Dating With Disabilities: Inside The Male Mind.

Teaser: A few months ago, I found that nagging thought tugging at my mind again: Why do guys metaphorically run in the other direction because of my disability? Isn’t there some guy – maybe more than one out there – who would embrace my disability as nothing more than it is: One part of me? Not all of me. Just one part of me that helps to make me whole.
