Re: boy with CP. Dating

Hey Joe...

Firstly from a girls point of view: when I was that age I didn't want a boyfriend! My life was crazy enough without a boyfriend in my life. But I knew plently of girls that did want a boyfriend. So, I guess, don't always assume that you'll be rejected because you've got CP. Girls are emotionally wacky at that age...

Secondly, go for the dating!!! I've never met a guy who was disabled that had a problem getting a girl, in my experience it's us disabled girls that have the hardest time getting the guy. (But that's just my take on it as a girl. Any of you guys out there that disagree...well...feel free, but I've seen it with my own eyes!)

Third, just take it easy!

Re: boy with CP. Dating

Well, EVERYONE gets rejected at some point, whether they have CP or look perfectly "normal". And yes, there are some people who won't date someone just because of a disability...like you said, it's stereotypes. But there are plenty of people who see past disabilities easily. Others need some time and need to get to know disabled people before they feel more comfortable (I know even I feel uncomfortable around others in wheelchairs once in a while!). So try becoming friends with girls first and, after a while, ask them out.

The point is, don't get discouraged because there are people out there who will have no problem accepting you...you just have to find them! Look at it this way, CP makes it easier for you to see which people are shallow and which are good girlfriend material. (And I happen to agree that guys can get dates more easily than girls ).
