so....i found myself at the mall this week during the height of the christmas craziness and the only upside was that i spotted a couple of cute wheelers there. this occurrence is so rare, i always want to go follow the guy for a bit, check him out. i never do though, because i feel sort of creepy. but the thing is that if i see a cute AB guy somewhere i might trail him for a while, make eye contact, try to start a conversation, etc. i think the difference is knowing how people in chairs get stared at all the time. i don't want to appear like just another 'gawker'. to neither him or the other people in the vicinity. i don't really have a point or a question, it's just something i was thinking about...it kinda sucks because it certainly limits my chances of meeting the rollerboy of my dreams! ha. ok...so i said i didn't have a question, but now i'm curious what everyone else does in these all too rare situations. i've started a poll...

Very true, we all get smiles We never know whether people are just being nice, or it is a "arent they brave , poor thing" type smile.

I wish we humans had developed different smiles for different purposes! There needs to be a special kind of smile for "hey you're hot!"

I agree with LLP. I am somewhat shy in real life, so I lack the nerve to go over and talk to someone. I need to listen more to the comments the guys here have made and hope I get to spot a cute wheeler someday to see how this works.
I voted for the third option in the poll.

it is hard, disabled or not disabled. maybe just going over and chatting about various things, and finding an excuse to kepp in touch would be an answer

Being the boring married chick, I went for #4. I always glance appreciatively, but don't stare. I don't want to make someone uncomfortable. Usually, I try and give them as much attention as I'd give anyone else, and go on my way. Only once have I trailed a cute wheelchair user. At an airport. I sort of followed him around a chemist. It was amusing.

Smiles are kinda hard to decipher. But if a hot lookin girl winks at me well I would consider that flirting and respond appropriately (blush heavily, panic, OMG she winked at me!). So wink ladies, wink! Hehehe

You go Lucretia! Yeah, subtlety never works with guys, you gotta be direct. So did you get a date or what? You were a little vague on the details. And there is that special smile, you have to accompany it with an eye-lock--staring into the guy's eyes while grinning is always a come-on. Of course you have to follow up by striking up a conversation, but the eye-lock can be really powerful

Well done Lucretia! That is the way to do it Hopefully otheres will follow your example I hope everyone has a great new year. I will be going down the pub for early new years drinks! wont be out in the evening though it gets too crowded and people keep hurting themsleves bashing in to my wheelchair! I would imagine a few other wheelers think like me so if you want a chance to see a wheeler, it might be an idea to go down early

I have to say a wink and a nice smile does open the door for more.

When I saw my "friend" Mr. Leatherpants the first time, he literally took my breath away. I mean, I actually couldn't catch my breath. Even tho' I am married, I just sucked in all my air, walked straight up to him (yes, he had looked at me too) and just blurted "You are so smokin' hot, that I am having heart failure." He looked me up and down in the way that only a man will and broke into a huge smile and laugh. "I can't believe I just said that", said I, "but it's true." He just smiled and smiled and smiled and finally said: "Hon, you just made my year! Can I tell you that I was checking you out too?"
OK, enough said... Bold and brazen was clearly worth it in this case.

Wow, a lot of shy women here. I'm surprised. Speaking as a guy, I would appreciate a woman who makes the first move.
