Topic: What would you do if........... | |
---|---|
You meet someone online, hit it off, well, I mean really well to the point you're drawing feelings for this person, to now, its time to meet and greet face to face..............
..........and then you come to find out that they have a "handicap" i.e. wheelchair, cane, walker............ R U Still interested in pursuing this relationship? |

They haven't mentioned it before? While I do not see that it would stop me from dating them, I'd be pissed that it wasn't mentioned, to be honest.

I think I would have a problem with the fact that they neglected to tell me that important piece of information from the beginning- I would question their honesty but I would try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I would have wished they would have told me before I met them but NO, it would not stop me from dating them or having feelings for them.

No I wouldn't. It's not right to not tell that person the truth. If they would lie to you about something like that, what else would they lie to you about. That would have pissed me off.

I would expect something like this to have been mentioned long before a face-to-face was ever even under consideration.

Honestly it depends on how cute they are or
how bad the handicap is. If the person just had a limp or something then who cares, wheel chair...I'd ponder. |
|
|
|
I think my boyfriend told me in was in full kidney failure in the 2nd or 3rd email that we exchanged.
I'd expect no less from anyone else with any serious health issue. |
|
|
|
I think I would feel betrayed since if we hit it off that well and was really into one another before the first meet. I would wonder what else they had forgotten to tell me about.
Would a handicapp stop me from dating a person no. I dated a blind man once for about 6 months he was great fun to be with. |

As "WE" all know, we all have/had something about us that was not told to your significant other, date, husband until much further into the relationship...............hell, prolly still haven't told them, but the reason for this topic is because information such as a handicapp is so not something that you can't hide when meeting someone new, so I wanted to know how others would feel about it as well
|

I would be upset that it wasn't mentioned way before then... But it wouldn't necessarily stop me from dating them.
|

With all my heart problems, I lay my cards out on the table. I guess I would want to know if someone I was seeing had health issues as well. Although it wouldnt make a difference. Anyone you fall in love with is mortal and thus subject to illness or injury. No one can predict the future.

Finding out of their disability would be somewhat unsettling, but it wouldn't necessarily result in my not wanting to date them. After all, it's not about the disabilities- it's about the person and her personality.

I've been lied to and mislead enough. It would be the end of the road for me because of the omission not the handicap.

R U Still interested in pursuing this relationship? With holding information is the same as lieing in my book.You can get to know someone online for a long time and even develpoe strong feelings( getting to know their heart) but a face to face can save you alot of heartache down the road..... |

I would never date someone that was disabled

I've been lied to and mislead enough. It would be the end of the road for me because of the omission not the handicap. I agree. And withholding information about something that major, I'd be constantly wondering what else they might be holding out on. |

don't under estimate the power of the disabled they sue everyone so they have money
