Dating Tips for Handicapped Singles
Anyone can be lucky or unlucky in love. This is the universal truth and it is no different for handicapped singles. Many of them always have someone to spend their weekends with and it is not always their best friend forever or a casual friend. They could very well be friends with benefits or a casual hookup. If you thought one night stands are otherworldly for those people then you need to quickly transcend to the twenty-first century. Yet, there are many handicapped singles who have not been on a date for a long time. Fortunately, there are online disabled dating sites that have exponentially increased the chances of meeting new people, going out on a date and even finding the elusive soul mate. Disabled singles can be just as lucky or unlucky in love as singles with no disability.
If there is any difference between the experiences of nondisabled singles and handicapped singles then those can be proactively attended to. You may not be able to predict everything but if you are cautious and proactive, if you plan and prepare well, then your experience will be much more pleasant and as per your desires. Here are some dating tips that should be endorsed and practiced.
Handicapped singles should always be absolutely lucid about what they can do, what they cannot do, what they may need help with and what they will not do. Let us consider a rather simple example to illustrate this recommendation.
A handicapped person using a wheelchair would most likely be able to navigate it at most places. She or he may not need any help whatsoever. But there are tricky places such as slopes with severe slants or an extremely busy place where one may need some assistance. It is not always convenient to keep wheeling up and down or here and there. Now, in a normal scenario, such help would be considered readily available or unavailable. There is no major complication in such instances. Things get a little complicated when you consider the possibility that your date may not know how they should respond. Your date may be too helpful and might want to assist you all the time. You need to express yourself to state that it is unnecessary, if that is the case.
Again, if there are instances when you need help, this too should be made amply clear. You should not feel embarrassed if a date is trying to help you in an instant when you need some assistance. The simple reality is that your date should understand what you can do and cannot do. You should not feel ashamed to state the obvious. This way you can avoid all the discomforting moments that can become a source of major embarrassment. There would anyway be some uncertainty on dates, especially the first one. You do not want any more anxieties to endure.
Handicapped Singles must also plan their dates in a rather impeccable manner. One must never go to places that are not disabled friendly. It is not just about the ramp, wheelchair access or the space under the table that can accommodate it. It is also about the service, if the setting is conducive to have a nice date where people would not be constantly staring at two disabled people or one disabled and one nondisabled having a nice time. There are places where servers ask nondisabled people what their disabled dates may like to drink and eat. This is outright ridiculous and unacceptable. Although this does not reflect poorly on handicapped people or their nondisabled dates, the mood is ruined and the entire evening may turn out to be a dud.
You can save yourself and your date from all such nonsense if you are careful with the planning. Prioritize having a good time, not trying to do what everyone else may be indulging in. This is actually applicable for anyone planning a date and not just singles with disabilities. Handicapped singles should always plan a date in a way where their disability does not come in the way of having a good time. Every moment that serves as a disability reminder will be a mood spoiler and your evening or time out will be anything but joyous.
