Dating with a disability
Post Body

I have a disability that keeps me from working and, as a result, I live at home and do not have a car of my own. It doesn't define me as a person though. I've had relationships with people who care about the kind of person I am and not my financial or living situation. I have a great personality, I'm funny, caring and kind and I'm not hard on the eyes either. I also have a very supportive extended family that does their best to help me live a relatively normal life. My disability has never caused any significant problems in a relationship.

The tricky part is when and how to mention my disability, especially if I don't "click" with someone right away through text. If I don't feel a connection I generally don't ask them out because of this. However, I know that a lack of connection through text does not always translate to a lack of connection in person. I strongly feel that I should mention it before a date though. It will inevitably come up in conversation and if it IS an issue I don't want to waste their time or mine. I also don't want to just blurt it out to someone I barely know though so I'm in a bit of a pickle. Any insight is much appreciated
