Incredibly nervous.
Have you ever dated someone with a visible disability?
Incredibly nervous.
I have when I was in my twenties I meant this girl who had no arms and no legs because of the defect when she was born she was very very beautiful on the inside and the outside I dated her for all the wrong reasons it's because I felt bad one night we were having a talk and she said she'd never been with a guy and she probably would never ever get to be with a guy and just the way she said it broke my heart two or three days later I asked her out we started kind of dating one thing led to another and we dated for probably about 2 months I was supposed to meet up with her one night one place and I was out of town working and I wasn't going to get back in time I called up a cousin of mine and I asked him if you could pick her up for me he said yes he actually was. My cousin at one time he was married to my cousin. Just called in my cousin too but anyway picked her up for me he called me up and asked me if he could take her to dinner and I said yes the next day he calls me up and said he's totally in love with her he asked me a bunch of questions and how serious I was they said she's just a very good friend I like her and he said I want to date her he said he didn't know what to do I talked to her that day and then I asked her what about my cousin she just told me that she really liked him in that he was very cool and he had a bunch of Dreams and she said he was cute and they told her that he really really likes her and she looked at me and she stood up and she said hug me and I give her a big hug and she goes you are the nicest guy in the world and I want to thank you for everything you've done for me she said that I showed her how to be happy again and showed her what she needed her life and that I would always be a true friend she said that I gave her her confidence back and they said it sounds like you're breaking up with me and she said we were never together we are deeper than together we will always have each other and I said well you're right and I said I don't want to hurt you I would never hurt you but I can see something in your eyes and I can hear something in my cousin's voice and she hugged me again she said you were just a beautiful man it's like we had this understanding we both never came straight out and set it until the day that my cousin and her got married and they were toasting each other and she said my name and thank you and at very bunch of some kind words she had everybody in tears it was just so very beautiful But to answer your question yes I have
Kind of
We never dated but we did have romantic feelings for each other we just never went to the next level but anyways she was paralyzed from the waist down I don't know if you would call that a visible disability or not but in some ways I think that counts
I was in an apple store buying my phone, waiting to transfer files. A good looking man in a wheelchair came up to me from behind and held out a white rosebud with a little stem.
I looked and noticed it was off the bush outside. Everyone in the store watched this. “For you.” He said. Smiled. Then left the store.
Not sure the situation that had him notice me prior, as I was distracted, but he had my attention. If I had been single or he had asked. I still have the rosebud in my truck, as it was such a genuine sweet and innocent gesture.
Aww.
He was missing half his ring finger after the lawn mower cut back on... but i didn't care cause he was still fine af, fun af, goofy af, sweet af, and just everything af. Plus he still had enough of his finger to fit a ring. And there was one other who’s babysitter dropped him off the balcony “by accident”. He was paralyzed waist down since childhood but was still fine af and cool af and strong enough to even do handstands in his wheelchair

I never have, but I absolutely would. The way I see it: if the person is someone who is kind, lovely, and otherwise someone whose personality attracts you... and you click with them. I think it would be insane to let something like a bit of a limp (or any disability really) keep you from seeing where things might go. 🙂
Trust me after serving 18 years of my life in the military the first 6 years as US ARMY SCOUT SNIPER I resigned and then the last 12 years as a USAF PJ to honor My Stepfather as well. All time in before retiring from Iraq and Afghanistan was 18 Years I Spoke fluent English, German, Russian before I ever left HighSchool and learned Arabic, Pashtun and Farsi during time in the middle east.
Damn. You've been busy
Nope. Dated people with mental issues and disorders but not a visible disability.
If your happy , a physical disability shouldn't affect a realationship , not as you explain it ,
Well, she had a "disability", but it wasn't common, it was under treatment (which was painful for her) , and people typically wouldn't know about it since it wasn't obvious such as a missing limb would be.
No, I've never had this experience. If he was lovely and kind his disability doesn't make a difference.
Yes, both of my ex-GFs had mental health disabilities
Genuine or are you diagnosising!
@lilyanony1 Yes, diagnose by a doctor
No, I have never done that. I would not be adverse to it.
He sounds awfully sweet.
He is... Maybe the nicest shyest guy I've ever dated. X
nope, not interested in dating people with disability either.
No, if I falling love than why not.
No, but I’d date anyone I liked.
If you like the guy the defect won't matter.
If vitiligo counts.
I'm not sure it does... But perhaps if they experienced prejudice and discrimination that might make them feel like society views them differently.
I find this condition rather interesting since the patterns the skin creates are specific to the individual (artist here)
I understand xx
How’s vitiligo a disability? haha
i have
