  • Until one day something crazy happened.

  • I found a girl online, and I liked her.

  • I took her on a date, and all of a sudden she says, I'm vegetarian.

  • I thought to myself, Crap, I like this girl.

  • But eating out with her is going to be difficult.

  • Day after day after day, we would go in deeds and she would order avocado and I would order stick and she would whisper.

  • I disagree.

  • She ate her own and I eight months, but her small influence on my food was like water hitting my rock.

  • And after hundreds of meals and hundreds off waves, my rock started changing, and one day I woke up and realized that I no longer eat meat I was shocked.

  • I don't know why I stopped because I love steak.
