        This must be my day for saying "get real please."

        The average dating service cannot gaurantee to provide a
date for any handicapped individual.  99.9% of the dating
population is seeking a "Tom Cruise" or "Vanna White".  They are
not seeking people in wheelchairs, on crutches, deaf, blind, or
spastic.

        If you want a date then YOU need to go looking.  Ask the
girl at school, work, or at the pizza parlor.  Get YOURSELF out
so that YOU can met people.

        It is YOUR responsibility to get a date.  If you want
someone else to get you one, then hire a pimp--he can gaurantee
delivery.
