I think how you approached her and asked her if she needed anything was good. You weren’t forceful or condescending IMO. What I’d suggest is just talk, be yourself. Pretty much what you would do with sighted people. Ask her about herself, get to know her. You guys could go out somewhere.

I think you have to read the situation. Asking every person you see on the street with a cane if they need help is over kill. If someone is clearly displaying signs of distress, I think it's only natural to offer assistance. The important piece is accepting the response when the person says yes or no regardless of what you think the outcome should be.
Regarding flirting, make sure the person knows who you are. If you wanted to flirt with this girl for instance, I would make sure to give her my name before I parted ways. Then the next time you see her say, 'Hey it's so and do. I helped you catch your bus the other day.' Scienere compliments never hurt either.

In future, you should wait for the blind person to ask for your help.

Blind girl here:

I already answered the part about whether unsolicited help is worthwhile or not--in my opinion, it's more exasperating than anything, though it's important to recognize that there's a difference between a blind person who is minding their own business, doing their own thing, versus someone who is clearly in distress. Even so, some blind folks love accepting unsolicited help, where as me, not so much.

Re:flirting--bro, read the fucking room though. Yes, I agree that treating the blind person like anyone else is important--"wow, this weather is horrible isn't it?" or "Headed anywhere interesting?" are perfectly ok questions to ask at a bus stop! But is the person engaging with you? Are they trying to put in their headphones every time you stop talking? Are they looking uncomfortable? I've been in a situation where I was on the bus and a nice enough guy was trying to flirt with me, but I just wasn't here for it. So yes, treat them normal in how you flirt with them, and also treat them normally in taking a hint when they aren't interested on top of that.

Not a blind person but be like "Ay gurl, you need a seeing eye boyfriend?"

No you did perfectly fine. :)

I might not be able to tell if someone was flirting with me... as I can’t see facial expressions any more. So I’d suggest start with your usual approach (compliments? Chatting?) and if she responds well, then ask her out! Coffee then, a drink later. Maybe offer to let her pick where - so she can choose a familiar, easy-to-navigate location.

See? Thoughtful! Kind! And easy! This way you are still yourself, and also mindful of her comfort and needs. I’m terrible at flirting, but it’s always obvious if it’s a date!!

Good luck :) and thanks for offering her help. I think it was kind. We all need help from time to time, eyes or not.

I think you did the right thing.

I’ve had people ask me if I wanted help and most of the time when I tell them I’m fine, they just get on with their day.

Hi i am blind

Good god, man, just be yourself!

There are some people who take the faintest hint of thinking they're not just as competent as sighted people to mean that you think they're supposed to be inside, listening to the radio someone turned on for them, and being spoonfed.

There's nothing wrong with asking people if they need help. It takes a split second for me to say "no" if I don't, and I don't even have to break my stride. Don't touch or pull me, but words don't bother me.

As far as flirting goes, I'd get next to her and just say "Hey, miss." and then whatever line you'd normally go for.

As for flerting, just talk to them like you usually would with a sighted person :)

Edit: a word.
