When you first find out that your hot date is a vegan, it can come as a bit of a shock. It could be mainly because all vegans wear tie-dyed clothes and illegal tree-top camps, but your date looks normal and attractive even. You must have faced serious dinner disappointment in your first date itself and you find their idea of what constitutes a tasty treat baffling. And wondered if they have evolved different taste buds to other types of people. "Are you seriously just eating a big bowl of peas and sweetcorn? For fun?" But dating a vegan may not be that bad as long as you know what to expect. These tips will prepare you for a vegan date.

Always Carry a Pack of Chewing Gum

Be Open to Experimenting With Food

Vegans are extremely food-focussed. If you search the vegan hashtag on Instagram, you will find the feed bombarded with lunch shots. And now that you will date a vegan, you can expect to be introduced to some vegan fare. Don't panic. Some plant-based like seitan, nutritional yeast, chlorella might sound a bit foreign, but your vegan food experiment but just turn out to be damn exciting.

Stay Flexible

Keeping up with the social life can be quite difficult for vegans. Barbecues and dinners at house parties can be hard to eat on the fly so don't be surprised if your vegan partner is packing a package of hummus at all times. Since you're a pair now, your lifestyle would be impacted too. Stay flexible and try not to get too hangry in the dinner parties. Can Swapping Vegan Diet For The Carnivore Diet Help You Lose Weight And Improve Your Sex Life?

Respect Their Boundaries

Just how they would not expect them to ditch meat, you cannot expect them to binge on seafood. That said, dating a vegan may need a bit more compromises than you're used to. From simple things like choosing a restaurant to bigger decisions like whether or not they are comfortable with meat in the house, the plant-based lifestyle offers up complexities. So talk it out with your partner and find a comfy middle ground. Make it clear if you want to have separate pots and pans in the house.

Just remember that all it takes to date a vegan is an open mind and an open heart and maybe a box or two of vegan condoms because it is always a good idea to stay prepared!
