Anyone allergic to shellfish? I am severely allergic and it seems girls always want to eat shrimp when we go out. It has made a few dates fizzle. Any non awkward way to communicate this?

My girlfriend is allergic to shellfish. I was absolutely craving crab legs one night when we wet out, so I ordered them and made sure I brushed all hell out of my teeth that night and took a long shower after. It didn't matter. She woke up in the middle of the night with a bad reaction.

When you go out for a first or second date, just bring it up at the beginning before you choose where to eat. "I'm allergic to shellfish, and I can have a reaction from eating french fries out a fryer also used to fry shrimp. So if you don't want me to break out in hives our first date, can we find somewhere that doesn't serve a lot of fried seafood?"

Inject humor in the situation while simultaneously implying that if she wants to get some that night, she better not eat shellish.

Other option is to talk about it while you're lookng at the menu. "You know what eally sucks? Never being able to eat a crab cake...." That way she knows before she orders that you're allergic.

EDIT: The point is, it shouldn't be awkward if you bring it up befre ordering or before choosing a place to eat. If she orders shellfish and then you bring it up....yeah that's kinda awkward.
