The Disabled Dating Club How To Get In Do It Successfully

If you are sick of not dating simply because you are disabled, its time to change the way your mind thinks about things. Just because you are disabled in some way doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t enjoy all the delights that dating has to offer. From frivolous and flirty nights out to long and meaningful relationships, you can have successful disabled relationships. You just need a bit of a helping hand form time to time.

If you’re disabled and considering dipping your feet into the dating world for the first time, you need to have the right mindset for it. You should head into the adventure with an open mind and always be upfront about your disability from the start. For example, if you are in a wheelchair most of the time, there is nothing wrong with having your profile picture as you in your wheelchair. That’s a good representation of you, and if often gets that awkward bit out the way from the very beginning. We all know how awkward those first dates have been – “Oh… you’re disabled?”

You should accept yourself and your disability before you expect other people to accept it and you. You are disabled. Don’t hide it. Don’t run from it. Own it. If you are confident and happy, it doesn’t matter what your disability is, people will love you for who you are. You’ll soon see. I found happiness. I’m disabled. If I can do it, and I was the unluckiest in love person EVER, you can. That’s all I’m saying.

At the same time, don’t expect your disability to be the focus of every conversation. Not everyone is as worried as you are about the fact that you are in a wheelchair or have some sort of disability. Believe it or not, there are even disabled dating sites for you to make use of so that you can find people with the same mind frame that you have. You need to be able to understand that people aren’t interested in you because of your limitations… they are interested in you for you.

Humour, as we have mentioned before, is a great ice breaker, so if you can have a “sense of humour” you will find that life is a lot easier for you. Learn to have a laugh and not take life too seriously and people will be charmed by your wit and SOH. Laughing is often a way to make people feel more comfortable and learning to use this in the right way will definitely help you out in the long run.

If you’re having a bad day, don’t sign on to the dating site. Make yourself a cup of tea, have a bath and enjoy some relaxation time first. If you are in a bad mood, it will be portrayed to the people you are talking to, and you should always try to stay positive. If you are having a bad day and are in a bad mood, your potential new love interests will be on the end of it. You’ll be pushing people away before you’ve even started to lure them in. What’s the point in that?

At the end of the day, disabled dating is what you make of it. If you go into the adventure with a negative attitude, believing that people won’t be interest because you have a disability of some sorts, you are going to get that sort of negative attention. Go out there and put your own positive spin on things and life will much happier for you!

The first and original disabled dating club is Disabled Dating Club. Since then they have have set up specialist versions in UK, USA and recently Australia and Europe.

Amputee Dating

Stupidly Simple Ways To Make Amputee Dating Easier

by Whitneyamputee datingPosted on No Comments

Online dating has proven itself to be one of the easiest ways to meet new people. You’ll meet some good people and some total nutters but along the way, you will meet people that you wouldn’t normally have had the opportunity to meet. It certainly opens the dating horizon when you think about it, doesn’t it?

The problem with online dating, especially for amputee singles, is that it is often easy to become someone you are not. It’s hard to tell a lot about someone from a dating site profile alone and when it comes to bringing up a disability, it’s hard to know whether or not you should state your disability right there at the very beginning. Do you want to just blurt it out like that? Are you brave enough to just blurt it out like that?

If you have a very obvious disability, there’s nothing wrong with showing it in your profile picture, or in one of the other picture that you can normally upload too. For example, if you usually use a wheelchair or are an amputee, your profile picture could be one of you in that wheelchair or one which shows that you are an amputee. It gets things out the way early on, and if they aren’t interested, you won’t ever need to know about because you never had that conversation. Chances are, if you are using an amputee dating website, the people there know that the members are amputees in some way so that kinda makes things even easier still, doesn’t it?

At the same time, try not to be overly sexy in your pictures. Men and women tend not to take members seriously when they have a overly-naughty profile picture. It just looks like you’re not looking for something serious, you know? And dare I say it… easy?

If you don’t have an obvious disability, try to pop it in the profile description of yourself somewhere. Normally you will find an ‘About Me’ box on the profile page and this gives you the perfect opportunity to say whatever it is that you gotta say. If you are looking for deaf dating web sites, for example, you could state that you are deaf. If you are blind, you could mention that. If you need a wheelchair or stick to get around, drop it in. It’s just as important for people to accept your disability as it is for them to read whatever it is you’re looking for in your new love interest!

You don’t need to make a big deal about it. In fact, I would suggest making it a fleeting sentence, but at least have it mentioned somewhere. If you are on a “regular” dating site rather then one of the many dating sites for the disabled that now exist, it might not be clear right away that you have a disability, and it could make for awkward conversation later on, or on the first meeting.

Getting the whole disability chat out of the way right from the beginning is an idea that you’ll probably want to put into practice sooner rather than later. Not everyone is as open minded as you would want them to be, but at the same time, some people are a lot nicer than they first may appear. We’re not saying that disabled dating will be easy, but it definitely is worth it when you find someone decent, right?

At the end of the day, the motto here is to not give up. If you don’t have any luck on the particular dating site you are on, change dating sites. It might even be worth your while to check out sites specifically created to make dating for the disabled a lot easier. You never know until you give it a shot, right?
