Exactly! For me, it’s all about having an open mind. I am passionate about food and about cooking so if my partner loved meat but was happy to eat my vegetarian cooking from time to time without the need to add meat, it would be fine. However, if they were so set in their ways that a meal just wasn’t a meal if there was no meat involved, it just wouldn’t work.

I’m happy for you that you have found someone with an open mind. 🙂

More recently I have adopted a more planted-based diet, and he’s happy again to eat my crazy vegan dishes at home and just eat dairy and eggs when we eat out at restaurants. It’s all about finding someone who is willing at least to try new things and see things from your side – and oftentimes they’ll come around to the new diet completely on their own, as what happened with me!

Ideally, though, it’s good that there are places that you, as a vegetarian can meet other people who are like-minded. And thankfully there are places like that. I personally use

Because, for a start, girls date for free, so there are lots of nice girls on there, and it just seems to attract a good crowd, lots of interesting people from all over the world. But I think your willingness to be flexible is great, because we don’t choose who we fall in love with.

Haha, love a boy that can cook! Especially a vego one. 😉

My friend Matt (who you will see pop up in my posts every so often) was similar but in reverse. I never tried to ‘turn him’ and never ranted or raved about vegetarianism, I think I just made him think about it and realise that meat-free food can actually be pretty awesome! And now I have a cooking buddy. =)
