Would you date someone in a wheelchair.

the real question should be, if the person you were dating, got into an accident and ended up in a wheelchair, would you continue to date them?nimatoad2000

a wheel chair would not come between me and love/sex

Under the right circumstances, I wouldn't mind. I would say it definitely takes quite a bit of patience and courage to be in such relationship. There are a few hurdles you have to clear if the relationship is to be successful... the love could be mutual, but the circumstances might kept the two apart...

Probably not, I don't want someone dependant.

As long as he can keep it up and can feel what is happening in his crotch area... I see no problem.

if I met her in the wheelchair, no. If I was with her and she had some accident where she was bound to the chair than yes, I would stay with her.

Is it permanent or did she just get into an accident?

Permanent

Tough call, not sure if I can really predict whether I would or wouldn't seeing as I've never dated anyone. Having said that, I think it would depend on just how disabled they were; I don't think I'd date a quadriplegic, nothing personal against them but that would be just too much work. I can see no reason against dating a paraplegic though, or someone similarly capable of getting by on their own.

No, realistically I don't think I could handle the physical burdens and I wouldn't want them to suffer as a result of that.

Honestly, no

For how much?

Sure. I'd have no problem with it.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Quick question to the OP Are they paralyzed from the waist down. Hopefully most of you see where I am going (if not...can they feel from the waist down) If they can't feel anything from the waist down, my answer goes from 99% no to 100% no...no sexual intimacyTropicalshower

wow just wow, sex doesnt matter for you?

sorry but sex is the physical expression of love. Lots of people tell you they love you, but very few can actually show it.

Not saying we need to hump like rabbits and hookers and those lovely things, but a relationship without sex is, imo, meaningless. Sex isnt everything, but it sure is a helluva lot

I met a girl who went to Sociology class with me. She's not pretty and one day she fell in love with me. It was horrible. She even gave me a gift she bought while she was on vacation. All I had to do was thank her and try to show no interest. Though I feel bad for her :(

Welis

I'd hate to see what else you've attracted over the years...:P

same thing happened to me except with a fat chick. just ignore them and they'll go away. ;)

Not to be horrible, but I'd have to be in love with her to even try. It would be pretty awkward and I'd probably slip up and accidentally say 'let's go for a walk' or mention cycling or something.

Aww, that would be just awful! :( I would hate to be in a situation like that. I would probably have to chew a twix and think of something to say.

Funny...right after posting this, I look on TV and see a twix commercial. lol

Whats up with all the "Would you date" threads?But yeah,I wouldn't mind

Yeah I definitely would.

a. If she's a really beautiful person you'd be an idiot to miss her.

b. Anyone that thinks sex can only be enjoyed waist down probably isn't having great sex in the first place :oops:.

So yeah, for sure for me.

My girlfriend has minor cerebral palsy which effects the lower sections of her right leg. She has trouble walking, and walks like she has a limp. Her body adapted to the best way to walk despite this problem, but in time that caused problems with her back. So basically, if she's going to be walking for an extended period of time she needs either crutches or a wheel chair.

Omg does she hate it. Quite often she'll prefer to just hold hands and struggle along.
