I know two married couples where one partner went vegan while the other remained a meat eater. Not only does this caused tension and arguments, but where kids are involved, it can get pretty difficult:. Okay, enough of the horrible visuals already.
But really, the reality is that single vegans should look to date vegan, if that is they don't want to run into the aforementioned issues later down the line. In my opinion, if you can't agree that cruelty to animals is unnecessary, and that meat and dairy is unnecessary in maintaining a healthy diet, it doesn't bode well for a successful, loving future together.
You need to start off on a similar pathway. Of course you remain independent people, but when you share so much of your life with someone it makes sense that you need to be mentally and ethically on the same page. A person looking for romance who shares my love of animals and plant-based foods? Enter vegan dating, well, vegetarian and vegan dating, because most sites combine the two groups.
While the big players like Match. Mind you though, not all are created equally, as I found out in my research. Indeed, some hardly have any members and, despite some looking the part, many don't appear active at all. Meetmindful is a huge dating website for people who share values like health and wellness, mindfulness, fitness and conscious eating.
It has a focus on community and meaningful connections, with advanced filtering that enables you to specify the exact lifestyle partner you are and aren't looking for — such as the vegan filter! The site isn't strictly for vegans of course, but mindful living and conscious eating complement each other and are other synonymous. So naturally there's plenty of vegans and vegetarians on there looking for friendship, romance and love!
A free MeetMindful account enables you to complete a detailed profile with up to 6 photos and a questionnaire, and allows you to view 10 daily matches. You can like up to 3 of your daily matches, and if they like you back, you can message them for free and start the conversation. That's good going because other dating sites only allow browsing on the basic membership. You'll also receive Matchmaker emails each week, which are auto-generated with potential dates based on your criteria.
It's a community within itself that boasts a forum, blog and regular polls for its members.
The site is user friendly, albeit a tad out of touch with modern design expectations, with the ability to add up to 52 photos and revise your profile at the click of a button. Since then, we have traveled over 30, miles combined to see each other. He proposed to me 4 days ago on July 23rd.

Her being from Indonesia, and I from the US, I couldn't imagine this as being more than a nice pen-pal kind of relationship.
Over the next few months, we found we shared many values, so I flew to Indonesia and spent 3 weeks getting to know her in person, meeting family, and getting a feel for the culture of her homeland. We spent nearly a year communicating online before her fiance visa was approved, so we had lots of time to learn more about each other and to probe all the non-physical aspects of a relationship. On February 28th, she and her son Richard arrived here in Honolulu. On April 13th, we were married, but we both feel that we were married in a more personal way back when we were together in Indonesia.
I think that the values that brought both of us to veggieconnection were more fundamental predictors of relationship success than anything an eHarmony or the like could ever come up with.
We're looking forward to many adventures together and to spend the rest of our lives together. He was looking for someone in England and found my profile by accident.

We quickly came to realize that our first impression was right and that we are indeed meant for each other. We are now preparing for me Giannis to relocate to Singapore and for us to get married and happy there.
We are grateful to veggieconnection and we both would like to encourage people around the vegetarian community and beyond to become a member of this great community. We would like again to thank this site, because its truly a wonderful job done. At first, doubts clouded our hearts as to whether or not we could find what we were looking for. In the end, our similarities of being vegetarians and open minded families have allowed us to become a couple of perfect lovers.
