Question:
I met a guy recently who has a disability. He's such a wonderful guy and often wish he wasn't disabled. Yet, I'm still attracted to him. I'm just afraid that dating a person with a disability is going to be tough. Am I making too much of this? Should I give a relationship with this man a try?

Love comes in many packages. It seems that the issue would not so much be the disability, but how you both handle it. We all have disabilities. They just aren't all obvious. Believe me, I have learned that most of them are mental. Anyway, if you are attracted to him and you are compatible….why not? When you settle into a relationship, you spend most of your down time together. There is nothing 'cooler' than spending time with your partner and really liking him. That's what's important…that you can grow together and build a life together. You forget about the disabilitiy because your life functions around other stuff….every day functioning stuff. If he has learned to live with it and be happy and productive, so will you. Life is full of decisions and choices…this is just one of them.

Come on. What's the problem? You met a guy that you are attracted to and he is wonderful. Love can be found where we least expect it and it doesn't always come in the package we expect. You have everything you need - a person you're attracted to and he's nice.

If you like this guy, he treats you well, and you enjoy his company, be thankful you met him and don't worry about his disability. You will learn to cope with the challenges it brings and your relationship will be stronger if you navigate through these challenges together. It's rare that we meet someone we have a deep connection and friendship with so if you have found a great guy, hold on to him and don't let something so silly come between you.
