Folks, this forum is Relationships, and this thread is about dating a vegetarian--or generally, about dating someone with a very different lifestyle than one's own. (It's also nearly four years old.) The topic is not about the merits of vegetarianism or veganism; please take that debate to the Food and Drink forum.
Thanks!
Well, nobody thinks discussing the merits of smoking or non-smoking is wrong on threads about dating smokers. This one is not any different.

Yep. If those discussions only focus on health risks, then I'll say the same thing. If the thread ceases being about relationships at all, it is in the wrong place.
Out of the ordinary? The scenario I gave was roughly based on myself. I don't have a car and on Friday, I had to ride with a friend and he happened to have leather seats in his car. It was no big deal to me. But I wonder what a vegan would do.
As for "most" seats being cloth or vinyl, it depends on the car. My parents both drive luxury cars that automatically come with leather. My brother's car is leather too (although it's not luxury).
And of course you wouldn't buy something if you're allergic to it. But I've never heard of a leather allergy. You're a female (I think) but for males, it's hard to find a wallet that's not leather.
I'm sure not all vegans have a problem with animal products, they just don't EAT them. Some may have an issue with it, and some may not. By the way? I don't carry a wallet, I have pockets.
oh I thought this was thread was 'I just can't date a virgin'....damn..misread it again!!!
since im here already..I personally wouldnt date a Vegan due to it affecting my ability to go to certain restaurants, and potentially affect my overall lifestyle..call me selfish if you must
Dating a Vegan wouldn't bother me as long as she understood that I'm an omnivore. There will be much meat in my refrigerator and freezer.
The problem with many lifestyle differences is that many people not only want to practice something, but preach it and force it on the other person, even if what the other person does doesn't concern them or "endanger" them in any shape or form.

I know. It'd be pretty difficult for me to date a Vegan if they try to press her ways onto me.
While she never explicitly tried to "convert" me, she sure made dining together unpleasant. I unashamedly eat my steaks rare, and every time we ate out, she would make this big production about having to prop up a menu between my plate and hers to serve as a partition that kept my food from being visible to her.
Apparently it was that traumatizing for her to watch me eat a steak the way it's meant to be eaten while she nibbled on her rabbit food.
