So, we were hanging out together, and things were fun and going great. We both admitted we liked each other a lot, but weren’t interested in anything serious. Cut to a month or so later: you completely stop talking to me, and now suddenly you have a girlfriend. It sucked, but I can deal. Now I find out you stopped chatting because my diet was too “complicated” and “high maintenance” for you… excuse me?! I’m sorry that my food intolerances were too “complicated” for you, but it’s not like I was forcing you to eat that way! If this is what single life holds for me, I hope there is a gluten and dairy free boy out there who wouldn’t mind being complicated and high maintenance with me! And who won’t spend all day baked out of his mind. —Gluten free girlie girl

na he was just a psycho.. normal people don’t get worried about shit like that.
perhaps that’s the excuse because his GF is pressuring him to stop seeing you….
especially since you’ve declared ‘feelings’…
I’m sure there’s a twiggy ‘boy’ out there for you…
assuming YOUR criteria aren’t impossible to conform to.
did you talk about your diet all the time? sometimes that’s annoying.
Nothing serious = he’s just not that into you.
I mean obv since he has a gf now.
Also: I agree with zed 110%. His gf probably told him to cut you out.
Anyway, OP, you deserve better than this jerkwad. He did you a favour by cutting you out. Go out there and find someone who deserves you. I doubt it’s because of your diet — people are notorious for making up lame ass excuses instead of just owning up to the real deal. It sucks, but it is what it is.
Remember to claim those dietary items at tax time! A loaf of bread cost $2.99 and gluten-free $9.99….so you are able to claim the difference of $7.00 ~ imagine when you add up all the items over a year!
Really sorry OP but he wasn’t that into you and he’s using this as an escape from saying that “I really don’t find you all that attractive, you annoy me with all your food talk, I’m young and just want to sleep around for a bit and see what’s out there”. OP…buck up! There’s lots of great guys who will be right for you…this guy wasn’t…don’t blame yourself…some people just aren’t compatible….don’t wonder what YOU did wrong…because it was nothing…you’ll find the “best man” for you some day.
A guy I was with dumped me because I poured cereal in the garbage out of spite to another person (who was stealing my cereal). He said it showed I didn’t care about the earth as much as he did. I think that excuse takes the lamecake!
Unfortunately, just to add to RC’s point — you can’t control who you end up having feelings for and it sucks because you probably really did like this guy… and he didn’t like you back. That really really sucks.
But, everything happens for a reason, and this just wasn’t meant to be. I know it really doesn’t make you any less pissed off, but we’ve all been there, OP. ALL of us.
Here I was, thinking I just made up a new word, “lamecake” but I guess some bastards beat me to it.

This guy’s not a dick at all and didn’t deserve a bitch in the coast…he just doesn’t like her. People can’t choose who they like and even though it may hurt for a moment..get over it…Op’s not going to like every guy who’s interested in her…so every guy she likes may not like her back as well….that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

DAMN IT, this one’s PERFECT.

Yeah — I get that — I don’t think the guy’s a dick for not liking her: I think he’s a dick because he gave her some lame ass excuse. People are always fucking doing this. Just tell it like it is! If you don’t like them, just say “sorry I don’t like you — I like someone else.” And he’s probably so pussy whipped already he does everything the little gf says. Yeah, just wait until she stops fucking his brains out twelve times a day (yeah, arbitrary number, but you guys get the point).
There are A LOT of insecure women out there who make their “man” cut off a lot if not all of their female friends with they end up coupling. That bugs me more than anything — get some fucking self esteem, one, and two: men who let their gfs do this to them really need to grow a pair.
..idk the dynamics op but; when peeps have too many food “issues” ..i can’t deal with them very well .. usually other issues are underneath 🙂
Sorry to hear you have dietary considerations.
I do as well.
I don’t talk about them.
I don’t understand why you bothered to bitch , about someone who does have a problem with yours.
Don’t you realise you’re better off ?
People with certain serious diseases that have to follow an actual strict diet can’t help but bring it up — especially with people they’re close with.
That being said, I know i’ve only discussed my dietary limitations on here and mentioned it to friends and such while ordering food or cooking together or something and even then I just tell them I have to eat lower fibre. Even my parents aren’t certain of what I can and can’t tolerate — my dad, especially. *shrug* I know what I can and can’t eat, and deal with it myself 🙂
The whole “I can’t date you because of your special diet” line is just that — a line.
PK…men and woman think differently…back to my new favourite commercial. (people also lie to get what they want and not everyone is a nice person…men and women). Also Z3…love the visuals 🙂

It is true though sometimes the fussiest of eaters can be a pain in the arse if you all want to go to a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion and you have to take in to account everyones tastes and intolerances, you end up with a shit comprimise. I also can’t stand vegetarians who are up there own arses because they don’t eat meat and you do. You people remind me of lisa simpson, and she was the worst simpsons character to me.
Ha ha it’s true. Trying to figure out what’s going on inside a guy’s mind is… pointless, lol.
..actually i know what’s going on in MOST guy’s mind..not me though I’m so much more than such trivial pursuits 🙂
I just “liked” this on facebook..except I didn’t, I wasn’t even open to this page?
WTF?
I can’t stand narrow-minded people who think that ANYONE else’s dietary choices but their own are even their business.
Jeeze Anglo, restaurants have these things called menus that offer choices that everyone likes. Celebrating special occasions is less about the food and more about the person being celebrated, is it not? I’ve worked in many restaurants and never once did I have a table that ordered a ‘group meal’. What is that anyway?
OP, you deserve people in your life who accept you for who you are. Sounds like this guy voluntarily removed himself from that category, leaving you better off. Celebrate!
HAHA anglo, I hear ya.
Really I can’t eat high fibre grains, carrots or peppers of any kind and seeds and nuts. Basically I have to eat low fibre, and most restaurants accommodate this.
Only place I absolutely cannot eat at is Subway. *shrug*
Also: FA, that’s too funny 🙂 Also, i confirmed with jonno. Get him to give you my email address! 🙂
I don’t know why women say we’re complicated. We’re really not. We generally have only one thing in mind, if you catch my drift.
we all know that diets are mostly fads, and are of no real worh. in the mind only, maybe? i’m on a c food diet myself, i only eat whatever has a c in it. you know like chips, chocolate, chuck roast, that kind of crap. and if it don’t/doesn’t have a c in it, i just substitute another letter to make it all okay.
and yes ivan, cunt has a c in it too.
It was the excuse. Realistically, OP: did you talk constantly about it? Was that ALL you spoke about? Were you trying to expound the virtues of your diet?
Truthfully, it just sounds like an excuse. His gf doesnt want him taking to any other chics, so, you’re out.
No, he doesnt sound like a “man”…he could have simply said, “My gf gets jealous.”
Which makes it incredibly difficult to get anything else out of y’all, 195!
Hence, our frustration.
>: )
we do have a one-track mind….
here’s what I’m always thinking about….. unless I’m asleep.
http://www.thefeltsource.com/New-Food-Pyra…
Have you tried asking a straight question? 😛
vs. a gay question, b195??
😀
Hahaha I figured that was gonna come up. 😛
There are virtues to being dairy-gluten challenged? I have dietary restrictions. Far from being virtuous, they make eating a vigilance to ensure no forbidden ingredients are present in my food. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

r.c., that was one fucked up commercial, and the kid will be fucked up too. must have been filmed in sprytown?
Hey Ocean-Eagle-Buddy. Been getting some good Hornby action all week. No eggs yet but both have been sprucing up the nest with fresh evergreen boughs. Think Mama-Eagle’s starting to get broody.
Zed’s got a round about point there: most men won’t fuck you on an empty stomach.
Feed ‘im a sandwich and he’s allllll yours! hahaha
OC: *sigh* I feel your pain. Last year before my surgery i couldn’t eat any dairy products whatsoever — not because of the lactose, but because of the proteins. I’m ok with most dairy now, but I can’t eat yogurt at all. What I’m generally left with are the “bad” things that people make snide remarks about when I insist on white bread, for example. Someone actually told me once at a function, when I went to grab a white roll that if i ate the whole wheat I’d lose weight (SERIOUSLY).
Fortunately I’ve found a dietician who’s husband has crohn’s and understands why eating low fibre is important (one who ACTUALLY doesn’t try and push flax seed intake on me!). The only difference is, the white startches break down faster — but calorie/fat wise, white startches are no worse than whole grain 🙂
LS – how on earth was that a fucked up commercial? I think you may be losing it more than usual.
Also Orgas-Brend….the term “take the hint” is so people don’t have to come right out and be honest….especially because the other popular term “The truth hurts!!!”
Col-Eagle-Eye-van: I was watching a couple days ago and noticed the same thing. Mama is definitely broody. Egg(s) to follow soon, I am sure. Very eggs-sighting!
PK: I feel for you too kitty-chickie. Ain’t no fun having to always be watching what you eat, even less so when others make stupid comments about your only options.
Alright i was out of order but in my family for example when its someones birthday we will go out for a meal and it will be that persons choice, except it ends up that dad doesnt like fish, mum doesnt like curry, sister doesnt like chinese, i don’t like sushi, so we end up at boston pizza or something like that, which sucks really i’d like to go out with my family to a curryhouse or for fish n chips.
Anglo, I’m impressed that you stepped up to say you were out of order, instead of going on the defensive. I agree that it is difficult to accomodate everyone’s preferences with one type of cuisine. I think we’ve all experienced that. But no need to be deprived. Save the curry or fish ‘n chips excursions for friends who share the same taste in dining. My family’s taste in food differs vastly from mine too.
I think that being a vegetarian is a missed-steak…
I’ll get my coat..
🙂
http://www.motifake.com/image/demotivation…
I honestly don’t get the open season on vegetarians. Intolerance only shows the world one’s ignorance, idiocy, and lack of maturity. Yet so many people are quick to expose themselves as thus. Wow! Since when has food on someone’s plate become the business of anyone but the person eating it?
I wasn’t being serious just making bad puns.
Just pokin some fun Oc, no offence. You should taste my parsnip soup, it’s to die for daahhling ;P
Hugo. Are you in halifax or do you live somewhere else? Unless once again I’m confusing my bitchers.
HAHAHA
Anglo, I fucking loved the pun!!! I was having a bad night, that totally cheered me up.
You, my anonymous friend, are awesome.
It was a korny pun. But still I smiled at it too.
In addressing the people here who are upset about those who ,they preceive, look down at them .
Why do you care ?
It’s nothing…its ignorance.
Although I’m more attentive to the needs of someone who’s food choices are dictated by alergy’s. I tried vegetarinaism on for over a year. Wasn’t for me, but i discovered some foods I still eat.
In my experience the saying, “hunger is the best sauce”.
Because when you’re out in the middle of nowhere & you get hungry enough, whatever’s available will do, although if alergic, you’ll still die ! ………… which in a way still solves the hunger issue.
I’m blushing but also feel bad for poking fun.
Speaking of bad puns:

RC – Black Point, near Hubbards 🙂
Moving to lwr-trashvile soon though.
Vegan? No thanks, I like my steak blue. Speaking of which I’ve been marinating one for the past for 2 days. It should be ripe by now…Yum!
Having tonnes of computer problems tonight can’t seem to load anything, will look at your pic tomorrow fallingangel.
Hugo…I liked you until the Lr trashville comment – it’s Sackvegas or sacktown for those who live in the community. Please be nice.
I *used* to live in Sackville, so I think I’m well within my rights to call it “Bag Town”! heehee 😛
Lol, RC. Where do you tink I got the name? From people who live there.
PS – I grew up near Sackville, and went to school there for several years.
PPS – If it weren’t for a family by the name of Payzant, a lot of Sackville would not exist.
..Is that a hint as to your identity?
Which schools, Hugo? heehee
Not a hint, nope, not me.
I went to 2 schools in Fall River, 1 in Windsor Junction, 1 in Waverley & Sackville High.
Did yo know that the orignal name was going to be “Lower Sackville District Highschool”?
The school jackets woul have said “LSD High” ;D
There’s always Pelham Middle School – Imagine going to the PMS PTA
Hugo…. did you go to the old Windsor Junction school just across the street from the entrance to the Community Center? I went there too….. they used to have classes in those little makeshift shacks out front….. when were you there? I am assuming the schools in FR were A.J. and G.P.V.
HAHA did you go to Waverly Road School, Hugo?
SERIOUSLY I’d LOL because that’s where I went to kindergarten 😛
I was supposed to go to Millwood High, but my parents transplanted me to the Valley so it was that big fancy 30 million dollar school everyone bitched about. Funny thing *is* I went to the old one for a year and liked it way better. Heh.
I knew about the LSD high thing…Sackville High is proud of that one…lol. I went there too class of 98′
Our school’s name changed too — we were Horton District High School and when we went to the new one it was just Horton High School.
kerfunk, WinJct ,yep, circa 1967. It’s a performing arts (music) school now.
GPV yes, and what is now the small community centre next to the gas station, by the lake.
PK – L. C. Skerry
RC – class of ’78
Yeah I figured you graduated back in the day — i wasn’t getting the 20 something vibe off ya, Hugo 😛
Your diet is an excuse.. just like I don’t have the emotional room for a relationship right now (translation, I have moved onto to someone insert here… more beautiful, less thought provoking, easier to dupe, more my type). Men in their 20s and 30s are still emotionally amoebas, and frankly there is not much evolution in later years, just more sophisticated means of kicking you to the curb. Good luck… and lay off on the poster child from food intolerances.. it gets really tiresome fast.
