Dear Sal,
My girlfriend never wants to order her own dinner when we go out to eat. She always says she isn’t hungry enough and orders a drink. When my order arrives, she has no problem reaching over and taking things from my plate. At first I thought it was just a random thing and maybe she just got hungry later, it was maybe even a little romantic. But now I no longer find it endearing, in fact it is very annoying. I have even suggested that she just go ahead and order, but she always insists she is not hungry. Do you have any suggestions?
Eats like a bird fella
Dear fella,
This is on the verge of being an eating disorder, or at the very least an eating disruption. Your girlfriend may not be aware that what she is doing is rude. You have a right to eat your dinner without Ms. Bird picking at it.
You need to tell her exactly how you feel and that there is no more reaching into your plate. Sometimes you need to be clear and frank to get your point across, especially when dealing with a Bird Brain. If she doesn’t get the message maybe it is time to find another dinner partner.
Yours truly,
Sal
