Since it's almost Valentine's Day, how did you and your sighted partner fall in love? (self.Blind)

Give me some inspiration and tell me your stories.

I guess I am just extremely nervous for VDay.

/u/thewriteamy and I met on OkCupid almost 5 years ago, just a few months after I went fully blind. We had similar interests, clicked well over messages, and had an amazing and amazingly awkward first date. $1

We were both interested in pursuing non-monogamy, absolutely clicked emotionally and physically, communicated well, and are now nesting primary partners.

Haha. We met at the front counter of the police station. Serious. I was working there, on afternoon shift and friends came to take me out for supper. My future SO was a mutual friend who was tagging along.

I like to tell my MIL that we met at the front counter of the police station... he was being arrested for DUI, I was brought in for solicitation... it was love at first sight! :)

I met him in high school and he was one of the very few people who never seemed put off or unsettled by the way my eyes looked or the odd habits I had, so naturally I relaxed around him. We became great friends and began dating a year later, and have been together for six years! We're both finishing up college in very different career paths (me for audio engineering, him for teaching art) and are going to FINALLY live together (and get engaged!) in around a year. Very excited.

He's a great sighted guide (after some teaching from myself, of course) and always reads menus for me and finds things that I inevitably lose whenever we visit eachother.

We met on r4r of all things and had similar interests (dubbed anime). I was the only one to message him. He fell for me pretty quickly but for me it took a while - there was the Tea Incident which was the big one (I spilt burning hot tea on myself and he was insisting I take care of myself, even though I was protesting). My birthday was another big one. I wished he was with me the entire time.

On November 2 we became official and we met mid-December. He came up in early January, and I’m currently at his place (I don’t wanna leave ;.;). We’re LDR (2 states away). He is amazing with my vision (I do have sight but it isn’t great). He reads things out and helps me with stairs.

> he was insisting I take care of myself, even though I was protesting

Can you clarify, he insisted that you take care of yourself?

So I burnt myself (minor). I kept on insisting that it was fine, I was fine (while nearly crying while texting him). He kept on insisting that I was not fine and that I should get moisturiser. I had to stop being the stubborn pain I am XD
