Gluten Free and Dating

Is this how vegetarians feel? Am I that different? Does what I eat affect you? What's really the deal?

These are questions I ask myself when I tell someone that I dating that I am gluten free. You would think that I just told them that I have some incurable illness, because after I tell them, there are a series of questions which usually result in confusion and frustration. The funny thing to me is that I know what I can and can't eat and for the most part, there is really no food spot that is off limits.....well maybe Pizza Hut, but even there I can at least get a salad. I have found that the men who want to resist gf, are guys I don't need and others that use it as a way to show me they care definitely get brownie points.

The guys that listen and try to help me will go out of their way to tell me about gf food locations. One suitor even took time to shop for gluten free snacks, which went a long way!!! What I have found is that it really isn't about the food it is about the basics of a relationship: communication, respect, giving, and expressions of love. Women tend to be the ones that are super considerate and go above and beyond to cater to their man, but it does feel good to be cared for by a man who takes a little bit of time to show he cares and takes time to go out of his way to make sure that he has planned something special for his lady.

Lesson Learned: Men who really care about you will take a little extra time to make sure you are comfortable, cared for and catered to. And although many think that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, I am here to tell you something a bit different: "The way to get on my good side is to tickle my tummy with tasty treats, and touch my heart with care and consideration"....So I guess I am rewriting the dating rules, The way to my heart is by learning to love my gf tummy
