Joined Jan 29, Messages 3, Reaction score 1. I met a girl online friend of a friend kinda thing and we tossed a few messages back and forth, we seemed to hit it off pretty well.
She mentioned she was deaf and I didn't really think anything of it at the time. We kept writing back and forth and now we're going to make plans to meet up and I'm starting to think about how tricky this might actually be. I'm a little embarrassed to say that other than a friend who's parents are 10 onlyfans, and dating random occasions, my interaction with the hearing impaired has dating pretty limited.
I don't know sign language but she says she is great at reading lips - I can't do that too well either. Am I dooming myself to one-way conversations where she can only nod or shake her head?
I don't plan on us sitting across from each other at dinner using our phones to txt our conversations back and forth either. I guess I'm just asking if anyone else has been in a similar scenario and how it went for you.
Joined Dec 5, Messages 12, Reaction score I have no experiences to deaf, but that actually sounds kind of fun in the challenging way. Don't get frustrated, maybe get her to teach you some sign language if you're interested, and try to enjoy dating like on any other date. VKK Distinguished Member.

I will say that it is few and far between that we meet someone that we really connect with and truly want to know better. Joined Jan 4, Messages Reaction score 0. Seconded on the stay patient comment. Take a pad of paper and a pen in case all else fails. I had a deaf friend growing up he being the only deaf one and everyone else not knowing how to sign and the pen and paper proved invaluable. Joined Sep 28, Messages 20, Reaction score I dated a girl who wanted to teach and be a social worker for deaf people.
I spent some time with her friends, many of whom were deaf. I don't see any real barriers, but it will be difficult for your friends to mix, if it becomes serious.
Does anyone have experience dating a deaf person?
Joined Oct 24, Messages Reaction score 2. Echoing globetrotter's comment, the deaf community is a very different culture from anything most of us have experienced I once spent a year helping a panel of experts design a certification test for teachers of deaf students and it was pretty eye-opening.
If you're at all into fiction, you might want to check out T. The descriptions of both the interpersonal interactions between the two lovers only one of whom is deaf, as well as the insights into what this deaf woman goes through just managing with the legal and just day-to-day demands of a hearing deaf are pretty well-done IMO.
Good luck. Omar Distinguished Member. Joined Aug 27, Messages 1, Reaction score Joined Nov 24, Messages 6, Reaction score A girl that can't talk? That's my dream.
5 Tips to Follow When Dating a Deaf Person
I'm fugging around. I took ASL and it's actually not as hard as you think. The culture thing is big. It's not a disability, it's just a different culture to them. Once you understand that, you're golden. The language doesn't have as many rules as you would think. Word orders don't seem to matter as much, there aren't five hundred forms for each verb, and often the signs look just like you'd imagine a word to look like.
Don't stress. Also post her picture on here. Joined Jul 10, Messages 1, Reaction score I am fluent in ASL and have many friends in the deaf community.
Pick a Well-Lit Place

Douglas Stupid ass member Spamminator Moderator. Joined Aug 17, Messages 14, Absolutely luna amor onlyfans opinion score 2, This actually does sound very interesting, out of the ordinary, and fun.
I know I didn't say that well, but what I mean is: Would the deaf divide come to dominate our interaction? Either someone who was only interested in fooling around with a deaf girl, or someone who couldn't deal with her deafness?
