Congratulations!

It definitely gives you a hell of a lot more freedom.

I've found they dont. I was told by a girl once "I dont want defective eyed children"

I had another one tell me she couldnt deal with me having vision issues since she had a brother with autism. Then asked me if my condition was contageous (nystagmus)

Ive had 2 that I know of go out and cheat on me when I couldn't drive because hey! How am I going to find out?

After 18 years of a pathedic dating history Ive called it quits at age 33. Its just a hell of alot easier.

No, they wouldn't unless your weird about it. If you make a huge deal about being blind and try to hide it its going to come off a lot more awkward than simply agknoleging it casually. Make jokes about it too so they don't feel awkward about it too. And well, like anyone, blind or not, have a life. Have hobbys you enjoy doing so your actually an interesting person. Nobody's gonna like a boring person, regardless of sight. blindness on its own is really not a huge deal. There are many blind people who get on fine leading completely normal lives with fully sighted partners. I don't think its always the sighted people that find it awkward but the blind people, too.

When I was actively looking for potential partners it was a fucking shitshow. People would be really interested in my achievements..until I told them I'm blind. Most of the time I was cowardly ghosted. Some outright told me they weren't interested in dating someone who's blind.
