disabled..
I noticed the other night turning off my laptop this ad.. "Disabled Dating For Local Singles"On my way to bed to get some sleep, start thinging again the question...would I ever start a relation with a disabled person... yes I replied to myself I would do it gladly, but later in bed I thought it over again... put my mind on it, having beside me a not complete a disabled intivitual.. how would I feel like..
After an hour or so I am happy to declare that the answer was again yes, if all the rest would work out all right for us, why not, love is all that counts... I turned over in bed, put the candle off and fell asleep...

Life is about quaility, just as love is.
And what on earth are you doing in bed with a candle???
Was the electricity disabled at the time?

Most of us would like to believe that a disability would not be a relationship bar, but sadly, in reality it most definitely is.
If you can fall asleep happy and content that you would date a disabled woman in your dreams, then good for you. However, it is only in your dreams, until you prove otherwise and actively contact women who have a disability.
I love walking.
I walk alone now.
I love life and things I see, feel, and smell.
Could I convey all that.
People do not stare at me.
Could I shield someone from that.
The list went on and on.
Answere to your thought.

, I dont know if i could until it happened, but that would be the same as anyone I met, we would look at all things, but sometime that dreaded feeling we cant controll takes over then what??
This is an answer for my friend Ebony8Ivory, thank you dear
Now regarding my friend's Danceswithwolves comment secont part I have to say I am against social hypocrisy but no you don't have to hide yourself cos you are different than the rest...Many great men and women, artists philosophers writers and so on were disabled people, did you know that Casanova had a limb problem?
"but sometime that dreaded feeling we cant control takes over then what?? "
I have been in this position mainly because of my age, a lot of times...my answer on this... just surrender and feel the tension.
I had an afair with a disabled young woman when I was 19... she had a wooden leg after a car crash..it lasted for about 1 year..we had both a great time then I left for England for studies.. we kept writing to each other then she got married lost track... so if making being young such a conection you can imagine it would be easier for me to do the same in my 6ties
It would take a special situation.
And yes, I have dated women with disabilities as well. For the most part, I have had a wonderful time. Even though those relationships did not work out for various reasons, I did learn and grow as a individual from them.
Unfortunately in todays society if its not physical barriers that disable some people through limited or no access to shops,bars,schools,public transport,work etc then its societies attitudes which are equally disabling..
The word disability means different things for different people. What you consider a disability, I may not or vice versa and is also hugely depended on how the person sees themselves...I might think that joe Blogg has a disability but in fact his disablility has not interfered with his life at all...
In relation to disability and personal relationships the facts are...
1)Most people with a disability tend to live at home with their parents into late adult life
2)Due to costly medical issues and lack of accessable employment people with disablilities tend to have financial difficulties also
3)With limited resources and access to public places such as bars and restaurants a person with a disability will find it difficult to get out amd meet others...
So regardless of your would I? wouldnt I? Reality is that your not really going to because you probably wont meet with anyone that has a disablity!!!!
