Ha, I don't believe in online dating for this very reason. It's very impersonal, to the point where it becomes a serious limitation for us. I'm the type to trust more in personal encounters.

> Focus on yourself and things you enjoy. If you are passionate about a subject, join groups for it. You will be more likely to find people like you that way and it will be by happenstance. But really work on things you enjoy or want to get better at - building confidence is very important. Relationships will come naturally after that.

I had the same problem as the original poster my entire life, until I went totally blind and gave up completely. The fact that my area of interest is software engineering, which has proportionally only slightly more women than construction, never helped either. In addition I never had self-confidence issues, at least not related to my lack of sight, as before going totally blind I considered myself pretty normal, and in fact it took me a very long time to realize why people avoided relationships with me. I also became financially independent at 17, and fully independent at 24, so lack of dependence wasn't the problem either.

Disabilities are a huge turn-off for the overwhelming majority of people. It's politically correct to say otherwise, but this is a fact.

Thank you for the kind words I've been in a rut lately. I thought things after college would have gotten better some by having an education but I'm stuck working a dead end job but at this point it is way better than being stuck at home so I think going back to school could help my prospects some.

You can still both go to the movies? Being blind shouldn’t stop that.

Yeah it’s not easy l know plenty of decent guys who are just average with no kinds of disabilities and they are alone. So it’s an uphill battle even when a girl was okay with the idea of there boyfriend having a disability they would get sick of it after awhile and become overwhelmed and grumpy In my experience.

Yeah to be honest I think people are just afraid of others who are different In some type of way that is noticeable and they have a hard time dealing with it or something lol.

The only problem with that for me spesificly would be it'd be cool to get advice from like fello blind people, but I wouldn't wanna date a blind girl, I'd much rather date a girl who can see. Then again, that's just my personal preffance

And that service's name? Blind Date.

I’m glad you were able to find someone. I hope it works out for you in the long run since you know how hard it was to find a decent woman.
