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.
What did the barber say? "Next!"
I don't like my steak rare, so I wouldn't go that far. I do enjoy a medium-medium well steak, so pink in the middle "as it always should be! " is what I like to see when I cut into the steak. I also don't like using any kind of sauce with it. If the steak is prepared right, the flavor will be enough to satisfy me.
I know. It'd be pretty difficult for me to date a Vegan if they try to press her ways onto me.
Those conversations would be hilarious.
"Only eat these vegetables!!"
"If, by vegetables, you mean this sausage..."
It's enough to get some disgusted look when you eat. Most people who are into this are highly judgmental. It's not enough for them to eat what they want. They're out there to crucify (think PETA) and prevent you from enjoying your life.
Not much different than the non-smoking Nazis. These 2 groups probably overlap big time anyway.
And for the record, PETA doesn't throw paint on fur wearers. What we suggest is giving them an earful while handing them one of these nifty anti-fur business cards, or maybe encouraging them to display one of these wonderful little warning labels:

Well, people, I don't give a rat's patootie about your feelings about fur! Leave me the hell alone!
"You're not really going to eat that, are you??"
"Om nom nom nom nom nom. Yeah, I just did.."
I'm so mellow, I wouldn't care about her disgusted look on her face. If I enjoy something in any way, I'm going to do so whether they mind it or not. Mind you, most of the things I enjoy in life probably aren't deal-breakers, but in the scenario of me on a date with the vegan, and her reacting the way she probably would, she'd be on her way out by the time I order an appetizer.

Pikantari, you might want to read Frances Moore Lappe's "Diet for a Small Planet.
She discusses in some depth the theory of balancing proteins to be sure you're
getting an adequate amount in a vegetarian diet (I forget if it's strict vegan or
ovo-lacto.)
The *real* extreme vegans are the ones who won't eat honey because we're
enslaving and stealing from the honeybees. They'd be in REAL trouble if they
came out against anything produced through pollination I guess!
It was that she was an inflexible, psycho nut job.
There are perfectly nice vegans and vegetarians out there who are mature enough to realize that one's beliefs do not have to constantly be foisted on others.
That being said, I did have a relationship with a vegetarian once, and it was a bit irritating at meal times to have to make different things, etc.
I was a strict vegan for over 25 years. I married a carnivore 11 years ago, and we worked it out. Now I eat meat sometimes, and we eat veggie sometimes. You just work this stuff out, one way or another – no big deal, really. Relationships are about working stuff out – why marry a clone?
I don't really get along with people who make a deal about their dietary preferences. If someone didn't tell me, I'd probably never notice what they eat. But strangely enough, every vegan I've ever met makes a point to tell everyone they are vegan. LOL.

Probably because you, or other people, are trying to feed them meat.
