It should come as no surprise that owners love their pets. Indeed many people feel that their beloved pet is their soul-mate, the one creature in this world who gets them, listens without interruption, loves without judgement and accepts their flaws without question. So what happens when a single pet lover meets somebody who doesn’t like pets?
Some people say they would never give somebody who didn’t love animals a second look. Others are prepared to give that person a chance to grow to love pets — after all sometimes a dislike for something is merely a result of not being exposed to it. Then there are those who feel the need to make a relationship conditional upon whether the dog/pet likes this new person and vice versa.
What have your experiences with this type of situation been? Have you ever dated a non-pet person? How about somebody who likes pets, but could never own one due to severe allergies? Would you consider being with a non-pet person or an individual who has terrible allergies? What do you think a person’s attitude towards pets says about them? Let’s settle down for an afternoon of relationship chit-chat. We would love to hear your stories, so please feel free to comment (even anonymously) if you’d like! Or share your thoughts over here. xo
All animal lovers have compassion and that makes them great dates. It’s okay to go out with people who don’t love animals, as long as they don’t abuse them! Online dating sites like plentyoffish.com are great places to find people with specific interests.
I wouldn’t even consider seriously dating someone who didn’t LOVE animals or was allergic. There will ALWAYS be MULTIPLE animals in my house. I am so passionate about rescuing animals, I really need to find someone who feels the same.
For this, I recently joined an online dating site, specifying that the only people who message me should LOVE animals (and not those who like the idea of dogs, but who actually love being around them).
