I have always been the one with very high standards. I couldn't have imagined falling for a girl that's not perfect enough.

But it all changed. I fell for someone I wasn't even attracted in the beginning. I knew that she has flaws. I knew that she was not the right girl for me. Heck I even knew that she's clearly not my type. But... I fell for her. I couldn't control myself. It just happened.

Only then I found out that you don't need a complete person (let alone your ideal person) to fall in love with. It's just their presence that makes you love your life. Everything looks so beautiful when they're around.

Being mute is a flaw. Yes. I'll never 'hear' "I love you" from her, but it doesn't matter because I'll be 'feeling' her saying I love you.

Why not? Able to hear, and just mute, or deaf, as well? Sorry! That sounds bad, and I am doing it again, typing and saying 'sounds', and 'saying'!!
Maybe she just likes me for being that great guy, with the best intentions, but being a bumbling idiot, just trying to 'talk' to her!! LOL!! Maybe that, alone, breaks the ice, and makes her laugh and smile and like how I am trying!! :)

That's really sweet that so far, 90% of people in the poll say they would be willing to date someone who is mute. It's nice that people are that open-minded and willing to work around someone's disability.

I also feel like I could do that myself. There are a lot of worse problems than not being able to talk. I think that's do-able for a relationship.

I think about that a lot. I like quiet people, I like the fact that there actions have more purpose because the words aren’t there to do anything, so you know the saying actions speak louder than words? There is no need for communication by voice if you are preceptive, it’s a really good skill to have

Xoxocutekitty · Answer

There are a thousand ways to speak kindness, commitment, respect, love and trust that do not involve spoken words. I could fall in love and it would definetely push me to communicate in new ways with my partner. We would definetly have a unique relationship that the "Rest of the world" couldnt listen in on.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

In the wonderful world of love anything is possible & if she was a chatterbox or a mute I would love her no matter what. On the flip side if Lady Luck & myself fell in love & went out on a date & we happen to get arrested does she still have the right to remain silent?

GnarCute · Answer

i know a really nice mute girl on discord named emily she is cute as fuuuuck but sadly im not her type

JSmuve · Answer

In theory, yes, I could fall in love with a mute girl. But the better question is, what's the probability that a relationship with a mute could ever get that far? Probably not that high.
That's why I'm pretty skeptical about all of the people saying yes. Can you imagine a mute guy trying to pick up a girl for a date? It's hard enough when you can speak. I can't imagine the difficulty when you can't. Even doubly so when, as a guy, you're expected to make the first move. Talk about awkward.

HAMD7 · Answer

Yes of course there will be difficulties and problems because your mostly not use to this but learning hand language will be a bonus and it will challenge you to a whole new level. I know I can't change the world but can change her's

broken_heart_at_48 · Answer

Yes I enjoy the quiet plus there's plenty of ways to communicate and before long we would have our own language. You would probably have a very deep connection because of the effort and the kind of focus you would invest in the relationship especially the beginning it would bring you very close I wouldn't see it as a very difficult issue

justjoshokc · Answer

Absolutely! As I've theorized in the past, love is blind. Who am I to pick who I fall in love with? In my experience, I was blindsided by love every single time. Ironically, love has a way of teaching us intuitive, logical solutions to challenges that would otherwise seem insurmountable.

BCRanger10 · Answer

When I was in college, there was a girl in my class who wasn't mute, but she did have a very significant hearing loss. I did think about asking her out, but I didn't.

micmic303 · Answer

I can't see why not. It might mean taking a little longer to communicate oh wait, that's just getting to know someone better. Don't sell yourself short and don't let yourself be disrespected.

Nicolette777 · Answer

I don’t think so. I love talking more than anything. It’s the only way to form a really deep connection in my opinion

Jjpayne · Answer

Yes that would be fine and as a bonus... im just saying... There would be quiet arguments 😆 But mute is not a deal breaker for sure

Adam1978 · Answer

Anonymous · Answer

For sure, especially if they wouldn't nag me like other women do. For real, though, learning sign language would be worth it for a special person

Wizzbang · Answer

Of course, that wouldn't bother me. It would be quite peaceful I imagine, not saying anything but expressing a thousand words.

Laprass · Answer

Why not i see No reason why being mute is an issue medication in some things can some times not be as appealing

LEADFOOTboi · Answer

i'd have to learn her gang sign based language... it'd be tough to keep, but falling in love is possible... i bet she's a great texter XD

Anonymous · Answer

I am a talkaholic so it'd drive me crazy, but if I were attracted to her and she shared beliefs we could make it work. I would really want to know here brain though so there would be tons of texting.

chriscdi · Answer

wait so what happens when mute people stub their toe? 🤔

YHL6965 · Answer

Yes because communication is more than just words. A simple smile can express so much more than words will ever do.

Pulseofsulfur · Answer

Love does not discriminate. People do. Her muteness would force both parties to work harder on the relationship.
