Dating a vegetarian

I've been dating my boyfriend a couple of months now and that's right, he's a vegetarian.
I still vaguely remember telling my friends during my first year of polytechnic, "WHICH IDIOT WOULD DATE JD? HE'S A VEGETARIAN LEH.", and tada! It turns out that I'm the idiot who fell for his charms. :)

It was really weird at first because.. to be totally honest, i love eating meat. But thank goodness, he was really nice and told me to just eat whatever I want. yes many will say that problems will surface when the relationship gets longer but let's deal with now first okay? thanks for the concerns :) I guess that's why the reason why I love him so, he did not try to force me to be a vegetarian just so that I could be with him since we both believe that if I were to turn into a vegetarian, it should solely be the better for me and not for him. I had a friend who dated a vegetarian once and she couldn't come close to him because she just ate meat. Isn't that a tad too ridiculous? I guess then that's not love aye.

When I first told my friends that I was dating him, they gave me a really weird expression and this was one of the commonly asked questions from my friends:

1) Where do I go for dinner with him?
It doesn't have to be an all vegetarian restaurant. For him, just as long as the place sells one item that contains NO MEAT then it's fine. My best bet would be Italian restaurants since they do sell no-meat pastas or pizzas e.g. mushroom aglio olio or veggie pizzas. There is also a place that sells vegetarian sushi, Teng Bespoke Japanese Restaurant, holy bazooka I really loved that place!

Dating a vegetarian is not all that bad! According to an article from buzzfeed, one of the perks of dating a vegetarian is that you'll never have to worry about them snatching bacon from you!

So should you shun away if a vegetarian boy or girl falls in love with you?
My answer: wait and see because time will tell.
If the person, unfortunately, starts sending you gore videos of animals being slaughtered just so that you could change your mind about eating meat then obviously I think you should reconsider because I feel that there should be a mutual understanding. And as I have mentioned, such changes should only be the better for yourself and not just for your partner. Date around and see, you'll be opened to many new experiences that you've never had before. Trust me :)

Till then, xoxo.
