1. I do not want discuss my blindness on a first date
2. The phrases "I've never dated a blind chick, this awesome." "You're pretty for a blind girl." "This will totally broaden my horizon." Will result in immediate termination of our date.
3. Deep breaths. I can tell the difference between ignorance and being an ass. I won't take offense if you say something stupid.
4. I'm not made of china.
5. Words related to sight are still
apart of my vocabulary.
6. You do not need to slow down your walking pace when I'm holding on to your arm
7. For those us blindies who can't read a Braille menu I will usually have an request for chicken, fish, or salad. It saves time instead of reading the whole menu to me.
8. Do not speak for me if wait staff directs my order towards you.
9. I'm sorry in advance if I trip you, hit, or knock over I'm a klutz as well as blind
10. There is an ever pervasive myth that blind people don't care about looks. THIS IS A LIE! If you want to date because you think you can skimp on taking care of yourself or you're lying to me and you're not what I'm looking for as far as looks go we will have issues.
11. If you're gonna tease me about my blindness Helen Keller, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles jokes are over used and boring
12. I would rather ask for help first. Yes I know it's silly and prideful but just let have this okay?
13. It is okay to ask if I need help and just because I turn you down on this occasion doesn't mean I will bite your head off for asking. (Well I might on a really downer day. Sorry in advance!)
14. At some point I will call you in tears because I've gotten lost (this only happens to me because I'm a derp. Other blind girls are not derps who start crying like puppies when they get lost in public)
15. The tip will pop off my cane and you will have awkwardly scramble for it (Sorry)
16. I will say "sorry" and "excuse me" a LOT (again this is just me cuz I'm a derp)
17. I will hug/kiss someone in greeting I thought was you at least once (more than likely in front of you. Again sorry)
18. I will accidentally sit on your pets at least once (Sorry)
