So I met someone interesting..agnostic, into science and ..

Don't know- maybe a yr or two? The sausage initially grossed me out because it tasted so much like pork sausage and I hadn't eaten that in a long time. The hamburger smells like canned dog food when you cook it, I won't lie, but the taste is terrific and it has the texture of real burger. I was a veg for a long time- I became a vegan at a good time, as the non -soy options have multiplied.

If you like fish, then order fish when you are with her.

And you like some of that Vegan stuff.

Sounds like a winner to me—unless she gets on your butt about your diet.

I’m a meat-eater and agnostic. My wife doesn’t eat pork and is part-vegetarian during Lent. She’s a believer in God. She doesn’t get on my butt about it too much.

Personally, I wouldn't "date" a vegan, because I consider the position to be irrational (along with other reasons), but unless she's also requiring you to become a vegan, why should it be impossible?

Great stuff Mr Boo!

Overthinking could be at play here. If you are a good match for eachother then compromising on the diet will happen, for both of you.
Wait and see if there is potential... then think about dietary changes.
As others have said chatting about your concerns is also a good gauge for more long term compatibility.

Solved.

/ Yeah, it is solved for now.

Since you like vegan food anyway, what difference would it make?

Well, it will not make any difference as long we don’t live with each other. It is still too early to be too concerned about it.

So go on a damn date with her....

If you like her and she seems to like you than a few incompatibilities should not be a problem you and a potential girlfriend do not have to be exactly the same. Sound like if you were open to it you could potentially enjoy spending time with this woman and forming a longer term relationship....but of course if her veganism is a dealbreaker, better tell her that before she gets attached to you.

That doesn't really make sense if you like vegan food to why would it become a problem when you live together? I mean you don't want to eat vegan stuff, she doesn't cook vegan stuff you like.you don't know how to cook yourself?(don't feel bad I don't really know how either) or You're not ready to live one on one with another person?....I mean kind of seems like maybe you have some baggage preventing you enjoying a relationship. LIke you should not be so concerned with the woman eating vegan....I am sure if you wanted you could take her out some place that has food you would also like.

Like why are you zoning in on that she has a different eating style, when you're thinking about dating her. Most women don't want a man who tells them what they can and cannot eat anyways. I mean if you are interested in her at all then go on a date...if her not eating meat is a deal breaker don't go on a date.

Otherwise the only way you will know if there is compatibility would be to meet her in person and see how she is face to face, if you hit it off or not and such.

LIke what exactly are you asking for here, which ways are best to most hurtfully break up with her, or how you can prove your vegan diet is far superior to her primitive diet that still involves meat....or are you actually trying to find a way to stay with this woman. Just don't want to waste time giving tips on how to maybe keep her around if your goal is to just ditch her anyways.

Whoa Sweeleaf, relax, take a deep breath. Is everything...ok with you? lol

I will not stop dating her because of food. And yes I know how to cook the basic stuff. And for the record we are still not a couple, I hope we will but wait and see.

You are reading into this and projecting way too much, by “it was solved” I meant that I thought about it and it should not be a big deal, and I wrongly thought that it would be a big deal for her than it actually is (she already knows that I eat meat); she does try to push me to try her food and I have no issue with it.

I am not projecting anything, just pointing out its not as big of a deal as you are making it out to be that she is a vegan and you're not, especially if you enjoy vegan food anyways and aside from that are 90% compatible like you say in your O.P.

If that is the case than I just don't see what the problem is exactly...but its your life, if you want to preemptively decide it won't work out just because she's vegan that's your choice doesn't effect me or really anyone else here at all. I am sure next month it will be another women you're seeing that you come asking 'it wont work right guys' or 'I am wasting my time with her right.'...then i might try to encourage you to quit being so picky, and you will make some kind of comment implying that I am completely irrational...rinse and repeat, it is quite predictable really.

Sweetleaf, we are fine now, don't worry.

And no, I don't really jump from one woman to another, you probably forgot that I was in a LT for 2 years and got cheated. So...you're just being unfair.

No offence, Sweetleaf, but are you ok?

I'm asking because while the OP was slightly catastrophic you made some wild assumptions in your last two posts...

Perhaps I was being unfair, just seemed boo was trying to find excuses to end the relationship before it really went anywhere. It seems I may have missed a bit where it was determined the food issue wasn't such a big thing before a couple of my last comments by not reading the whole thread first(it was late at the time and I wasn't paying very good attention)

what can I say sh*t happens. I hope things work out with this woman and boo.

No worries, I was really concerned you weren't feeling well.
