14/f I have been with my boyfriend since January. Whenever we go out, I can never eat in front of him. For instance, when we go to six flags together, I usually don't get anything to eat, just something to drink. Same with movies, mall, what have you.
Well. In about a month, we have a Semi-Formal dance coming up at school. This dance includes a catered dinner before they open the dance floor.
I'm afraid to eat in front of my boyfriend. I'm perfectly fine in front of most friends and whatnot, but I'm not the skinniest girl in the world so I think thats probably why I'm shy about eating.
Its not that I think my boyfriend won't accept me or something, because I know he's not at all like that -- but I still won't eat when I'm with him.
What can I do to resolve this problem?

I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult time eating in front of your boyfriend. I know that there are a lot of young girls out there with the same concerns. Maybe you could try eating a small amount taking a bite or two and then gradually eating more and more when you feel more comfortable. I'm sure that your boyfriend has noticed so I'm surprised that he's never asked. When I was first with my husband I didn't really eat in front of him either . . . and I don't really know why. Now we laugh about the dates that we used to have where all I had was a soda. Take care.
