Actually, it is not the physical sexual aspect of a relationship that I crave. Of course, that's a big issue for guys, to be sure, and might be the underlying reason they drop out or not make contact in the first place. It doesn't matter that they can't (as if it would be proper anyway) ask about that directly, because it's not a very good possibility in my life.

Yeah, so only a disabled guy would be interested in me. I went and looked at a few sites for disabled people's dating. Very small membership, of course. No try it "lite" before you buy either.

Thanks for your comments, and support.

I'm a volunteer with the Boy Scouts ... plenty of men of all kinds there ... the good ones are taken as usual.

I've been totally alone for 17 years, and semi alone for 10 before that even though married (he traveled) . Guess I need to resign myself to the idea that I will die alone, too.

It's just tough, as I know you know. I have no one to talk with except my health care support team members. And yes, though they have been there for nearly the entire 24 years of my disability, it's a few minutes to an hour at a pop, and I pay them for it.

I eat every meal alone. I do talk with the restaurant service personnel ... and I appreciate them putting up with me.

I do now have an assistant that comes in every week. But she needs to do stuff for me, not stand and chat. Though I do make her sit and chat with me at times!

There are many days ... like the weekends ... when I speak to no one for the whole day or two. This being a long weekend, it will be for 3 days in a row.

I have been requesting a wheelchair accessible van from the insurance company for nearly 5 years ... and a stronger push this year. I am mobile, but to get out and walk the zoo, or go to a ball game ... I need the chair.

Ok I'm ranting.
