Has anyone here ever dated a guy in a wheelchair? I'm 27 years old and fairly good looking. I do however have a hard time approaching women. Fear of rejection. Any ideas?
the way people carry on and reject others for the smallest thing. too bad you want to be a part of all of that nonsense. but you can join an online site for 'disabled' people and see if you can meet women on there.
When I lived in Florida, I knew someone who was paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident. He met a lot of people by volunteering for an animal shelter and he met someone there. So like I said, volunteer work would be a great way.
I remember a girl on my campus was really hot and had a wheelchair but I was nervous to approach someone I didnt know and ask them out. For guys it probably is a bit harder but you can use it to your advantage. You can approach a girl and its less likely she'll be mean to you and she won't find it as scary as an able bodied man approaching them. Then go up to them and be like "I gotta go in like a minute but I'm wondering...have you ever fed bread to a duck" or some goofy q, keep the convo light then after a few min be like "hey I gotta go, let me get your number and we can continue this convo somewhere cooler" then there you go.
Aww,,, that's too bad he turned you down.. Maybe he was too shy.. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
He definitely wasn't shy, I knew him for many years. He is actually pretty incredible and I still hang out with him from time to time. He just wasn't into me, no big deal.

I wonder if people with disabilities ever turn people down out of a sense of feeling "not good enough" or anything like that? Not implying that they really aren't "good enough" but Ive known people with disabilities who had people who were clearly into them, and they were also into the other person, but they still turned them down????

I can definitely see that happening. I have a genetic disorder and have to receive regular meds through an IV and I have a very difficult time telling people about it. Every time I'm interested in a man, I just think about telling him about it and I just don't want to deal with the heartbreak of him disappearing after he finds out. It's happened before and I'd rather just not deal with it.
I know someone who is in a wheelchair as a result of being born with MD. He's had a hard time finding someone, despite being a very cool and sweet guy. However while plenty of people are willing to look past the wheelchair, sadly there are many who will not.
I imagine there is hope out there for everyone, it's just usually in the places you least expect to find it. The best thing to do is try to get involved in things that make you happy and you may meet someone along the way.
