Katie & Ryan’s story

THEY MET AT VEG SPEED DATE IN PORTLAND!

We had both tried online dating with no success … Neither of us had tried speed dating before.

Ryan and I met at the Portland Veg Speed Date in early February 2018. At the event, I saw him at the back of the room and finally got to chat with him at our 2nd to last interview. We hit it off right away, and discovered we were the only two from Beaverton in the room, and happened to live a 7-minute drive from each other.

We had our first official date at La Vida Veggie in Beaverton, and have seen each other several times a week ever since.

Thank you for making this magical meeting possible! We fit so well together and are very happy!

Kelsey & Zack’s story

THEY MET AT VEG SPEED DATE IN PORTLAND!

We had both tried online dating with no success … Neither of us had tried speed dating before.

My friend persuaded me to go to a Veg Speed Date event in Seattle in February only 2 weeks after moving here. I wasn’t up for it after a recent break up, but figured I could meet some vegan people in my new hometown. Little did I know Zack would be there. He was second to last in the lineup, but I finally got my 5 minutes to chat with him. It was worth the wait! We went on our first date 3 days later and he has been showing me around Seattle ever since.

I am so glad I showed up to this event and met the guy of my dreams! Thank you Find Veg Love!

Teale & Noah’s story

THEY MET AT VEG SPEED DATE IN PORTLAND!

Teale and I hit it off right off the bat when we sat down..

I went into Veg Speed Date with no expectations. I just wanted to have fun, meet people, and get out of my introvert comfort zone. I was not expecting to meet someone I connect with so deeply. I just opened myself up to new possibilities and to my surprise, found Noah. He’s someone I can rely on for encouragement, have philosophical conversations with, or just cuddle up on the couch with watching Netflix. I want to be cliche and say I have no idea how I got so lucky. But, I’m also a realist. Meeting someone special does involve a certain amount of chance. But it’s equally important to set up the right circumstances and be in the right head space. I would definitely recommend Veg Speed Date to anyone who is ready to get out there and make connections.
