How would you go about meeting people with similar diet choices in a small town?

Asked by Unbroken (10746points) May 29th, 2014

Diet has become increasingly important to me. Celiac with multiple food allergies and avoid gmos. I am always leery of cross contamination with gluten, esp in well when I had a kitchen my kitchen.

Then there is kissing issue, I can’t kiss some one who has just eaten gluten with out them at least rinsing their mouth out but better yet brushing their teeth.

Not to mention other related problems. I have met guys in the specialty food section or at the co op.. but that is slightly rare. And there is always the possibility he is buying for someone. The other thing is some just choose to go g free but allow themselves this or that, or are just sensitive meaning they don’t conform to the higher standard of g free.

I have yet to meet a single male that is a celiac. Even the support group is all female. Or at least whenever I attended.

The couples usually double up on utensils and pans have dedicated g free appliances and such. Some even cook two meals every night etc. Which sounds expensive and bothersome.

Ok I’m jumping ahead on this issue, as far as shared cooking. But sometimes I like to do the couple cooking thing esp since there are limited safe dining choices for me.

I’m bringing this up because my last relationship he got tired of me stopping him from kissing me. Or telling him to brush his teeth, and we only ate two meals together because our dining needs were so different.

Is there a better way to approach this?
