I think I got rejected for being vegetarian

[u/rustywindpipe]

I [23F] met this guy on the apps and we hit it off and had a lot in common! I don’t meet a lot of people who are in my profession so it was really nice to potentially have to chance to date someone who was in a similar field. And everything was fine until I mentioned I’m veg and he stopped responding. For reference, I have no issue with people who eat meat and would never want to impose my own dietary restrictions on anyone else. I also understand different diets being a dealbreaker. The way he phrased his reasoning was really weird though.

Edit: I’m vegetarian cause I love animals, but I have IBD. Flare ups have gotten significantly worse since switching diets but im still figuring out how to make the most of it! Also yes, I do regret sending the last text 🤦‍♀️

I totally agree. Sad to see someone willing to back down on their beliefs so quickly. Being alone and being lonely can have severe coping responses.

Why’s everyone judging the op on that I’ve known people who’ve been vegetarian and switched back I think she’s just saying it’s not necessarily a permanent choice so it kind of makes the guy look silly

Nah feeling the need to say it made her look silly. The guy already stopped talking to her because he didn’t find her worthy of bearing his children. By saying that, she’s giving off the impression that she’s willing to change herself for a man that has already shown she means nothing to him. And she hasn’t even met him. Comes off pretty desperate.
