She wasn’t always a vegetarian. Before we could dine in any restaruants in the city, and I wouldn’t have to worry about the menu. I’ve been trying to be very supportive, since she started her new ideal two months ago. I make sure the restaurants we go to are vegetarian, Thai, Indian, or have alot of vegetarian options. Normally when we go out, we share 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and desserts…so basically now, everytime we go out, I am having vegetarian, which I don’t mind. I’ve told her, that while I like vegetarian meals, I have no intentions of being a vegetarian.
But yesterday while we were having a meal, she said, "I am not pressuring you to be a vegetarian. It’s just, don’t you think when they kill an animal, there’s a negative energy, and when you eat that animal, you get that negative energy." I didn’t know what to say. I want to respect her and her ideals, but how can I get her to realize that I won’t be a vegetarian, but will still support her?
WOAH!
I’m vegetarian, and almost vegan, and even I wouldn’t know what to say to that..!
She needs to respect YOUR views, as much as you are respecting hers – she says she isn’t pressuring you to be vegetarian, and yet she comes out with a clanger like that! How are you supposed to react? Start crying and bow at her feet "I SEE THE ERROR OF MY WAYS!!??!"
This is as much about her respecting you as it is about you respecting her – tell her how that statement made you feel, or she wont ever know…!
its easy to date a vegetarian. dont serve her meat.
and tell her to p*ss off if she’s trying to push her views on u.
i dont eat meat either, i think its wrong, but i could give a sh*t less about whether people eat meat around me.

Shes been a veggie for 2 months, just tell he you liked her 2 months ago when she was eating meat and absorbing all that negative energy so she can do the same to you.
You appear to have more than enough empathy, she has no right to tell you, or even suggest to you, what to do. "Suggesting" in a relationship is often open emotional blackmail.
Point out the changes you’ve made, she should be more than happy.
I’ve said before that these conversations should never happen over the meal table, it only leads to confrontation and I would encourage you to address the situation away from a resturant. If you leave it, she will not be able to control herself and will start the conversation up again when you are out.
Best of luck with it.

If she brings that up again say "I support your views, but I don’t really see it that way. There are lots of people who eat killed animals but still have a ton of positive energy."
If she persists and wants you to convert, slap her and break up. And say, for every animal you didn’t eat, I’m going to eat three. Then go do it.

Dump her and find someone that supports your way of life.
