I decided I would be willing to date a non-vegan since despite the conveniences and shared ethics of other vegans, it can be hard to find them in general, and maybe I could influence people positively, though probably without any expectation for them to go vegan (but still hoping society will move toward it one day anyway).

But online questions asking people (non-vegans) if they would date a vegan really shocked and surprised me when most of the answers were no, mostly for reasons of inconvenience and a fear of being pulled into veganism. This leaves me feeling like finding other vegans may be my only option after all. Is this somewhat accurate?

    Personally, I love bbq, burgers, steak, fried chicken, ham sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, etc. Almost every meal I have involves meat.

    I feel like it would cause an unneeded friction, and theres plenty of fish in the sea sea. Someone I could go out to eat with, without worrying if they can eat there.

    Not dealbreaker, but a yellow flag at least.

      To answer your last concern, I can eat at pretty much every restaurant :) There’s always something there for vegans. Well I guess the extent or quality of those options might depend on where you live, lol. But eating out with nonvegans has always been fine for me in that regard.
