Hi,
This is my first post to this board. I have several questions, but first I'll introduce byself. I'm 28 yr old female and have (I guess mild??) spastic diplegia CP. I use crutches to walk. I don't have any speech problems. The main way my CP manifests itself visually is that I walk funny.
Without trying to sound too pathetic

I've never been on a date with a guy. Because of my lack of experience in this area, I'm not exactly sure how to tell if a guy is interested in me. I have a friend (he is AB) who I have known for a few years, and at times I have felt like he might like me as more than a friend, other times I feel like he is just being nice. (BTW what does a guy do when he is around a women he likes, are there any universal signs that say to a girl that a guy likes her??)
I have been thinking about asking him to lunch (only as friends) as all of our contact in the past has either been in the classroom setting, or email/IM. (He has never asked me to do anything outside of school) I am afraid of what his reaction might be, if he he thought I was asking him because I liked him, and if he didn't like me he might be scared away and not feel comfortable speaking with me.
My main question is to those who have CP and have been involved in a relationship (either dating or marriage). Did you initiate the relationship, or did your partner initiate things? I've asked a few AB people a similiar question, and they usually say that I should wait for him to make a move. Also the few PWDs I have been aquainted with (who are married to an AB person) say that their AB partner made the first move. All of this makes me leery to initiate anything, but then again not knowing can also drive a person crazy
I look forward to your replies.
