Ok, so I took some of your advice and decided to tell C. aka picky eater that it was too soon for us to meet at eachothers houses and I felt a little uncomfortable having him over for dinner this early in the relationship but that I would still love to hang out with him. He was totally understanding and glad I told him instead of making up a lie.

So instead, tonight we went bowling and had dinner at the bowling alley. I had tons of fun with him! He was super sweet and even a little flirtatous tonight and he asked me to do something with him this weekend when the night was done. I see some potential here and I'm hoping that I will just learn to be ok with his picky eating habits and find a work around. I feel stupid for that being an issue for me. That said, I definitely plan to take it slow and see where this goes, and I also think I may date a couple other people that I've been talking to. But, huge bounus points for C. tonight and a great date.

p.s. The cop definitely ghosted on me after Sat. night. I haven't heard a thing from him since he blew me off and I told him I was upset. oh well I guess. I'm a little disapointed, but better to find out now that he isn't interested rather then months into it. I'm kinda thinking that it must have been mostly physical for him and he didn't want a true relationship from me. Thats something I'm not going to rush into again with these other guys.

Yeah, oddly enough the husband of the friend I mentioned that eats horribly and has made her go off her diet and gain weight with his picky and bad eating habit hates cheese too. I'm the same way, how in the world can someone NOT like cheese??? He also doesn't like tomatoes and bread or something crazy so he doesn't like pizza. What he does like is everything fast food and deep fried and in huge portions so that's where the problem comes in!

To the OP - good deal. Hopefully you can successfully work around his picky eating while still being healthy yourself. And who knows? Maybe he'll work through some of his habits and be willing to try some new things for you!
