[nabs-l] Dating & Sighted-Blind-Low Vision

[Gloria G]

Hi,
I have never gone on to any of the online dating sites, but I would be very 
careful because a person online is not as friendly or charming as they 
appear to be over emails. I have dated very few blind people and find that 
there is always a focus on blindness in the relationship and I feel that is 
a negative thing at times because we all live with blindness on a daily 
basis and want to know we are more than our blindness. I have found there 
are a lot of people open to dating a blind person expecially when they are 
confident and out going. I have been in a relationship with a sited person 
for 3 years and things are wonderful.
