lisa that is a great story, I wish one day I will have the courage to talk to my gym crush. Unfortunately Covid has really put a damper on that. Are you going to see him again?

myrrh thanks for sharing the video,even though it makes me sad and it is so shocking. My first thought about the PWD was that he is courageous being out there in the craziness. It's horrible what is happening in this country. Also, I really think you should try to find him 😉

Thank you all, you're the best. I knew you would get it and I've been dying to tell someone who really understands. And yes, we will see each other again. I have no clue how everything will be, but it's just too beautiful to let it go. And it seems that I made a good first impression :P. I have to admit that I've already got a big crush on him...

Go lisa! I'm so proud of you and hoping for the best! You better keep us in the loop. And yes Dani I have seen him several times, in fact I was behind him on one march halfway across the city, which I didn't mind one bit! I did say hi to him once, but it's hard to casualty chat with a mask on. I'm not single but I can definitely enjoy a pretty pwd getting engaged and standing up for his beliefs. |

lisa I love your story and it shows again that courage pays off. Keep us posted how the story goes on! I found a cute wheeler online and was even more thrilled once I figured out that he only lives an hour drive away from me. After a few days of chatting we met. We talked many hours. Probably see him again on the weekend. It’s not quite sure which direction this is heading, yet. We’ll see. go Devs. 😊

I recently had the opportunity to visit a specialised wheelchair design company. It was great to see all the innovations and a lot of the staff were pwd’s but I was shocked by how little it pushed my dev buttons ? I truly thought it would be overwhelming but I’ve come to realise that I had far more dev moments when I was sort of observing from a distance whereas now I’m in a long term relationship and “exposed” on a daily basis to all my fantasies, they seem to have calmed down. It was still super interesting though and we learnt a lot so was good in that respect.

Once again I found a pwd on okcupid who I have nothing in common with. Am I under a curse or something. Anyway, he plays on the accessible hockey team where I live so even though I decided to let him down easy I did ask if maybe when quarantine ends if I could come to a game. He was nice, but just not my type, someone who wears shirts with sayings about beer. Am I too picky? Anyway, maybe I'll end up at a hockey game and fall in love. Fingers crossed.
OH and I told him that I was a dev, as I do, and he was like "really?" And I think his opinion on devs were negative, but maybe now they're not. I can't help it guys I'm SO ABOUT the revolution

I get the whole long term incompatibility thing, but why not just meet for coffee and make a friend? I'm pretty sure that is what I would do in your situation. Totally missed that somehow, so two months later: I told him that I'm happy to keep chatting just as friends (and would have been down to meet eventually), but he very adamantly said that he didn't want that. |

I can't help it guys I'm SO ABOUT the revolution You are definitely not too picky! Believe me, my preferences have become so specific, I have many firm deal breakers, and have instituted a zero red flag policy lol. It is for sure not the easiest thing though, can't deny that. Though, I recently started dating a PWD who checks all the boxes, so far there is just ONE future life thing we are kind of figuring out if it's a deal breaker or not. So even if things don't work out, the proof of concept has been nice lol. I love that you are so open about being a dev. You and rebeckers84 have helped me so much in my own dev journey. I really respect and admire your bravery. For the first time in my life I'm starting to get to the point where I'm not letting the fear dictate my life, and you both have been a huge part of that  |

Maybe me and rebeckers84 should team up for a TED talk or something  |
