was just him.

This will make a funny story in time to come!

So he cooked potentially gone off meat as a special date meal and was waiting for you to guess??

Tell him he needs to stump up for a decent takeaway.

You can bond over this!

Have you been to the Sistine chapel recently?

LOL this is going to be a great story for the grandkids!

I would ask him where he bought it. If super fancy butchers/Harrods foodhall I would assume it was aged or summats and me too philistine to appreciate. If aldi/bloke in a van in a carpark I would say I wasn't sure about the smell. Couldn't eat it though. If it gives you the shits you won't want to be shagging later - so best be honest

Gosh, that's quite the reaction!

This will make for a funny story

Oh, poor both of you! I hope you're feeling better now and have ordered a take-away!

You must really like him to even try it if it smelt off! hope you're enjoying a takeaway now!

So he cooked rancid steak that smelled rancid but presented it to you instead of mentioning it, you go to eat in instead of mentioning it - I think you guys may have some shared issues with communication!!

Hope you feel better soon..

Honestly your an adult woman ffs, why did you eat something that didn’t smell right. You have a mouth all you had to do was say something

Well this date is ruined now you’ve thrown up (after just a mouthful?) and cried, so just go home.......

Also it’s very ill mannered to be on your phone when someone has cooked a meal and then again to inform mumsnet you’ve been sick. Weird all round really

Bond over it. Maybe it will be a wedding anecdote in a few years 😂

@TimeForPlentyIn2020

I've always cried after throwing up, ever since I was a baby apparently.

He's gone off to the shop for a loaf of bread so he can make toast.

Also I wasn't on my phone in front of him more than once. He is a faffer and kept going into the kitchen to do things so I was sneaking on my phone then.

sounds as if a conversation with him would have been more useful than spending the evening posting here.

So over the top OP. Could literally have just said ' sorry but the meat smells a little off' or 'sorry but I'm feeling a little unwell and can't stomach a steak'. Surely better than the end result of looking a bit like you aren't in your right mind sobbing and vomiting .

Stuff like this never makes sense, surely if you like someone or want a relationship with them you need to actually be able to be open and honest and feel comfortable having conversations. If the blimmin beef can't be spoken about then good luck to you both tbh.
