So many other ways to communicate, body language speaks volumes, touching, seeing.

If you are really interested in this girl, learn some key sign language phrases. I am sure you are not the first guy she's dated who is hearing/speaking, ask her how she has managed it in the past. Get creative, think outside the box, it might be fun!!flowerforyou

sign language is really easy to pick up on you can even look at some of the web pages on line they help just start with your letters then go from there trust me it's easy. I wouldn't give up on her just because she can't talk, its not her fault or your just meet somewhere in the middle

well I have been talking to this great woman on here and I have found out she cant talk. so can you date someone that cant talk??


It seems to me that the real question is can YOU handle it?

Twenty years ago I met this great gal in college. We were very compatible, spent time together nearly everyday. She clearly wanted more. She had this forehead thing that I couldn't get over, though. I simply wasn't sexually attracted. It took a while to sink in, but I finally realized that I couldn't keep her hopes up. We sat down and had a heart to heart and I never saw her again after that semester. No, I didn't actually tell her it was the forehead thing.

Yes, it was shallow; maybe even cruel. But I couldn't get over it. Period.

So, can YOU get over it? Best wishes to you!

I have to ask why she can't talk? Is she in a wheelchair? I mean you said she typed with this thing? Just not being able to talk has nothing to do with typing. It sounds as if she has a handicap of some sort?

It takes a special person to deal with some handicaps.

I see no reason why one cannot communicate with her. Just know what you are getting yourself into, or her.

yea she uses a thing that she types into


He said this.

That is what gave me this impression. Not saying not talking has anything to do with a wheel chair. Saying it sounds like it may be that way?

I am not one to decide how she is or why, just trying to be helpful. That's all.

Kat

What I had pictured was a woman in one of those wheelchairs that you blow into a thing and it talks for you? Or types for you?

Yes you can! I am learning to Interpret for the Deaf & Hearing Impaired and it is a world that "ROCKS". Learning Sign Language is on of the easties languages that you could ever learn and unless someone knows Sign your conversations are always private :wink:

Go for it! People are people.

where do you learn that?sounds interesting.not talking is not a problem with me.most folks talk out their ass anyway .so0unds like you have a great girl.

If you google American Sign Language they will give you sites that have the ASL Alphabet charts and I think they have some actual full words there as well.
