Askmen Dating A Girl In A Wheelchair Site:www.reddit.com
She has to have a car, and not a shitty one either, something expensive like a Mercedes or Porsche. I don't want my friends to see me with a girl who drives a crappy car. That would, like, totally mess up my rep. She has to be ambitious and have a good job. $60,000 or below doesn't cut it, ladies, I need a 6-figure woman. One of my best friends has CP and is in a wheelchair a good portion of the time. He met my other best friend at my birthday party and they are dating now:) he also tends to get a lot of girls in general maybe bc he’s such a sweetheart.
I've been in a wheelchair for 18 years. I've never been in a relationship or on a date.
I know I'm not ugly. I'm smart, funny, and have a generally positive attitude about life. So, the fact that I've have never been asked out by a guy makes me think it must be the chair.
Maybe guys find it intimidating, or they're scared of the unknown. I'm not sure what it could be. I know a number of guys in chairs who have wives/girlfriends, but think it's easier for men in wheelchairs because women tend to be more compassionate and enjoy the role of care taker.
AskMen, what do you think? Would you be willing to date someone in a wheelchair?
Also, do you have any advice on how I could help make potential 'love interests' more comfortable with the situation and to see passed the chair to the fact that I'm just a regular person?
The dating their caregiver comment is a very easy trap to fall into, no doubt about it. We definitely don’t work that way in our relationship yet it could easily happen. I think that would depend on the girl not the wheelchair.
