"Are you going to order
"Are you going to order meat? Because if so I probably won't be able to kiss you any more tonight."
I looked at her to make sure she was serious, and she was.
We were sitting in one of my favourite Chinese restaurants. I'd met her a couple of days previously, and this was the first time we'd hung out. She was a sexy vegan with perfect lips, beautiful eyes and a body that I was having trouble keeping my hands off. We'd already made out once that evening, and I'd really been enjoying our sexual chemistry.
"I usually don't kiss boys who eat meat at all," she continued.
"Why not?" I said. "For political reasons?"
Just then a friendly server arrived to take our order. I stared down at the menu, and here's what went through my mind:
"Who does she think she is? I'm buying dinner. I know what's good for my own body. Right now I'm thinking curry beef. If I order vegetables on her account, it will look like I'm so desperate to kiss her again, which is kind of pathetic. Plus, I'm asshole enough to believe that she'll make out with me anyway.
"On the other hand...
"I invited her here in the first place specifically because I knew there would be vegan food. I am strong enough to be a gentleman and to take a woman on a date and make her comfortable. Plus, if I order curry almond mixed vegetables, it will show that I'm definitely expecting to kiss her again, which would be kind of flirty. Anyway, it doesn't really matter what I choose because everything at this restaurant is good."
Now, what do you suppose I did? What would you have ordered if you were me?
Comments
I'd order the meat. If you wanted to eat meat, you should eat meat, regardless of what she thinks. If you wanted to be a real prick, you could order 3 meat plates for yourself at the same time, and tell her "for every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three"
I probably would have done that. Sex is one thing, but the reaction some people exhibit after hearing something they don't like can be far more entertaining sometimes.
