Every visual condition is slightly different but I'd think he may not be able to recognize your looks in a dark room.



I'm legally blind and was in a fraternity in college. Half the time I couldn't recognize people during parties at night (wasn't as big an issue if day drinking in sunshine).



If I were you, I'd approach him first during the party. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Can even just go with the "heyyyy it's you from last week/whatever time period, it was fun."



BTW even if he wasn't visually impaired, it's never wrong to approach someone you are interested in, if you spot them first. Don't overthink it and just shoot your shot. My wife approached me first.




Edit: follow up, when I was doing party stuff and not able to make out faces well, I'd walk up and talk to lots of people guy, girl, whatever just to talk. If vibe was good I'd keep talking if it was bad move on.


This a way to find good friends or romance partners.


I was never approaching people specifically looking for one or the other.


As far as girls, met my wife of course, a few wing women before that, a few basically little sisters who I'd help look out for when drunk, etc. Hell 2 of my wife's bridesmaids she met through ms lol.

I recently had a hat made that says:

>Ask.
>
>Do not assume.

I am legally blind because I have very narrow tunnel vision (some people call it pinhole vision). I can see well enough on most days to read, write, and use a computer (or smart phone) for brief periods but not enough to do things like safely walk without the use of my mobility (white) cane. People will sometimes get confused when they see me feeling the way in front of me with white can one minute then reading something on my phone the next. The ones I have no respect, or time, for are then ones that are too polite to ask me about the apparent discrepancy while being happy to be antagonistic or make snide remarks because they assume I am faking. The ones I respect, and will answer, are the ones that are rude enough to ask me about the apparent contradiction. Those I usually get alone with well.

They guy obviously thought you were hot enough to flirt, talk to, and make out with. If it's really important enough to know if he thought you were hot because of your looks, the way you moved, the sound of your laugh, something he heard you say, or even the way you smelled, then be rude (and honest) enough to ***ask (him). Do not assume.***

Legally blind covers too wide a spectrum. None of us can even guess what he can see under any conditions. The only one that really know what he saw that night or might see in the future is him. So, again, ask (him). Do not assume.

If you guys gelled that well why not let things play out and see where they go?

Good luck and have fun!

Definitely approach him at the next party, if you are interested. Considering the low light levels, it's doubtful he saw enough to find you/recognize you in the future. I'm sure he will recognize your voice though, once you say hi to him again. This is all assumptions though so you can also ask him directly. Most blind people are OK with you asking about what they can see. Just keep it casual and friendly! Good luck!

I agree with what others said. I‘d just like to add that when approaching him, I wouldn‘t ask if he remembers you as that will put him on the spot. I often find it hard to recognise voices after hearing them only once or twice. I‘d rather just tell him who you are (e.g. I‘m [name] from [the party where you met]). I always find it really helpful when people do that.

Maybe, but don't count on it. Do him a favor and just walk up and talk to him if you're interested.

The biggest thing worth emphasizing is don't assume that he's ignoring you if you try to wave or something and he doesn't reciprocate. Even if he's looking directly at you, he might not see.

Blind guy here. In a crowded place, it is very unlikely that he could find you. So you should go and approach himself if that's what you wanna do. You dont need to ask if you remember me or such he will most likely remember you by your voice. If he didnt remember, well he could always ask. That's what everyone does.

i hope he remembers my voice ! thank you for the advice !!!

Oh yes, if you like the guy, why not approach again, get to know him more?

Made out or, not made out, I think you should introduce yourself, although, I have absolutely no idea how you are gonna do that job, Lol!

He might or might not recognize you, people will sound very different in party environment, specially when there are lot of noises around and you have to shout at people to let them know what you want to say. In a scylent environment, the things are different.

How did it go with the follow up?

Even without blindness being an issue there could be any number of reasons he approached you, so I feel like trying to reason that out leads only to madness. Whether he can recognize you or not is really dependent on what he can and can't see, which is very different per-person. I wouldn't overthink it too much. Did he get your name? I feel like anyone who has trouble recognizing faces will probably be good at recognizing voices, so even if not, you should be able to introduce yourself as someone who met him at the party and let him figure it out from there. Also you'll get a clue when you do approach him and he either does or doesn't recognize you.
