The brainchild of Ottawa vegans Karine Charbonneau and Andy Brighten, Find Veg Love launched in 2017 with a mission to help veg singles meet in person. So why speed dating? \u201cWe\u2019ve been hearing consistently that our customers are tired of swiping \u2013 they want to meet other vegetarians and vegans in the real world,\u201d explains Andy Brighten. \u201cA structured event, run by a trained host, is the best way to make that happen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To eliminate awkwardness, Find Veg Love has designed a unique matching system. Attendees just log into the website and click who they like, during or after the event. \u201cThere\u2019s no judgment or rejection, no pressure to tell your \u2018date\u2019 whether you like them, and no exchanging personal information,\u201d the company explains. Results are confidential and attendees find out whom they match with by midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weeks leading up to Valentine\u2019s, February 6-13, Veg Speed Date events will be taking place in 20 cities across Canada and the United States.
