finding vegans to be friends or date
Hi there, I am 20+ year vegan and believe in being with like-minded humans as much as possible.
I definitely need vegans in my life as well as a vegan girlfriend.

Re: finding vegans to be friends or date
Hello rachel, welcome to the forum.
It is pretty hard to meet a lot of vegans IRL, but that's why we have the internet right?
Just know that this isn't a dating site, but you're welcome to find like minded people here.
Anyway, what inspired you to go vegan

Re: finding vegans to be friends or date
Welcome veganrachel, I hope you like it here. Simply pursuing your interests and meeting people is probably still the best way to find somebody because you'll already have something in common.
An internet search says there are some vegan dating sites, but I wouldn't suggest paying for anything on the internet, most for pay networking sites are pretty scammy so I'd strongly recommend against buying anything from shady online networks. The thing is that it costs SO LITTLE to run websites like that after development (likely hundreds a month), so they're probably wasting a lot of money on advertisement and making you foot the bill plus profit, when a better network has already obtained viral popularity and can remain free with at worst some advertisement support.
Might be more worthwhile to try the not-specifically-vegan sites and post a classified there and talk about veganism. Some might have key word searches. You might be bugged by non-vegans, but you can always link them to good resources and maybe they'll change their minds (win!).
According to the internets, there's a site called OK Cupid that's totally free, it seems popular for the youngins and it's recommended everywhere as I skim through result, which means they (and thus you) are benefitting from the viral popularity so you're getting a better value. It's a good bet a networking site is bad if they have to advertise a lot because they didn't attract users organically.
However, if you look around you might find some in-person meetups too.
@Red Vegan dating is a good idea for a wiki article.
