Sam23 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) I'm 25, young, I'm really well off,I'm educated, smart, have a really good family, I don't party/drink, and I think I'm generally attractive. However, I have a disability, and I can't get someone to date me to save my life. I hope I don't sound conceited when I state all that, but I had an accident when I was a teen that left me in a wheelchair. Prior to my accident, I had a boyfriend and got hit on regularly. Now that I'm in a wheelchair, guys still talk to me all the time, but no one asks me out and when I've asked guys out, I've gotten turned down. It's really depressing because I don't think my personality or looks have changed a bit; it's just the "disability stigma." I try not to ever play the "poor disabled girl" act, but it's starting to get to me. All my friends are getting married and having kids and I haven't had a date in over 7 years!! To make matters worse, I was close with a classmate. He'd always hang out with me in school, flirt, and just clicked well with. but he never wanted to date. I was completely in love with him. Then, all the sudden he starts dating a girl who looks so much like me. I feel it just reiterated the whole thing that my disability scares guys away. How can I get guys see me for me?
