Cupids Dating Blog

Their meeting is a bit of a strange story. My friend wasn't exactly looking to meet a beautiful deaf girl specifically. In fact, when he came across her he hadn't even started looking through any personals, he was just trying to find a good dating site to join. He was reading reviews and following links and, by mistake, he clicked on a link to Deaf Singles. He was about to backtrack when a picture and a short little blurb caught his eye. He read it and was hooked.

So, suddenly, my friend, who has no hearing problems whatsoever and has no idea what he's getting himself into, is singing up to this site so he can track down this girl. She'd written one of the funniest, most beautiful personals that you can imagine and my friend was hooked right then and there.

Like I said, as embarrassing as it is to admit, I was a little worried about him for a while. People worry about the age match gap and all manner of other things that they think are deal breakers, and then suddenly my friend is head-over-heels for a gal he can barely communicate with, or so I thought. Really, the only person that had trouble understanding what was going on was me.

They spent quite a while chatting over the Internet and getting to know each other before they met, so when they finally did they already had a pretty good idea of what to expect from each other. Now that they've been together for quite a while, my friend is learning sign language and if they ever had any communication problems they sure don't now.

People say that there's someone out there for everyone. I don't know if that's true, but if it is that certainly doesn't mean that someone is who you expect them to be. You've got to be able to see what really matters to you in a person, and that usually doesn't have anything to do with the things you'd put on a list of preferences.
