Dating Someone On Disability (41)

no sure a disabilty is a crutch when you are trying to meet some one.

What exactly did you mean by that statement? What do you know about people dealing with disabilities?


Some use disability to get material things, services, etc, but on a dating site that is not the case.

I would not have guess Maryrachelle had a disability. I saw a young lady with lovely long blond hair. Maybe I just look at people with disabilities differently than you do.

be thankful they showed there true colors before you were lead on....its not right but the way i look at it there afraid of what they don't understand

Couldn't agree with you more

I am meeting a lady tomorrow nite for the first time and have told her that I am still recovering from a MVA and I am currently on disability her reply was so

Will keep fingers crossed, it will turn out to be a positive one for you.

Thanks KHD100 the meeting was amazing we talked and talked and found out have many similar interests and we are both comfortable engaging in conversation She can handle my humor
The funny thing is she is recovering from a accident also and is on disability also and I did not know till we chatted
We have spent some time together over the past few days going on a pic nic a short walk and BBQ
Ya just never know she is enjoyable to be with and can't out run me cause we're both on the mend

Bravo, that is a start/step in the right direction. Even if you both decide you are great friend only, a friend is better than none.

Am Glad for you tunzrok.

May I ask, did you meet on here? or another singles site? Just curious nothing more.

I used to date a guy that had a disability and collected disability. I dont have anything against anybody with disabilities or special needs, cause thats also who i work with. But i did break up with him because i feel i was becoming his mother, and being used as a crutch. I know plenty of people that have disabilties and special needs that try to make things for themselves and want people to know what their capable of doing instead of what they cant do, and thats the way it should be!

I believe it is often fear that when told you have an disability makes people shy away.
There is sooo much emphasize on good health.
What most people also forget is that their lives are not yet over and any day their lives can change, in the blink of an eye.
Be grateful if you enjoy good health but be compasionate to others when not having it.
I conclude that more people are "cripled" in their upstairs region.

Not many of us are able to point out someone's short commings and not make that person feel worse.
You most likely meant well when you said this.
You did not say what you did, because you were trying to be mean, I believe that.

Yes I know I am short hmm petite, but I also know it is only on on end lol.

Blessed are the peace-makers so let's all try to be one.

I apologize for the people who judge a book by its cover as in your case; of course, there is a loveable woman there also, but they won't take the time or compassion. Like someone said, keep looking, don't give up, there is someone for you somewhere, just don't settle for less than what you want.

Heck some of us are not disabled & have a hard time finding someone decent!

Just this week, I found 2 sites that you might want to look into: here they are - nolongerlonelydotcom and trueacceptancedotcom. They both are for disabled people, whereas the stigma is already taken care of. Good luck & God Bless.
