I am a senior here at Wright State.  Here at WSU and we have a
rather large hindicapped/disabled population.  I'd imagine that
there is at least one person with almost every condition (CP, MD,
MS, deaf, blind...).  I have notice that people with CP are usually
without a special person in their lives.  I know several MDs who
have been romanticly envolved for several years.  There are also
several quads (high quad, ie. limited use of arms and hands) who
have someone to share their life with.  However, rarely do CPs meet
people who will even consider going out with them on one date.  I
am not putting others (MDs quads, ect) down, but this seems
backwards.  I mean that in many cases MDs and quads need more
assistance and aren't able to do as much as CPs.

I find it interresting, but FUSTRATING, that all my life I have
gotten along with girls/women very well, but only once, way back in
6th grade, did any of them look at me as a male (rather than an
"it" - as I feel like now)

I was just wondering if there are any CPs on the net who have meet
someone and have been involved in a relationship.  How did you meet?
How did they first react to your handicap?

Ronnie

P.S.	My friends are MDs and quads and I am happy for them, so don't
	FLAME ME
