I don't think that being in a wheelchair will prevent someone from dating you but it can prevent people from approaching you.
It would be a lie to say that people aren't superficial and that they look past these things and all.. the truth is whenever someone finds himself in a situation where they are somehow set apart from the others, most people become reluctant to approach them. The good thing is you shouldn't care about those people because you don't need such close minded people around you.
Now I think you should look past this. Talk to people, be as sociable as you can, and then you will see for yourself if the wheelchair is the issue.
There are girls in their twenties who, like you, are complete virgin and the main reason is that they are very introverted, don't make it easy for people to approach them and don't approach people at all.

I know I'm a girl, so I probably have a different opinion to guys.
But, I would say being in a chair wouldn't affect wanting to date someone or not. Definitely not for me at any rate. I can understand how someone who may not know you may be more hesitant to approach you, as they may be nervous or worried about behaving badly. But I think if someone knows you, they won't be focusing on the chair and would consider dating you for sure.
You're still only 18, I know tones of girls (and guys) who are in the same position of never even being kissed. If you don't worry about the wheelchair, then I bet it'll be much less of an issue, especially with people who know you.
Good luck
You have a good chance finding love, and those that do not pay attention to you just because you are in a wheelchair, probably aren't even worth your time.
I am not saying they are shallow, but they are just not for you. I belive if there is a guy that you will find a good connection with, it will be a much more deep and satisfying relationship than smthg only based on physical attraction. Love is love, and one can't controll it ;) I am sure the right guy will come along .
I would, but I imagine it's hard for you to get close to guys because of your predicament.
As terrible as this sounds though, I would question to myself whether you were physically capable of sex. So it would make things even more difficult for approaching you because of such an awkward and impersonal question (better to be thought a pig than to speak and remove all doubt). As a result, I would end up perma-sticking myself in your friend zone unless you pretty much seduced me (then you would open up a world of possibilities with me). A wheelchair would not matter if I ended up coming to love you (yes, I would end up proposing to you).
It may be shallow, but I can't see myself going without sex in a relationship. I want a girl who sexually craves me (because I will be craving her like crazy).
yeah I can't see myself approaching a girl in a wheelchair on first sight...but maybe if I gt to know her and all that I could ask her out but it's a stretch.
i've seen some really pretty women in wheelchairs but I don't know the thought of dating doesn't just come to my mind first when I see a woman in a wheelchair...
i think it's cause I wouldn't know how accessible they are and how's the life style people in wheelchairs are used to.
i think I'd definitely take the "friends first" approach and then move to the physical stuff.
(i'm sorry if its rude or something)

A big reason why I never dated a girl with a disability, is that I'm afraid of being called names or accused of being a pervert.
It's not that I have anything against women with disabilities, it's that I'm afraid of my buddies being like, "Hey look at him, he goes for gimps! What's next, Helen Keller?" Excuse the language. I'm just being blunt.
At the end of the day, I think beauty comes in many forms. Like anything else, women are a sum of all parts. It might be more difficult to do some things, but I would give a girl in a wheelchair a chance, if I thought she was something special.
So yes, I would date a girl in a wheelchair.Of course I would. In a heartbeat would I date, love and marry a woman in a wheelchair. It is your age that serves you with doubt for boys do not yet see with there hearts only there eyes. In time you will find a man who loves you for who you are and he will not see your physical restraints...
Your wheelchair will certainly push away a certain type of people but there is many... many that will see YOU and don't care about that wheelchair.
I know many guys would date you but perhaps they don't know how to approach you.
I think that perhaps you need to be the one who initiates contact. Many girls just wait to be approached.
Don't let your wheelchair define you as a person.
You are so much more than that.nothing against you, but I've met a lot of bitter women that were in wheel chairs. it mostly just has to do with there attitude and how big there heart is. looks are somewhat important, but a woman simply being in a wheel chair isn't a big enough reason for me to not date her.
so to answer your question. I would a woman in a wheel chairCertainly. My current girlfriend was born with Cerebral Palsy and spends most of her time in a wheelchair, or on crutches outside of the wheelchair. It is certainly a different experience, but something I will never regret. I don't see her wheelchair or her crutches as a part of her, but an obstacle in her way, and something she has to overcome and I'm there beside her helping her through it. The bond that's been formed between the two of us is unlike anything I ever thought possible
I am dating a girl with CP who is in a wheelchair, i was hesitate as hell as first, hung out with her a few times, as i noticed my self falling for her, the fact she was in a chair dodnt bother me. But it took a few heart breaks, and me to stop being so shallow to realise it. One day a guy will see yiu for you, and not your chair. Like i did with my girl. I adore her and would do anything for her.
P. S. Sex with a girl she spends all her time in a wheel chair is by far the best thing ever (To all you guys;) let her win your heart, and you'll be the best sex of your life afterwards.)If I can be honest I must admit that I might not be instantly attracted to someone in a wheelchair. If I however would get to know you and I´d fall for your personality than the wheelchair wouldn´t be a deal breaker.
But again to be honest, I don´t think that I would come up to you if I didn´t know you or any of your friends. On the other side, I can barely walk up to any unknown girl without shutting down.I would, yes. I think you will find someone too who will not mind this about you at all as well. If you are a good person, and they are also physically attracted to you, I don't think it will be me as much of a problem as you might think.
I'll be honest when I say that a girl in a wheelchair is unlikely to catch my eye. But I could see myself dating one. It's certainly not a deal breaker.
I want to say that's not the reason. But it could very well be, some people are very superficial in that way.
I had a sort of relationship with a girl in a chair, wasn't really dating. she was cool with me
I would yes but I'm also in a wheelchair so that would be practical, I can't speak for other guys.
If we connected then no problem, can you feel sex though cause I might feel a bit guilty if you can't?
Are you permanently in the chair? Where you born with a disability?
i feel your pain, eventhough I'm not in a wheel-chair, I'm a complete virgin too at age 22
fuck no... why would i date a wheelchair girl when i can date a normal girl.. not gunna lie here.
Yes I would most definitely
possibly if she was close to my age
Yes
-------sorry, I would never
