Ideas for dates? (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by 0xdeadf001
I've just begun dating a blind woman. I'm not concerned at all about her blindness -- she is confident and capable, and I feel very comfortable with her. But I'd love to hear some ideas for dates. Blind folks of Reddit, what are some things that you love doing? Everyone is different, of course, but it would be nice to hear about your experiences.

I would think the best advice is pretty much the same as it is for all women; find out what *she* likes to do. I mean, don't ask her straight out, but you know, get her talking about herself and the things she likes doing just like you would any other girl and figure out a way to make those things into dates.

Certainly! Already doing that. Just wondering if there was something that maybe neither of us had thought of, that someone here had done and enjoyed.

Thanks.

Both myself and my SO are visually impaired, which makes things interesting. I find that logistics tends to be the hardest thing as we live in a large metropolitan area and neither of us can drive. I think a lot of it is what others like /u/Bob_0119 said, find out what she wants to do. I wouldn't get discouraged from doing normal date things though, we have gone to see movies with descriptive audio, dinner in crowded areas, etc. We are planning on going to a concert sometime over the summer and a few local places in our area like the Botanical Gardens here. For something like a concert where it is difficult to navigate, we will go with friends, for other things we just figure it out as we go... Part of the fun. Like I said the biggest deal for us is transport. I also find that planning everything out is important because I can get Google Walking directions plugged into my phone before we have to move, but that probably isn't as much of an issue for you. I would just say communicate and you should be fine for the most part.

Blind people can (and want) to do everything a sighted person can do. The only thing my boyfriend doesn't like much is going to a movie, haha. But concerts, dinner, being outdoors, sitting around listening to music, etc....all enjoyable.

A lot of blind people are different, but I'll do my best. Most blind people I've met like watching movies, although, some like description and others don't. So, ask her to a movie, and she will let you know if you wants those headphones with the audio description. Hope this helps.

I second Bob_0119 suggestion to find out what she likes to do. Also have her do something with you that you like to do. Do things you both like to do. Some things you can do together could be canoeing, tandem biking, going to a music concert, nature hikes, night at a comedy club, the movies, walk on the beach, cool restaurant, and so on.
