What’s It Like to Date While Disabled?

I always call my best friend after a date…
Once, following a dinner date, the guy texted that even though we had a lot in common, he wasn’t interested in seeing me again.
“Why do you think he said that?” my friend asked.
“I can’t be sure, but he made a ‘oh, what, ew’ face when I walked in, so I have an idea.”
“Did he know that you have cerebral palsy?”
“Yes, but that was his first time seeing it.”
“You know, a lot of my friends have bad dating stories,” she said. “Dating is tough for everyone. But dating might be the hardest on you.”
