Vegan dating: make the first date feel easy

A shared approach to food can help you start a conversation. A simple plan can make meeting someone easier too.

Talk about what your choices mean to you

Be clear about whether you are vegan or vegetarian and what matters to you in a partner. Ask the other person about their own preferences without assuming you agree on everything.

Agree on a place together

Look at a menu together before choosing a public café or restaurant. Check directly with the venue if you have particular dietary needs. A short daytime meeting can leave plenty of space for conversation.

Make it about more than the menu

Ask about a favourite weekend, a place they would like to visit or something they enjoy learning. Sharing food choices can start the conversation; getting to know the person gives it somewhere to go.
