[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On this one, you're both wrong. You have got to learn how to get by in the real world, but she shouldn't notice and comment on what you're eating. She shouldn't be having a dinner with the intent of "making you eat stuff". You're an annoying guest, but if I generally enjoy your company, I will invite you and just ignore you sitting there eating bread and water. [/quote]

OP -- why not turn down dinner, invite her out to coffee (order yourself a juice box) and just be honest about it and say that you love her company (if you do) but you guys will never share the same preferences in food and you don't want her to put herself out to host dinner parties for you and your family when you guys don't eat that kind of food, as you know how much work such parties take. You can say that you'd love to get together with her for coffee, dinners out, or events and you value her friendship. If someone was actually my friend, I wouldn't be so offended by this that I would never see them again. If anything I'd feel glad that I didn't continue to waste my effort on a friend who wasn't interested in my food and would instead just make reservations. [/quote]
