Finding Love: Veggie Style
You're a vegetarian, but you live in the world. You're tolerant. You roll with all sorts of people. You've even gone with biz colleagues to Smith and Wollensky and ordered the most excellent baked potato with all the trimmings, the Ugly Ripe Tomato, creamed spinach, baby Cajun potatoes, whipped potatoes, onion rings, roasted oyster mushrooms, broccoli, a mixed green salad, mac and cheese. And actually made your quiet point — and your dining companions very, very jealous.
But when you leave the restaurant, maybe someone you fancy walks you home. You reach the door. You're tolerant, you're compassionate, you live in the world. But when your companion moves in for the kiss, something in you screams, 'Get off my face with your puckering greasy chicken lips!'
People, not every vegetarian out there is a shambling hippie who wears socks with sandals, even in winter. (Those are the real catches - MIT math geniuses, Silicon Valley zillionaires on the spectrum, organic farmers - but that's another story. Maybe later. )
So why not weed out old Chicken Lips before you go on a date and check out these match-up sites? We’ve heard of couple marriage proposals and a whoop- ass load of propositions. Sure beats Tinder. But remember: this is still dating and all’s not necessarily fair etc.
We'll be adding to this list, so come back soon.
