Well, I'm 32 and I don't have a steady boyfriend. I like my freedom. But I do like my guy friend to spend some time with me. But I also love my quite time alone. So yes some people are meant to be alone.

Yes, paraplegics can still have sex.  Most do not feel it, but that is going to be a case by case basis.

All of us who might answer this question would love to tell you yes your dream mate is around the next corner. Yes this could happen and might.  I am a man and will offer this advice.  Most ANY physical disability will not stop TRUE love.  Personally I would not care.  If I "fall in love" with a woman, the physical aspect of the relationship just doesn't matter. We're programed in America to gravitate towards "beautiful underwear models" and so many wonderful, "beautiful on the inside" people are missed. That special person is there.  Do YOUR part to be beautiful inside and out, be social and don't give up! That TRUE love will show up. Not knowing the disability I can't zero in on any specific advice, but believe me, there is someone out there wishing and waiting for a true love like YOU.

you should be happy that you're single cos you'll get to do more things with your life.you should just start hanging out with your friends and just forget about getting a boyfriend now.give yourself more time and you'll have more space since you're single.

As a child we grew up with a neighbor who was paralyzed. He could not move his arms, hands feet, legs,\nneck or head. In summer she would have him sit outside in his wheel chair. His hands always lying across the other on his lap. She always had a sheet over him , sleepers on his feet.  In his room was a t.v. and a bed that he stayed in . Most of the time he was upright in bed where one could roll his head down to a level position. Numerous times a day he had to be turned where he was facing the floor. My sister, my mother and I always went to assist in helping turn him. It looks like you are flipping him over, which you are to face downward or upward. We would talk to him but he would grunt like and look at us. He was indeed a wonderful person and yet he could not feel a thing. His wife fed him, washed him and catered to him until the day he passed. This is how I met a paralyzed Man for the first time. I thank God for having met him and spending time with him..

YES!!! I held off getting into relationships for 7 years until I could finally move out and transition. Now that I'm transitioning no one will date me. It sucks...

I still don't have one, duh! DO u expect ur parents to let u have a boyfriend at this age of 13... well, back to the discussion, I won't be embarrased if I know that my bf will be worth it for me... and all the beautiful things that I want in a guy, then, I'll go for it!!! Why would I be ashamed!!!

Yes, most of the time.  I have found out that now being disabled, that because of a disability, people pass you by and won't give you a second look.  I had a friend who has kept hitting on me for the past 13 yrs, I'm married and she knew it but was still hitting on me so I'd leave my wife for her.  Once I was hurt and now declared disabled, she wants no part of me what so ever.  And I tried to go to her, because of my wife and I have been fighting because of my disability.  I feel invisible too from everyone my friends have abandoned me and most of my family(mother, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles) have basically shut me out, like I'm an outcast.  I want to scream at the top of my lungs sometimes, "I am still here, I am the same person as before, but now with limitations."

Don't panic. You are not going to die if you do not have a boyfriend. Trust that there are guys out there that are attracked to you and that when they get the courage to ask you out, they will do it. Don't second guess anything about yourself, and don't try to change yourself. Be yourself, and you will ultimatly be happier with yourself and with the guy that you are with when it happens.

For me, it was when a friend of mine offered to push me around an amusement park in a wheelchair, just so I could go. I was 38 years old at the time and had disability come at the age of 34. I have a hard time accepting it. Anyway, I was going to stay home and not go on the field trip with our kids because I knew that I could not walk it. She offered, and then per-swayed me to go. We hung out all day and had a great time. She was totally unselfish in her act of kindness. She enjoyed my friendship enough to inconvenience herself. It meant the world to me.

Sure, I am more than certain that you can get a boyfriend. Every guy likes an atheletic girl.

You already know people judge a lot based on visuals- people in wheelchairs just have an extra set of visuals to deal with.\n\nThe main thing is getting out there where the guys are. Wheelchirs can limit mobility and socializing if you don't work at it.\n\nLots of the folk I work with in chiars are dating.

Not only would I date an amputee girl, I have dated an amputee girl before. She did not use a prosthesis and used crutches all the time. I was never ashamed to be seen with her at all. Of course some people would stare but I am used to that. I grew up with the stares when going out in public. I was so into her that most of the time I did not notice the crutches or the disability. The crutches and being in public with her had no impact on our relationship at all.

Using your disability to get women to have sex with you? Nice. :)
