Dating With Disabilities: The Challenges of Dating When Disabled.

Teaser: For nearly a year now, you’ve seen me write about my lack of a love life and my search for one with a physical disability. This week, I got the chance to hear someone else’s story – a story that I could instantly identify with, and one that didn’t make me feel so alone in my aloneness when it comes to all things love. Meet 29-year-old Amanda Wilson from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who has had Cerabral Palsy since birth. I had the chance to chat with her recently about the struggles she faces in dating with disabilities.

    I'm surprised I haven't mentioned this to you, but in terms of someone who is disabled and thriving, have you ever watched the material of comedian Josh Blue? It is very self-deprecating, he has CP and is also an artist.

    I think the choice really depends on the person. One part of me feels like I have to be the one to fish through emails and look at profiles and go on a online dating that I choose because no one knows me better than I do. But another part of me would prefer an expert to match me up with someone and possibly eliminate those people I will not connect with. Maybe someday I will try both to see which works better.
