I’m about to take a roadtrip from NY to CA. I have a 24 model 3 highland LRAWD. I’ve driven to Florida before so I’m no stranger to the experience of the most luxurious bachelor pad on wheels.

So far, I have a mattress, black out window shades, and a fridge that fits in the little trunk corner nook. I usually store my luggage in the frunk to keep it out of my way and leave the passenger seat open incase I need it for some random reason. What other additions may I not be thinking of that would make a longer trip a bit more comfortable of an experience than it already is if anything?

I appreciate any insight as I plan to stay in my car for a week or two for this trip. (Maybe a hotel here and there to stretch).

If anyone receives this email, please do not click on it. I understand it looks real and is very well made, and I know this is an unwritten rule when it comes to emails, however for the people that are unaware, It is a scam. Do not click the link, and please do not link anything to it. “Tesla Genesis NFT” is not a real thing.

I’m a 25 year old male, and honestly, dating with ARFID can feel like an impossible task sometimes. I don’t know anyone else in real life who has it, so I'm turning to this sub for some perspective.

The whole romantic food culture is completely alien to me because food has never been a big part of my world. I’m totally fine going out to eat for a date or an activity, but it’s just never going to be at a super fancy restaurant. I’m pretty much always going to order breakfast food or chicken tenders. I try to make it clear to potential partners that my diet doesn’t limit their choices. Just because I don't have a conventional palate doesn’t mean I’m going to stop them from eating whatever they want. I’ve had understanding partners in the past who got that it's just a me thing, but it's still a tough hurdle to clear.

Honestly, I see a major upside to it because I never have to waste energy wondering what I want to eat. I'd gladly eat the same safe food three times a day for the rest of my life, though I understand where others aren't cool with that. I also definitely understand the flip side. It can be frustrating for a partner if they are a major foodie who wants to share the experience of traveling and exploring new cuisines together. I love to travel, but my flexibility with food is obviously extremely limited for reasons we all understand here.

I would really love to hear about your own dating experiences and how you navigate this. I’m also completely open to advice on how you phrase ARFID to new people so it doesn't sound like such a massive limitation or dealbreaker right out of the gate. Thanks in advance for sharing your perspectives. I hope you’re all having better luck than I am!
