Drop him. My brother dropped woman he’d been seeing bc of the same issue. Me… I could go the rest of my life without even seeing a dog.LoL kudos to all that love them 
Did you ever ask why he hates dogs? Was he attacked or was a family member attacked by an dog? His hatred may be based on a childhood event or fear. If you haven’t asked why, you should. Then make your decision whether or not his attitude is a deal breaker.
Re-reading your comments, I wonder: haven’t you already made up your mind about your friend? If the answer, as I suspect is yes, why are you asking for help with your decision? Go with your very strong feelings.

Yup. My dogs aren’t going anywhere
Umm no one good who hates dogs is worth wasting you time on. Like eww how can you hate something so innocent
Look you said you have fun with him. No harm enjoying yourself.
Never trust anyone who doesn’t like dogs, or who your dog doesn’t like. Learned that at a very young age and has held true my entire life.

I mean if there is reason to it then I’d stay and work on it but if he just doesn’t like dogs then bye…
I’m sorry for you. Yes there are people who don’t like dogs. When you see a Child get hurt by a dog you tend to act differently around them… Now I’m not a hater of dogs but our Daughter is married and they have 2 and they are big they have knocked the Children down many times. The dog that hurt my grandchild was my son in laws brother . Our Daughter’s dogs are big had no proper training the minute we come in their house they are all over us. Takes a few minutes to get them off of us. My concern is talk to him find out his problem is with dogs who knows maybe he went thru trama sometime in his life. Talk listen and be honest with your felling. Good luck.

If you know it’s not going anywhere and can’t be a good person and be up front. Don’t “continue to have fun with him until you meet someone else.” That’s just wrong…. And that karma/wrong doing will come back to you.
Why waste your precious time on him? There is a difference between despising dogs and simply not being a fan of them. My daughter has recently ended a relationship with a guy she’s been getting to know after the first time seeing him with his dog. What he says is playing, we both noticed and felt like was abusive. Another example is when I met my now husband of nearly 31 years, he wasn’t fond of cats. I had a fluffy, chunky black long haired Persian that I’d had for 17 years. At 3 weeks of dating, I felt it necessary to let him know there were several things that were deal breakers if we were to continue dating and get serious. One thing was that I loved my cat, I’d had him since I was 2 y/o, and if he wasn’t fond of cats that is fine, but I would never tolerate him or anyone ever mistreating my cat, or any animal. After being around my big cat he took to him fast, said it was the only cat he’d ever not been bothered by.
Must love dogs….it’s a whole deal breaker to not be an animal lover.

If you decide to casually see him, not way should he be near your home. Especially if there are dogs there.

Have you asked why he hates dogs? Maybe he had a bad experience and he’s scared of them. If that’s not the case and he just hates them for no reason isn’t it the same as if you met someone who just hates cats for no reason, would you judge them? So many people don’t like cats but no one judges them for it.
But also, as someone who rescues dogs it would be hard to be with someone who doesn’t want to be around dogs.

If you don’t actually own a dog I don’t see the issue. My husband hates cats and up until the last few years we had 4 x
I dont like dogs, if they’re my own. My boyfriend is a huge dog lover… we get along great though.
I dont like dogs (having as a pet) cause I’m too busy keeping the house cleaning and raising my kids… I dont like the extra work the dog gives me (cleaning up toys and just extra responsibilities) my boyfriend loves the dog so he cares for the dog and we try and teach out kids responsibilities. But if I had it my way, the dog would find a new family… but that’s just me.

Sooner or later there will be a conflict. Better to find someone who’s interests align with yours.

Someone hating dogs is not a red flag he could have previous trauma from one, have you asked him ? as for staying with him could you live a life without having a dog in your home if you can’t that’s your answer, coz I very much doubt he will come around to loving them
I think you have answered your own question

Did he say why? Maybe he was attacked when he was little and its something that can be worked on if the relationship is worth it to you. If he just hates for nothin then nope…get rid of him.
Give him the heave ho
He actually said I hate dogs? That’s troublesome. I mean there’s a difference between not really wanting pets and hating the animal so I mean if he’s just not a fan of having pets dogs in particular then I would continue to hang out maybe. Perhaps he can be rehabilitated I’m not the biggest fan of having animals in my house but I love them.
What is his reasoning? If it’s like traumatic in nature give him a shot that’s a valid reason to not be a fan of dogs but if it’s something completely dumb and you already know it won’t work out anyways I would definitely call off any dating part of your friendship. No reason to risk attachments (on his part) or pregnancy for someone you know ain’t it.
Dude needs to walk. I couldn’t live with an animal hater. Coincidentally, my childhood best friend and I are no longer speaking because she expressed this same hatred of dogs on my wedding day. Doggos come first.

Dump him! He has an evil soul, obviously
I am animal lover,just adore them,so would be really hard for me to date someone who hates them.
I despise snakes. Everything about them scares me and makes me uncomfortable. I’ve never had a bad experience with one but I can’t even look at photos of them too long. Does that make me evil??
Mmm. Yeah, when I started dating my husband, he hated cats. And lizards. And spiders. And bats. And…
(You get the idea…)
I did, and still do, animal rescue. Do we have too many cats? Yes. But, they’re all fat and happy and hubby loves giving me daily updates about his encounters with them (i.e., we have a 6ish week baby. Solid food. Orange tabby. Fat and happy. But, every time he sees hubby, it’s like a bad cartoon and his little legs spin in circles but can’t take off? lol You can almost hear him say, “f*cking hooman!” - my husband has now named that baby Hooman because of it. We have another small, mmmm…I’d say about 4-5 month. She’s tiny. But, fat and happy. She loves bugs. lol I mean LOVES to eat BUGS. She’s in a quarantine room because of her size, and every time one of us goes in, she expects a bug and a belly rub. In that order. Hubby loves telling me how she rolled over for belly rubs, even without a bug. lol).
It took him time. He’s gotten over his issues with bats (my totem animal) and spiders (another of my totems). He catches and releases and we both got each other bat houses at Xmas. lol Different ones, but we both went there. They’re out and he’s planted a moon garden around them.
We also took in a friend’s husky. Hubby’s BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever). He hates snakes, (oh man! We went to a weird animal exhibit a few years back and the gentleman with the snakes asked hubby if he wanted to hold - he froze and I sent him to look at sloths. I held them all! I won’t own them at present because of the threat to other animals and the…I guess radar of indigenous snakes? They know and suddenly I’m unwinding them from door frames and the fire department is being called.) but he’s open to my having reptiles again. I’ve finally talked him into letting me pet and hold an alligator!
I have no fear and that, too, has bothered him. Coyotes will come up and sit by me. I’ll walk up to animals in cactus and start pulling it…
I apologize for being so verbose. It just really hit home for me because I was you! He threatened to leave me if I didn’t get rid of my rescues. I told him prior I did it (rescue, had a lot of animals). And, I stood my ground.
My point is, he may just need some time. Can y’all maybe take a date night and go visit a shelter before dinner? Or, better yet, appeal to his sense of charity and compassion and sign up for volunteer work at a shelter or at an adoption event? Hell, just go to a pet store and walk around. Buy a fish. Start small.
I’ve been married three times. My first lasted less than a year, and that was my supposed HS sweetie (we didn’t date in HS - just how it came to be known in our circles), my second was just barely over a year. I should add, my son’s father was prior to my first marriage, and I was with him, off and on, for four years.
I don’t have a great track record.
What I do have is a beautiful 27 year old son and his wife, 3 grandchildren, a house full of animal love and a true marriage - 14 years together and we just celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary.
There’s always hope. It’s not always cut and dry. We all have baggage. Perhaps his is connected to an injury or something that could be worked through. Could also be he was never brought up with animals. IDK.
But, if you really feel something for him, it should behest that you explore why and whether or not it can be resolved.
What you need to ask yourself is could you leave your dogs for a guy who don’t like dogs

Dating someone is to find out if you’re compatible. Not only does he not like dogs, he would have absolutely no interest in something that you are passionate about and that may become a point of contention. It would be a definite deal breaker for me.

My bf I met 3 yrs ago along with my pit beside me o he made out that he liked felony( my dog) bought him toys the 1st night. Felony even chewed a cord up at his house as a puppy and he didn’t get mad. And let him stay in house and everything, well as time has went on of course Felony is bigger and y’all me and my pup have been thru it, just him and I, he is my baby and I am his human that he worships, he’s spoiled rotten. Anyways, he’s a very good dog, he house trained himself, he doesn’t tear shit up, he minds very well and loves my bf also, right now we live in my house and felony comes in at night to go to bed and sometimes he comes in to take a nap, he actually has a routine lol. Well now all I hear is when we move ain’t no dog gonna be in HIS house, he ain’t having no fenced in yard at HIS house. So I told him hes always stayed inside and bothers nothing so I suppose You will be moving alone to YOUR HOUSE. now mIND you I hear him talk bout him and his x little dog that stayed in and sleep on his pillow with him. Hell no , the fuck! Well I suppose he will live alone. Felony bothers him none and they will play together but the remarks he makes about him and HIS house well he can go alone. I’m willing to bend a little bit I’ve got to get felony use to it. And he’s actually scared of the dark, and comes in at night. Yes I treat him like a human but I can’t help it. So in the near future we will see how this turns out… but ain’t nobody gonna say that shit to me, but like I said I’m willing to bend a little but don’t call my dog names, and say he’s stupid, and he would look great stuffed. Hell naw… So I feel you on this.

If you just play with him until a better choice comes along you may trip and fall into some feelings you don’t want to have plus it’s unfair to play games with him. Sounds like rescuing dogs is a passion of yours and should not be denied. Those animals need you. I too have rescued animals and they come before anyone I date. A more compatible man will come along and maybe you two can share that passion of rescuing together. Wouldn’t that be nice?

If it’s important to you, then I would reconsider this relationship. My dogs bring me so much joy (and annoyance, if I’m being honest, lol) and I can’t imagine potentially having to give them up for a man.
If you like the guy I’d dig a bit deeper and see why he “hates” dogs, if that’s something that you determine won’t change for him then throw the whole man away. Dogs are a gift and we don’t deserve them.
