Never, never, never, except never, but never change who you are or what you believe or how you act (within reason

) to "impress" someone else. Let's say you DO go vegan... she maaaaay like you, but if she does, she will like you for being vegan, which is not something you really are... get my drift? Be yourself and be true to that, and if someone doesn't like that, then they are not for you. Never change or live the mask as they say to try and portray someone you are not.

On a related note; I did this! That's right, I went veg for 4 straight months to try to impress a girl back in high school.... the result? She ended up dating a homosexual guy over me and I enjoyed a nice chicken quesedilla.... goes to show you i guess...

well she likes me already she said she thinks im good looking, but I want to show her how much she means to me what i'd do for her... and I think it might make her like me even more maybe even love.

One should not make a life decision because they want to impress someone. If you feel that veganism is the way to go, then do it. This girl is not going to like you any more because you do this for her. In fact, it might make her feel pressured to reciprocate your romantic interest when she may not be experiencing any.

Well I don't think it'll be for life..... uhh whats reciprocate??...

Dude.

Quite simply.

Don't do it.

If you do, for those reasons, then you're in idiot.

The best thing for you to do in this kind of situation is respect her life style, not replicate it. Would you like expect her to eat meat just to make you like her more?

Tell me that isn't silly.

I am a vegetarian but i would never ask for bf to be one. Its not reallya healthy idea to do that. I know i need to get back into eating meat i am anemia cause of the fact that i dont eat vegerian mean i am very iron defecience dont do it. For sure not too impress a girl ok.

It is one thing to be inspired by someone and then to consider it as an option.

Say...this girl doesn't eat meat (or dairy or eggs) - then you might consider reading up on it, and becoming more educated.

I don't think being influenced by someone you care about is a bad thing. I really don't.

Full on changing because of it though? Probably not a wise idea.

However, when you go out to eat with her, it might be a good idea not to choose the ribs!

It is true that if this is a choice of hers that she may be affected by what your choices are.

However, you do have to be true to yourself.

Oh my God why are you people even replying?

People (should) like each other for who the person really is. Not for what they do. You becoming a vegan would make you fake in a way. You're doing it for the wrong reason - to impress someone else. That decision would screw you over. Even if she got with you, your becoming a vegan wouldn't have an impact on it, and it would deteriorate things because you acted a certain way to impress her.

If you have to become a vegan to get her to go out with you, she isn't worth going out with.

She didn't say i have to be a vegan, and people keep saying "fake fake fake" prahps i'd like a new diet.... and I think she'd perfer a vegetarian boyfriend to a meat-eatter because she'd probably feel uncomfortable with me eatting meat around her, kissing her after eatting animal and dairy products... i'd not turn vegan i don't think, that'll be too hard, umm I don't think any of you get why i think I should turn vegetarian, I want to impress her, show her what i'd do for her, make her feel comfortable (by not eatting meat)

You're too young for stuff like this. Find another girl if it's really a problem.

vashti · #13 (**permalink**) 26-07-06, 10:08 PM

Yeah, we get it. We just think that is a dumb reason to become vegan. It is supposed to be about moral conviction.

Don't insult my intelligence.

Now go away.

Also, keep in mind that being a vegeterian is for pussies. Girls dislike pussies other than their own.
