How do i get girls to look past my disability and see me as dateable?

im 28 years old im college educated i got a nice job i own my own place, independent yet girls just see me as a handicap man and dont date me..... i get around in a scooter bc i cant walk real long distances h/o i can walk! i was in a car accident when i was 2 so ive persevered but dating ive always struggled with..... are women just insecure or embarrassed to be seen with me? i can generally get #s no problem (i generally dont like toget #s when out but if she strikes my interest i ask for it) and a few have even ask me if ';it'; works which gets me mad





heres a story - i met this girl last weds night, we seemed to hit it off. we grew up in the same state went to the same univ (she graduates next week) and just had a good talk that night. i asked for her # and she input it and called herself.... that night she asked if i was going to happy hour on friday and i said yes... so that day i texted her 2 c if she was stil goin and we met up she was with her friends but she came over to me and talked 1 on 1....we talked where we lived, she asked if i lived alone and asked about my handicap and about my accident ect ect talked about 15-20 mins then her friendspulled her away to leave and go somewhere else......i called her monday night and havent heard back....... im not being pushy i know she busy with marketing projs and end of the year grad stuff but if she sounded sincere why no call back or very least a text





i know confidence is a big thing to have but with me dating seems like a broken record with meHow do i get girls to look past my disability and see me as dateable?
I don't know what to tell you except that you WILL find someone; you seem to be going about things the right way (i.e. the confidence factor). My guy has a mild case of cerebral palsy. Honestly the first thing I noticed when I met him was his walk, but after a few minutes all I noticed was his eyes :) I would give the girl some time. Like you said, she's probably really busy and it does sound like she's interested. Not many people have dated someone with a disability, so she might also need time to get rid of any misconceived ideas. Maybe you could text her something tomorrow? And if it doesn't work out, then her loss. Don't lose heart; just look at it as getting one step closer to meeting that someone who will truly appreciate you. The whole does ';it'; work thing IS pretty insulting though...
