I'm Ritvik from Karnataka India, M24. I have a disability called Cerebral Palsy which is a physical disability. It's mild. It impedes my speech and affects my fine motor skills. Other than that I can do almost everything like normal people do.

I have tried online dating and offline dating but nothing has worked so far. Girls either ghost me or end up saying "I never expected you'd have feelings for me, I thought you were my friend/brother".

When I ask girls is it because of my disability that I face so many rejections, they deny the fact and ask me not to think in that direction. I understand they are trying not disappoint me but I strongly believe I face rejections because of my disability.

Girls and ladies out there, what do you think? Would you date a guy like me who is understanding, caring, empathetic, has a lot of love, would be there for you throughout your life's ups and downs?

And I've observed a pattern. Some girls date toxic guys but need nice guys like me to vent out their frustrations and problems.

Is being born like this a curse. Don't we deserve love, respect and a normal relationship?
