Food
(San Diego, Ca, USA)
Food is a major part of my life and my GF is very picky when it comes to food she is unaware of(she's not on a diet).
It's hard to take her out to restaurants or make her a meal. She will always order the same item from the same restaurant(something plain) and approaches anything else very negatively.
I've tried to take her to similar style restaurants, but she still is weary and I have a hard time enjoying the night.
Am I making this more of a big deal than it is?
ANSWER
I would say that, if she enjoys what she eats, and doesn't want to experiment, thats alright.
Alot of people are like this, and are perfectly happy never trying any new foods.
So I wouldn't worry about that.
The only problem I see is that her unwillingness to experiment may limit your access to trying new things.
You might want to suggest a compromise, where every 3rd or 4th time you go out, you get to choose a restaurant where you can experiment.
If you make her a home cooked meal that is kind of boring, just focus more on making the night btter (more romantic), rather than focusing on the food.
