Dating with food allergies

What to Keep in Mind About Food Allergies & Dating

When that happens for teens or adults alike, it can be one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. The butterflies in the stomach, the sense of possibility, the anticipation prior to that first kiss. But for individuals with food allergies, that sense of joyful anticipation can be understandably mixed with concern about whether a new love interest has avoided eating your allergen s before seeing you. This comes across powerfully in one of our public service announcements, entitled First Kiss , which involves teens but applies to all ages. Other issues that often come to the forefront include deciding which restaurants are safe to frequent and managing social events with friends and family. This is true for teens who are beginning to date, and for adults navigating the road of romantic partnership, from dating through marriage.
