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... sigh

I couldn't agree with you more, however, it would also depend on the disability and my physical ability to cater to their needs as well as my physical ability to care for the one I love.

Life is about quaility, just as love is.

And what on earth are you doing in bed with a candle??? confused
Was the electricity disabled at the time? uh oh

.... Love is all that counts... sounds nice, but really far from the reality by the moment.... My mailbox, and flower box, are not empty.... fortunately, young gentlemen are open-minded... but I have 44 years old my friend... understand the point?. These are other times... in ten years more, we'll see many changes about it, I can feel it everyday, in this friendly, passioned, and respectful young group of men and women...in my own family... but I'll be out of "CS" in ten days.... or weeks, who knows, if I can to resist the silence from my own generation....(LOL) If you are disabled, that means nothing, like any test for everyone in this life... the real SPOT is ignorance around you, or the morbid curiosity... A disabled dating is not the answer... is just an innocent way to resolve this issue with more discrimination.... is just more social hypocrisy,... finally the message is the same thing: YOU ARE DIFFERENT... HIDE YOURSELF HERE. Is a trap. I will say always... No thanks,I believe in integration... Thanks for this blog...teddybear (and excuse my bad English)
It is the narrow minded thinking like this by people like you that has kept people like myself out of the dating and relation wotld I'm disabled since birth & am looking for my soulmate.very mad
Thinking about it and actually doing it are two entirely different things.

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.
As ever Aeropos you made me think.

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??purple heart
Well I always before going to bed I have a cantle burning... it helps me to meditate and think what bad or good I did this day as Pythagoras advises.. I've posted a blog on this..
This is an answer for my friend Ebony8Ivory, thank you dearhandshake
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?
Dear Redex, I'll stick to the last part of your comment...
"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.
Dear Jan1305
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 6tieshandshake
It would depend on the disability and the person; some disabled people will have a lot of problems aging and some won't live that long to be honest.

It would take a special situation.
I've been disabled since I was born, it's not easy knowing that many people wouldn't go out with me cause of my disabilities. But I keep hoping that I'll find the right guy someday.
As someone with a "disability", I frankly could care less if someone would date me or not. I have Crohn's Disease and it has almost killed me twice. Still, it has not stopped me from completing my BA and MA, it has not stopped me from traveling overseas and living abroad, and it has not stopped me from being a success. My disability does not define me. Anyone who would refuse to date me upon knowing about this "disability"is frankly not worth my time and thoughts. She can date some guy who cannot keep a job and treats her badly. In all honesty, I think that I have accomplished more in my first 42 years of life than most complete in their entire life, and I am still achieving more.

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.
Hi everyone ... I ask you one question, and I ask someone brave to answer ... who is not disabled? show me just one person. We all have disabilities some with apparent disabilities and some with hidden ones ... we all suffer one kind of disabilities ... it comes in many shapes and forms ... I have met many brave disabled souls that out perform the healthy ones ... many of them are heros and many more leave their normal lives ... they have equal rights and surely enough they need love ... I have seen and met many smart deaf and dumb people who were smarter than smartest people who claim to be smart ... If I happen to meet such a person of my age range I would dearly respect and love her for sure, it is me who is real disabled, although I seem to be healthy in appearance but I know myself well about my disabilities better than anyone else does ... do not forget that our body is only our horse that carries us around ... pretty or not pretty ... abled or disabled ... but it hurts when someone loves you just because you are riding a pretty horse and ignores that inner YOU your real YOU who is not disabled at all ... do not go for looks, it has a passing season, there is something beyond the looks try to discover that inner quality in others ... with you I can stand higher than clouds and without you, I shall be lost in depth of a rain drop!. love you all (disabled or not disabled).
Labels such as "disabled person" etc are labels that take away from the individual as you see the disability before you see the actual person.
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!!!!
