I'm a vegetarian but... I think it would be disturbing to like go on a date with your boyfriend and you eat a nice vegetarian salad while having your boyfriend sit across from you gobbling down a steak.
I do understand sometimes your boyfriend or girlfriend decides to listen to your opinions and sometimes goes on your side but is it wrong to only date vegetarians if you're vegetarian?
I'm vegetarian because of the animals and my health.
But, seriously, can you picture yourself getting enganged and coming home to a fridge filled with dead animals? When you'd much rather come home to a fridge filled with veggies and fruits and meat subtitutions.

No. A healthy relationship feeds on two people and their similarities. With such a big difference, him eating meat and you not, I think there would be many fights about it.
If you only want to date vegan/vegetarians, do it. If I was, I would do the same as you.

No, I don't think it's morally wrong but you would be limiting yourself quite a lot, how many vegetarian guys do you know? I've been vegetarian since I was 15 because I think it's cruel and wrong to slaughter innocent animals for the sake of a steak (which I never liked anyway), but I am married to a guy who loves meat! It is extremely gross having a meat keeper full of bloody animal flesh in the fridge but I insist on it being kept right away from all the other food, and we do eat mainly vegetarian meals anyway because I do most of the cooking! Basically I don't think you can choose who you fall in love with and in any marriage you both have to make compromises and learn to deal with things that you wouldn't have to if you stayed single and lived alone!

I don't think it's wrong I do sometimes feel weird about sitting across from a guy who's eating a dead animal but i learned that i have to take the good with the bad but it is kind hard for me to only date vegan and vegetarians because not many teens are vegan or vegetarians in my school or area

I prefer to be on my own and dont date, but if I did, I would be open minded, mainly because I havent even met another vegetarian in 3 years-the options would be pretty limited unless you live in a large city with a large vegetarian community. No, I would not want to live in a house that had dead animals in it. Quite a dilemma, isnt it? I am glad I am content being on my own!

No. I love to consume the animals I hunt and fish for. And for an entire life have performed so with a partner who enhances me by way of being with me each step of the way in which, to not point out having been the exceptional cook dinner of untamed sport ever! I have come to the belief for a courting to be triumphant and final a long time, each will have to have extra matters in normal apart from liking each and every different. And consuming foods at house could be awkward to mention the least. And potentially the temptation to discover anyone extra suitable extra exciting?.. Come on men and gals. Falling in love and marrying with this change? You gotta be kidding.

I think if you have to ask that question, and then answer it so well yourself, you already know that there is nothing wrong with making the choice to date someone who obviously has some of the things you would like in a long term partner(eg. lifestyle compatibility), and then you move on to other important issues you would like. No. 1 down... the rest to follow!!

Some people can do it and some can't.If a girl ate meat and I didn't know then it wouldn't be a huge deal,but I would be grossed out if she ate meat in front of me though.How can you have a romantic dinner while someone is eating a dead animal?I would hate to open my fridge and see a huge rack of ribs.

This is a personal preference and there's nothing wrong with dating anyone you choose to date, and you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. It's your life and it shows great wisdom that you know which road leads to happiness for you personally, so go ahead and travel your chosen road. I hope you and your vegan partner enjoy every moment of your journey together.

I guess the question is are you prepared to forego your beliefs for the sake of love? This is your life. Do what is right for you. I myself could not see a peice of meat in my fridge, or smell it for that matter and just let it go.

If you would prefer your significant other to have certain beliefs, I see nothing wrong with that. If you were to date someone who wasn't a vegetarian, than they would have to totally respect the fact that you are.
