I actually met this absolutely gorgeous man at the Tennessee airport. He was paralyzed from the waist down, but his personality and charm got me to take him out to dinner while we awaited our connecting flights.

I wouldn't have had a problem dating him, had I ever heard from him again.

As long as the disability does not involve a mental disease, what does it matter?

Most didn't ask for the disability. How can you hold something like this to the personality that shines? In other words, yes, if we felt the same toward eachother.

so instead of an arm and a leg you cost to leg huh

or what if it is both arms (after all you were not specific but wheelchair being main point of thread are we to assume you mean legs

you sound expensive

sometimes i feel like a need a wheelchair

good luck with your search i hope you find a well suited match

I tried to date a girl with one leg once and she was more hung up about it than I was. I'd do something like get the car door, which I would do for anyone I was dating, and she would be defensive about it like "I'm not helpless." And just trying to understand things like if I needed to let her out closer to the door before I parked or if what we were doing was too far for her to walk made it worse. Where I was only trying to understand the polite thing to do, I guess she took it as patronizing and just wanted to be treated like everyone else. I broke my leg once and when someone would ask me something similar like "can you make it up the stairs okay?" it seemed a reasonable question at the time. But then I wasn't living with it all the time.

I briefly dated a man in a wheelchair. The fact that he was a horse's a$$ had nothing to do with his physical disability.

Humm can't say I've ever been in that situation so I really don't know what I would do unless it ever came about. When you are with someone for a some time and if something happens to them that they are then in a wheelchair then you learn to deal with life as it goes along. I can't sit here and honestly say it would not matter at all for it would have to do a lot with the one in the wheelchair. I have meet those that have such and attitude they drive others away then there have been those that you never thought about it. My dad was in one the last 4-5 years of his life but he never let it stop him from doing anything nor did you hear him complain about being in one. When a person is out going and independent with a great personality they can make the others around them even forget about them being in a wheelchair. So to me it would greatly depend on the person themselves for if they use the chair as and excuse so will others. JMO

I could date someone in a wheel chair. There maybe other issues to consider later in the relationship.

I dunno... Would I get to go for rides sometimes ? Also, it would sure make parking at the mall easier.

I'd date a disabled person, as long as they had the internal strengths and characteristics I desire.

I already had one thread blocked today, don't want to get kicked off site, so let's just say, you'll have to ride on the back LOL
