One of my pals met a guy a few weeks back. He seems nice enough and they get along pretty well but he says he doesn't want any pets, ever. He doesn't hate animals, he's just not a pet person. She is and always has been. She is moving into a new home shortly and planned on getting a Golden Retriever or a Lab. They are both looking to settle down, so this may be a dealbreaker.
Would it be a deal breaker for you? Would you end it now and not waste any more time or would you keep going just to see what happens?
First of all, if she just met this guy "a few weeks back" she shouldnt even be considering or thinking of anything along the lines of him not wanting to ever have a pet. She definitely needs to clear up her thinking in that regard.
As far as me dating someone who didnt want pets ever. I wouldnt be concerned with it because we are just dating. If things got serious, then thats an issue that would be worked out at that time. But just dating? Waste of time, energy and thought to be worried about it, especially if they just met a few weeks back. Thats crazy.
I'm thinking she'll get more satisfaction, fun and loyalty from the Lab or the Golden than from the guy. It's going to be her home? Yeah, get the dog, dump the dude.
It would be a deal-breaker for me. But since me and my hypothetical new friend have only known each other a few weeks, I wouldn't modify my current behavior to try to curry favor with him. If I had planned to get a dog, and I wanted a dog, I'd tell him I was getting a dog. If he wants to keep dating me, then we'll know how much smoke he was blowing. If not, good riddance.
She needs to be who she is. Being anything less would be a dishonest representation of herself that would ultimately only lead to heartache down the road. That's what dating is all about!
Bascially one partner does not have the right to impose responsibilty on another. if she wants pets then look elsewhere is what I say altho in do have pets. But my wife and I agreed.
OMG! To me that would be like saying you couldn't breath or you could never drink water or walk....life in prison a bleak and dreary life of grey and black. Hold my head under water and choke the life out of me with no pets ug
However if I didn't have a pet, I would be willing to negotiate and perhaps delay acquisition for a while. But I wouldn't agree to never. I would be reasonable.

I've posted this before but its worth posting again. If a woman can't accept this dude on the couch then she's not worth it...especially because you can clearly tell he ain't moving.
That is the cutest cat I've seen in a long time!! You may want to put your dirty socks away before you shoot a pic!
