What would you do when you found out on your first date that he/she is a cripple or somehow disabled?

Poster you said 'in love'. Does it matter if he's crippled, blind, deaf or dumb? Love has no boundaries.

It is true that disbled people are just as human as able-bodied people, but how many of us in all honesty would actually marry or date one?

The people saying "love is blind"/"love has no boundaries" would be the first ones to reject someone on the basis of looks or disablity. People should think before just passing comments. It is the height of hypocrisy to say things and not truly mean them.

If we were to define "crippled," would we not all find that, to somebody else, that each of us is "crippled" in our own way? 

And if that were the case, the question could be asked in this way:  Is nobody worthy of the love of anybody because we are all, with respect to somebody, crippled?

@ post

I am guessing you mean:

A cripple is a person or animal with a disability, particularly one who is unable to walk because of an injury or illness.

In that case, who cares? Huh

Cri (gini)??

Anyways you should be more specific as to the nature of the handicap.

Maybe you are one of those fellows that still operate the blind love concept.

I wish you the best  (afterall criples also need love)

I loved a girlfriend who was  physically disabled.
I did her pedicure, because she could not so.
I carried her handbag to lessen her burden.
I was very proud of her.

Nobody dared to laugh at her, because I would have torn the person to pieces intellectually and physically.

A cripple is as human as you and I.

I have taught some children suffering from Down Syndrome art and craft and I found some level of intelligence in them that was lacking in most normal people.

True love knows no disability.

Most phyically disabled persons are better than millions of humans who spiritually disabled.

I'm curious, what happened to the r/ship? Did you marry her? Or let me guess, you are married to someone who fortunately is phisically whole? There's a diffrence b/w love and pity, I hope you know that. Loving someone with a disability is easier said than done. Thats the fact.

No. Not pity.

She was super brilliant and very confident.

She is happily married now with children.

I do not love for selfish reasons.
So, I did not love her as if she needed love as charity.
She was like any other person who has the riight to choose who to spend the rest of her life with.

Love is like air
We need it to live.

Na wa for some relationship police for this Nairaland o!  Pesin say things no work out between them, weesh one come concern u weda na hin leave or na she leave.  Besides, what difference does it make if the person is physically disabled or not--last time I checked people can decide who they want or not want to be with regardless of their physical appearance.  Shuo!

Very true there is a great difference between Love and pity. Use me as your case study if you will my husband is in a wheelchair and he will be there for the rest of his life someone slammed him to the ground and broke his neck .
Forget stories about what friends said  if i had listened i would have died, funny enough all of does who laughed at me don't have husbands half as good as mine so who is laughing last now?
It is not easy like everyother thing in life but i don't think i can trade him for any other man,he can't walk around or do most things like other men  do But as i said he is my choice and am happy.

I would feel very disappointed because he should have mentioned this to me during the course of our telephone conversations.

I probably wouldnt be able to trust him.

Would you expect him to tell you everything about himself in a phone call?  Surely, you would not have divulged everything about yourself in a phone call, would you?  How would this affect one's ability to trust?  It's not as though you were deceived.  Rather, information was simply not put forth.  Had he not mentioned that he wore a size 43 shoe, would that make you not trust him?
