Advice for vegan girl on date...?

What do I do if he takes me somewhere and I can't eat anything, what if he wants to buy me snacks at the movies that I don't eat???


How can I keep him from feeling bad about me not eating anything, and keep myself from feeling bad for being so choosey??





Advice please, what to say/do??Advice for vegan girl on date...?
is there anything you can buy at the movies that is vegan? if not you could just take some of your own food.Advice for vegan girl on date...?
It would be far easier to be upfront with you date, even before accepting a date. Many guys just aren't going to fool around with someone who has totally different eating habits than them. So why waste your time, or his?





I have learned the hard way, that being with certain people for meals simply doesn't work, and I don't do that anymore with them. We tend to associate for a different type of event. At least at the movies, you could take a small soda or juice, whether you drink it or not. But if you can't even do that, then save everyone all the drama you are causing and first look to find someone who shares your eating habits before you will go out with them.
If he already knows you're vegan, he should be conscious, respectful, and considerate enough as to where to take you and where not to take you when you go out to eat ... or go to the movies. You might have to remind him about your eating way-of-life a few times, but he ought to already have it in his head to take you to a place where you both can order things you like.
If he knows, and understand what you are, then there should be no problem. You should help in picking a restaurant, and tell him if you are going to be disturbed if he eats meat.





I personally no longer will date anyone with eating habits that different from my own. I have found that ladies you are vegetarians are often offended by a big hamburger, or bloody rare steak. And I have found there are just too many others will to go out without these hang-ups. Life is too short to deal with these problems, for you, and for him.
why would you date someone who doesnt share your fundamental values in the first place?





will you not find it difficult to sit accross from someone eating meat whether its from an animal rights/ecology perspective or simply from the aesthetic of food aromas wafting up your nose.





its *always* one reason or the other for choosing a vegetatarian lifestyle.





I've never heard a third reason. feel free to educate me. i am open to all ideologies
If he knows you are vegan, then there should not be a problem.


Be active in choosing the restaurant - make suggestions that work for YOU and see if he also likes them.





If he deliberately makes this date difficult, then that is a clear sign that he doesn't respect you.
If he knows you're vegan, then there shouldn't be any issue. Don't worry about it. I have a vegan friend, and I know she can take care of herself, foodwise, so I never worry about what she is or is not eating.
Tell him that you are vegan ahead of time so you both can adapt any plans. Trust me to bring that up while looking at the menu would be annoying.
