Dear Readers and Bloggers,
I have been dating and spending time with men for almost 40 years. Here are some tips that I have found to be successful.
1. Coffee bars (Starbucks, Pete's, etc.) Women and men are very friendly and helpful making it easy to start a conversation.
2. Any religious gathering as long as you're willing to say "Hi."
3. Dating sites (Plenty Of Fish, Match) Be honest - don't be afraid to talk about your disability.
4. Parks and Outdoor Events. Just keep your eyes open!
5. Public Places (malls, theaters and restaurants) Don't be shy!

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI recently launched a mobile application for adults with disabilities. Inspired by my brother who has struggled make friends or have relationships, Glimmer is the first mobile application designed for disability inclusion. We really need users to try the application out and share feedback on ways to improve. It's completely free to download and I strongly believe it could enrich the lives of millions of people around the world. Please contact me at any time if you're interested in discussing further. I appreciate your time and consideration!
Best,
Geoff
