I think you and I have had this discussion
If I were vegetarian and you tried to get me to eat meat my reply would be curt in the extreme

I wouldn't shove meat down a vegetarian's throat
and the one time I changed a vegetarian I was remorseful in the extreme. I still think they're wrong though

Two questions
Why do you think they're wrong? And why did you do it if it made you so remorseful?

because she can't back down when she thinks she is right

You may have a point :)
I only did it as a joke, but because he was going out with me and mumbling about love he did it.

Edit: to clarify I didn't do anything really horrible, like ask him not to be a vegetarian, or threaten to stop dating him. I did offer him a piece of one of the best steaks I've ever had.

Fair enough
If it was only an offer then it's his decision whether to stick by his beliefs or try to impress a girl

I still felt terrible
because we split up a month or two later

Well, I wouldn't offer Ms Foxtrot meat
because I know her well enough to know it would be faintly insulting. But I fucking well SHOULD know that much by now. You weren't to know how he'd react, really
