    I knew she was vegan because she had it on her profile. We went to a bar/restaurant and she was like “yeah I can’t eat anything here, I’m not hungry anyway.”

    I kind of feel like that there might have been the problem. Does loads of great vegetarian / vegan restaurants especially in New York. Like 10 seconds of googling to show that you actually paying attention to what she’s saying could have gone a long way.

      I forgot to mention that this wasn’t in NYC, but when I moved back home to South Jersey. We never actually agreed on getting dinner, just meeting up at some place. I hadn’t been on a date down there in like 18 years so I didn’t know of a good adult spot, so I chose a place I knew that served both dinner and had a full bar. Also she didn’t live or work in my city, so I chose one of the few I knew that was on her way home (worked in one city but lived in another). I mentioned it beforehand and she agreed, if she didn’t like it she could have said so beforehand, everything isn’t up to me. It’s annoying when people agree to something then complain about it later.
