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

Maybe he put something in it and is trying to poison you, do you feel woozy?

I'm not sure that he's a good cook after all!

Someone said “bitches shop” rather than “butchers shop”. I had visions of a shop full of nasty shop assistants.

Why do people keep telling the op to get off her phone? She’s repeatedly said she’s only gone on it when he’s been in the kitchen cooking, and now she’s on it while he’s at the shop. Is she meant to sit there twiddling her thumbs?

Hope everything’s ok, OP.

I have visions of you both snuggled up on the sofa eating yummy hot buttered toast.

If the relationship continues, this’ll be one of those memories you’ll always laugh about together (although it may have ruined your love of steak).

I have visions of you both snuggled up on the sofa eating yummy hot buttered toast. Now I might vomit.

Toast and a pregnancy test. 🤣

She lied to him and told him she was helping a Uni friend, while commentating on him taking a bite of his dinner...

Really? I have visions of snotty toast, awkward silences and no repeat date, but then I am a cynical twat.

OP he's probs not a good cook!

Why do people keep telling the op to get off her phone?
Because, you know, she could be having a conversation with the person who's cooking for her? It's just manners. I'd be fucking appalled if I had someone round for a date, and they went on their phone every time my back was turned.
That said, I'm older now, and long out of the dating scene, so maybe it's different now

Snuggled up on the sofa eating yummy hot buttered toast? FFS, heard it all now.
And, a Classics nomination? I really don't want to be one of those posters, but what the fuck is going on with this place lately? Classics??

@Rabblemum it makes sense now

I was on my phone for the grand total of maybe two minutes, while he was in the kitchen. I'm more than capable of holding a conversation while typing a quick message.

Glad some people have backed me up on the crying after vomiting. I have no control over it... It just happens. Its not like I planned on chucking my guts up.

He's eating his...Going in for a bite of mine

So he was eating his in the kitchen while you were posting that?

You're getting an unreasonably rough time of it on here OP.

I'm a gobshite but if it was an early date with a man I liked I wouldn't have said as anything either.

Text him and tell him to bring ice cream and fudge sauce and you're the dessert

Have you got a tummy bug, OP? If one bite of steak made you vomit, and then you can't face Chinese... Don't worry, I used to cry after vomiting too. I don't see why you're getting so much stick over it!

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.

Oh dear.

(lighthearted!!)

Sounds it!

OP how are you getting home? Just asking

"smells like a bitches shop" is my new favourite saying.

Why are people giving OP a hard time over something so trivial and light hearted? FFS. Mumsnet can be so stern at times

I think Mumsnet Classics grin

I think that was what OP was waiting for.

Agree with PP that leaking tears while/after being sick is normal.
It's not "Wahh! I'm sad" crying.
That's something different.

This was quite amusing to read while I can't sleep, but: "B-. Could do better".

If it's all true, your manners are shocking, OP, and you seem to have very little sense. You could have just asked him - you know, the person IRL in the same room - if he thought it smelled off.

Otherwise, what's to gain by posting on MN rather than messaging a friend if you must be on your phone while on a date. "Look! The majority of people on MN think I'm NBU!" might not be a good thing to say if you don't want him to think you're a loon.

Lob it out the window?. Don't fall into the trap that woman did with the poo out of a window on a date.
