Short notes from members across our 12 communities - wheelchair users, autistic adults, Deaf signers, bipolar daters, CP partners, and singles living with epilepsy.
I stopped apologizing for my wheelchair the moment I joined. Daniel asked about my chair the same way he asked about my dog. Normal. Finally.
Direct communication is a love language. My partner reads my Dating Deets, knows I infodump, and brings me ear defenders to loud restaurants.
Hearing dating apps made me type out my whole life story. Here I just said "ASL preferred" and Marcus signed back on video the same night.
I disclosed my bipolar II on day one. He read about it, asked one kind question, and never treated me like a diagnosis. Two years strong now.
My speech is harder to follow when I am tired. Voice notes let me record at my best pace. Andre fell for my voice before he saw my chair.
Disclosing epilepsy used to end conversations. Here the Dating Deets did the work - and Ryan asked what to do during a seizure on date two.
The data behind the smiles
Decades of relationship research and a generational shift in attitudes show why a dedicated disabled dating site outperforms mainstream apps for our members.
