cp specific dating sites

I have been wondering if there are dating sites out there specificly for people with CP. I would like to meet a girl, that like me has CP. I think it would be cool. Because then I would not feel like I would have to explain myself. and just to meet a girl that doesn't judge before she gets to know me.
if anybody knows of any of these sites. I would be grateful for any info on them :)

Hi Justin,

I've never used any of these but there was a big article on dating sites for people with health conditions in the NY Times a bit ago. The woman they profile in the article has CP. So maybe this will be helpful?

(I never remember if this site censors links, but if you search the NYT site you should find it.)

Why do you feel you need to date someone with CP? I have never dated or married someone with a disability. I do just fine. I am 43 however, but evan when I was your age dating was never an issue for me. I know if i dated someone with CP it would be to challaging for me to deal with my CP and theirs.... JMO.. Good Luck!!

@tazdevil, I guess your right. I just wish women in my hometown would stop wanting just "to be friends". And ask me out for a change LOL! I've been rejected so many times. it starts wearing on my confidence. And I know I should not worry about that. But women here are really close minded. I think I have a lot to offer women. They just need to not see my disability first!! I Don't. thank you for the insight :)

I totally understand where you are coming from, sometimes it feels as though dating someone with CP would be best becuse then you don't have to explain yourself but I don't think you can plan that you will fall in love wiht some one with CP, when it happens it happens if they have CP great, if not great. It's all about who you make a connection with. Dating is hard regardless of CP and it does add an extra element but I have found the more open you are about it the easier it is. You'll find someone, don't give up! :)

It is a good Idea. I tried Match.com. But I did not have much luck.

try christian dating services people who are relgoiuse tend to be less judgemental. There are sites that have dating conultants that help you match personality such as e-harmany. I tried match.com it's a waste of money.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    So voc rehab finally got in touch with me...it took like six months finally.  The voc rehab person that they assigned to me is a lawyer and extremely knowledgable on disability law and he seems to know a great deal about how to get people placed in jobs and how to make their resumes pass ATS.  I was really surprised at how articulate and energetic he is.  I guess my question is how much I...
