>how do I date a vegan?

by putting your cars on the table and making reasonable compromises.

date night might mean going to HER restaurant and never yours for instance, however its unreasonable for you to NEVER eat meat at home.

it might be wise to start sharing SOME vegan meals at home, not just like vegan curry, but perhaps some meat substitutes so you can still enjoy meals together at home, but again it shouldnt mean losing ALL of your meats and other assorted foods.

put your cards on the table and say what you said here, and if she can't handle that, then there is no magical loophole that'll fix it.

good luck

Just be respectful about your diet and drinking and don't rub it in her face. If she's not one of the cultist vegans she won't care. I'm a vegan and I've dated a lot of omni girls and it's never been an issue.

Thanks for the advice. I don't mind going to some trouble for her because I think she's really special.

Do you find it disrespectful when someone who knows you're vegan eats meat in front of you? Would you accept a hypothetical girlfriend who has a carnivore night every week, with or without you?

in the end it wont really be trouble, vegan food isn't as god awful as people claim it is in TV and the like. most people try like ONE vegan thing and throw a fit cuz it doesn't take exactly like what they're used to.

the only truly awful experience I had with vegan food was the vegan brownie at tender greens. i legit can't finish that thing and im a glutton

Watching people eat meat has never bothered me personally. Only eating meat once a week should be enough to satisfy all but the most insane lefty sjw vegans.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you go vegan in the first place?

>>18393067
not gonna lie, Im a vegetarian. Not a vegan but I HATE the smell of meat and would never let it in the same house as me. Fish is fine, but everything else smells like shit and I can smell it from miles away. And if you eat pork id never consider you.

looks like this is gonna be more about her accepting your lifestyle than vice versa.

I've been a vegan for a long time. I've never had an issue with others eating meat because most people do. The only thing that gets annoying are stupid questions like "were do you get yer protein" or asking if I have a cheat day. Dumb shit.

Just don't be the guy that tries to force your lifestyle and hopefully she doesn't try and force her lifestyle on you.

Very simple. You accept the vegan life. You dont have to be a vegan. But you are going to have to concede heavily and slowly move your diet closer to hers.

Honestly, just show her you care about her and be normal about it. If you really like her so much just never make it an issue. If it comes up just be as respectful as possible. If she doesn't respect you or your values and makes it a make or break issue than she probably isn't the girl for you.

You are missing a critical point. You are not just someone she knows. You are dating this chick.
Like if you are allergic to peanuts you dont really care if someone eats peanuts infront of you as long as they respect your needs. But you care a lot about if your SO does and its definitely a deal breaker if they do.

I find the idea of eating another animal's flesh and excretions disgusting and I don't feel good about benefiting from another being suffering. I recognize that eating animal products is human nature and normal tho

Just tell her, dont be scured
