Dating omnis, but want to marry a veg*n?

Question

I am in highschool. I am currently one of the few vegetarians, although most of them are fakeatarians. I don't know if there are any vegans at my school. when I'm old, I want to marry a veg*n, but since I don't want to not date during highschool would i be hypocritical if I date omnis, but don't marry them?

Answer 1

It's not hypocritical to date omnis. By the time you graduate this fad might be over and you might be an omni yourself. Never say never. From the look of things you had better take what you can get

Answer 2

What is the purpose of dating him if you KNOW you will not marry them?

Answer 3

it's perfectly fine to date in highschool without any intention of marrying.  if they're a decent person, why not have a relationship, it's just highschool anyways

Answer 4

No, not at all!!  Times change, people change - people become enlightened over time.

Date and have fun.  Stick to your own principles and be a good example.  DO NOT preach to or try convert your omnivorous beaus.  Just let them see you leading a good life, not being judgmental, etc.  You might just be surprised at what happens.

Thank you for saving your health, the animals, and the planet.  I respect you.

Answer 5

Naw, just make sure it doesn't get serious. Taking a date to a dance and not actually dating them is no crime so I see no reason you can't explore around a little with some dates while not getting too serious before graduating. Just make sure you are clear on how you feel about a future with the person you're getting know. You'll probably break some hearts in this process, but hey it is high school so have fun while you can.

Answer 6

You should date freely and as you please. It's High School - enjoy this time, it goes fast!  Plus, what's to say that someone you date might not convert to vegetarianism or veganism? What's a fakeatarian?

Answer 7

i originalyl wanted to marry a vegan too, but i'm really in love with my now fiance, whos a carnivore, but i know eventually, hes going to be vegetarian. it just takes time. its more important on how they share your beliefs, and how compassionate they are, dontcha think? peace and love<3

Answer 8

When you're in high school, you very, very rarely think about marriage.  Just go ahead and date, it's not hypocritical.  You'll date many people that you would absolutely refuse to marry, for reasons shallower/more profound than what they choose to eat.  Many parents of immigrant children are OK with their children dating outside of their race, because they know that it's only temporary.  You're still discovering yourself, and you will change.  In the meantime, dating many people, with the expectation that you won't marry, will make you a more empathetic person.

Also, you should never, ever marry with the expectation of changing someone (as someone in an earlier post said), because he will only resent you.

Short Response: you're in high school, you shouldn't think of marriage yet, go for it.

Now, for the question that you'll have to think about: would you kiss him?  Like right after he had a meal?  Or after he brushed his teeth?
