Dating/Befriending the Disabled

[QUOTE=Sunspace]
Interesting. I’ve starting chatting with a blind guy on the bus to work.

Something must be going around. :slight_smile:

:eek: Something that makes you go blind?

I think this is what makes your situation difficult. Even when people can see you and make eye contact and exchange smiles and all of that, it’s kind of awkward to start talking to a stranger who’s jogging. Would be for me, anyway. I don’t have any advice to offer concerning this, but maybe someone else does :slight_smile:

Damnit! Every time I see that thread title, I read that second word as “Beheading”…it’s getting kinda disturbing…

Well, you still clicked on it? What advice would you give regarding befriending/beheading the disabled?

Start out with exclamations of genuine encouragement and position yourself as she jogs by. Say, “Hi!” on the first day. Catch her on the second day, and say “Wow , what a beautiful Weimeraner.” , third day a little more flirty, “Looking Good!”

She is probably jogging for health and Fitness reasons like any other woman. She knows she looks good… why not let her know she’s a beautiful woman?

FWIW, her dog is a Visla or Weirmeraner, which might be a good opening, “What kind of dog is that, a Visla?” (spelling?) It is a beautiful dog.

Yeah, or howabout:

You: “Hey you don’t often see poodles as guide dogs! What’s his name?”
Her: :confused: “They told me he’s a Vizsla”
You: “Oh no, it looks like you’ve been sucked in by the dress-poodles-up-as-vizslas scam.”

…or maybe not…

“If I said you had a beautiful doggy, would you hold it against me?”
