Ask QC: Dating’s Tough When You’re 3-Feet Tall, 75 Pounds, and Wheelchair Bound

Dear QC readers,

This year I’ll be turning 27 and so far have had the opportunity to experience mostly everything I’ve wanted to. However, one thing still eludes me, even after all these years. I’ve never had the opportunity to date guys.

You see, I’m not like most guys. I’m about 3 feet in height, between 50-75 pounds and am restricted to using a wheelchair for mobility. I’m fine with that. I’ve come to terms with it a long time ago. I had to if I wanted to live some sort of semblance of a happy life.
I live my life according to what is normal for me. Everyone’s interpretation of being normal is different, which makes trying to be normal futile. To me anyway.

However, with the condition that I live with, I find it hard to attract guys. I’ve done the casual thing for about a year. As they say, that got old fast. I’m ready to start something more serious, but don’t know how to go about doing it. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Gay guys can be pretty judgmental when it comes to physically sizing each other up. And without knowing too much about the seeker‘s condition, he may have other limitations that make dating and intimacy more challenging than the typical “Where should we eat?” So how can a guy like the seeker go about slipping into the dating pool? Is there a website? A group? Do we have any other handicapped or wheelchair bound QC readers who can share their stories of how they found a decent guy to date? Please share your advice and experiences in the QComments section.
