A Beginners Guide to Vegan Dating and Vegetarian Dating

Vegetarian dating is tough. So you've made the transition to going veggie, now you have to deal with other people's opinions and somehow find food in your local supermarket or fast food joint that doesn't have meat and, if you're a vegan, doesn't have dairy. That's a big ask. 

Then you'll have to find buddies and persuade your own kin to accept your dietary choices. That's a big call on the big calendar dates like Xmas and birthdays.

On top of all that, dating is hard for vegans and vegetarians. A recent poll found that 66 % of people on the dating market did not want to go out with a veggie, based on the view that they were picky in their food choices.

The assertion in the article was that vegetarianism and veganism made men less "manly". This is despite the fact that there are men such as notoriously girly rappers RZA (Wu Tang Clan) and Chuck D (Public Enemy),  as well as former President and ladies man Bill Clinton are passionate vegetarians..

To overcome prejudices, which affect both sexes, it may be preferable to find a partner that shares your outlook. You may also choose to go out with a fellow veggie for more fundamental reasons, such as you need to love a person who also cares for the our planet and animal life as passionately as you do.

Some months ago,the BBC published a story on this issue, and they found a single man in search of a fellow veggie.

Vegan Alex Bourke explained "I cannot condone non-veggies any more than I can condone people who beat their children”.

"I do not want any part of the cruelty involved, not just in factory farming, but in any kind of animal farming", he said, echoing sentiments shared by many vegans.

Although it may trivial to some, he explained, "I did break up with someone over cheese". This shows how profound the vegan outlook can be from the rest of meat-eating, dairy-consuming society.

Bourke does lead and active social life with non-veggies.  "Every week I go for restaurant meals and I meet dozens of friends, some of whom are very attractive, and sometimes things happen". He wonders about their compatibility, adding "If I kiss someone I just do not want the hassle of wondering, what is stuck between her teeth?"

This shows how tough it can be to find someone by chance, as the sheer numbers here in the West are against you. For example, here in the UK, vegans number 150,000 out of a population of 65 million. Meanwhile, over in America, vegans account for two million out of a population of 315 million. With odds like that, you're going to need some help.

Dating Online: Three Tips For Bringing The Spark Of Attraction Back To Life

It's been said that you can't miss something you never had, but we all know that's not true. The thought that there was a special person that we have let get away is something that happens to even the most attractive and desirable of us.

It's no different online. It's even worse when there is an initial attraction with someone we really like, a great spark, that builds and builds and builds, with the promise of more....but then fizzles out.

It can be derailed by a disagreement over something minor, or one of you being preoccupied by work, family or other commitments. The slightest thing can break the heavenly trance of attraction between you.

However, if you are convinced there is an underlying, authentic attraction between you, and you want to fight to turn things around, there are some tips you can follow.

How To Meet Girls And Get Their Number

Guys, here at My Vegetarian Dating, we want to give you some tips on how to meet girls and get their number, so if this is something you're keen to learn about, then read on....

The typical way of asking out a lady is to find her somewhere out there in the real world, in a coffee shop, a store, or on the street, and exchange information. The key thing is, you must have a way of contacting her after your first meeting, or you'll never see her again.

Some men go try to get a girl's cell phone number the minute start talking with a girl. Being able to get a number is a task in itself. If she wants to give you her number, she'll offer it to you.

You cannot overpower a girl into handing over her number, and it's not going to be much use to you if you do. What you want, is, even before you ask, is that she should be thinking to herself “I hope he asks for my number”. That's comes down to going in with the right, confident attitude. And making some effort with your appearance, of course.

Listed below are some basic guidelines you need to take before you can get a female's number.

Step 1: Create an Excellent First Impression

The main reason why you would choose a magazine at the newsagents is because the cover caught your attention. By the same token, when it comes to meeting for the first time, you should be aiming to make a great first impression on a girl you are asking out. Women are pretty quick at deciding if they're going to talk to you or not. Ladies who are hit on by men often do this, as it happens to them all the time. So, it's important that when you get your opportunity to conversation with her, you are ready to be interesting and on point.

Step 2: Get Her Attention

If you know what makes a lady turn round and take notice, this phase should be straightforward. If, for example, all you can think about is the periodic table or your collection of stamps, and you decide to share this with her, there's a good chance she'll be bored stiff (unless she's a geek too, in which case, well done!). Do keep in your mind, that a girl must choose to have a conversation with you before the conversation even happens. Approach confidently, and if things develop, have a ready strategy of things to discuss when you are with her. Planning is vital.

When a lady is tired with the conversation you are having, her concentrate will wane. She may look around in search of her buddies, or she could exchange looks with other people around. Look out for these signs. The point is, if you are tedious, she will not voluntarily offer you with her number when you ask. She may even decide that she is done with the conversation even before you can ask.

Step 3: Let Her Talk About Herself and Listen

A great way for making a girl carry on the interaction when you approach you is to let her do the hard work - the talking. No one ever got into trouble by being a great listener. You are not just going to ask any random question, every question must be a way to get her to speak. Take a genuine interest, and she'll be happy to answer. Use different questioning techniques, steer clear of ones that are likely to elicit a yes/no or one word answer. A question is a excellent one if it gets her discussing and describing her thoughts and feelings.

You could break it down with a practical conversation subject, such as why she is in that particular evening club. You can even start with a query that gets her inquisitive, like asking her what her clothes say about her personality. Keep it fun.

If you can accomplish all these, then you'll have a good chance of giving you her number at the end of the conversation.
