- Im 18 and i do have a problem in the dating department

I'm 22, have yet to really go on a date...partially by choice, and partially situational, and partially in that no one has asked me since I was 15ish. I have supportive guy friends...but some of them are gay (and married) so that isn't exactly an option. One of them is pretty awesome though. He knows about my Turner's, and last night sends me a message on Facebook saying "I read up for several hours on Turner's..." WOW is all I could say.

I never had any self confidence when it came to boys and dating, but I have now been with my boyfriend a year and 8 months, and he is so supportive and understanding, even when I have really low days, he is my rock, and I'm sure this will happen for you too

Dating - quality, not quantity.
You can all afford to be picky.

I assure you if you like scummy boyfriends with no or poor intentions dating will not be an issue, but probably will pose risk of becoming a problem.

And then one day I decided I didn't want a male person in my life, single was great, I liked it a lot! And I changed my life toward just being happy and living healthy.
I loved my job and had a secure foundation to a good career.

And then I met a man who'd two years later become my husband.
I wasn't closed to having a partner, but also entirely happy to be single.

The difference wasn't the looking or not looking. The difference was he was the first man I'd met who was good enough to be my husband.

and then I found out I had a third mosaic TS.

And we are living happily ever after...

I am 28 and had a heck of a time dating. My first engagement he broke it off when I told him that I had TS. He looked at me like I was infected or something. Second man we actually got to the marriage step and up until he found out that my chances of having children was very slim
to none he cheated on me which resulted in a divorce. At that point I gave up on men that was in the beginning of 2008. Four years later I met my wonderful fiance. He knows all about TS and three days after we started dating was caught by his family "researching". LOL

I apologize for rambling....I guess what I am trying to say is that when the time is right you will find that special someone and he will love you no matter what and he will be very supportive and understanding. Don't give up you are a beautiful person on the inside and out.

I know what you ladies are going through. For me, it is easier to go on the occasional date locally, and text and talk about things in their own time, then "present your case" so to speak to someone who lives far away. I have tried to get someone states away to like me enough to want to get involved, I am embarrassed to say, and on a couple of occasions, when I told them a little about it they researched it, got overwhelmed, and backed out (even tho not everything even applied to me.) I tend to say too much too soon, whatever the case. I know a lot of us will find great relationships with prayer, patience, time, and trial and error.

For years I struggled with dating. I was most concerned with the infertility issues and when to disclose that information to prospective suitors. I have been left before because of this. I currently have the most amazing boyfriend. We have been together for a long time. He respects my disorder and understands my limitations. In 35 years, this is the first man that can do this. Someone is out there for you. Be honest, proud and strong. *hugs*

Almost every guy that I've told about my Turners has been very accepting. I have Turners Mosaic so they have no idea until I tell them as I don't have any physical characteristics. My current boyfriend of almost two years is very supportive and is ok with an egg donor or adoption. Do not be afraid to date. I think most guys are very accepting. I would tell them if/when things start getting serious but remember to have fun and get out there.

Dating is very hard for me, I am 33 and I have only had a few bfs that have never been serious or long term. I feel uncomfortable with myself, it has nothing to do with explaining about the having a child situation, because there are men out there that do not want children and will love you anyways and they will help figure out a way if you both want to have children. I just get very nervous around men I still feel like a child lol, and very uncomfortable with my body. I hear a lot of girls get more comfortable the older they get, that's true I have to say I am a bit more comfortable now then I was when I was younger, hopefully it just gets better from here on in.

I know what you mean. I am new to the diagnosis of Turners. Even though I had surgery for Coarctation of the Aorta when I was a young child. The doctors were not able to pick up on the Turners for quite a few years as I had Mosaic Turners.... Unfortunately I have some eye problems that make it apparent that I may have a few health issues. So it comes up pretty early on in the dating discussions. I am not going to lie and say that dating has been easy in the least. Every time I go to go out I think (is he going to mind I may not be able to conceive a child) or will he notice I cancelled a date due to two doctors visits? But all in all, so far most of the nice guys have continued to be "nice". I just have to stay strong and keep going out on dates. It is more about myself and keeping a positive mind frame than it is about the guy. Most guys have taken it pretty well.....it me that has insecurity's sometimes lol! I appreciate the positive comments on this thread, from the married woman out there. =)

Well, I am 22 and I have never been on a date or held hands with anyone. I've been asked out once by a boy when I was 19, but something always stood in our way and the date never happened.

The worst part of it is, I am a hopeless romantic and I do believe in love, it's just that I don't believe it will ever happen to me since I am convinced that in the end it will be just another heartbreak, sooner or later. sometimes I think that it is better being single - that way, I don't weigh anybody down with my issues, and nobody has to give up their chance of having a family for me. Plus, I am an introvert and I like my solitude, even though my heart gets very heavy sometimes.

All what I have read on here is exactly what I would say. I have experienced most of this. So hard telling a boyfriend that you cant have children.

I am dating a girl with Turners Syndrome, and I enjoy everyday I see her, which is everyday except Saturday and Sunday, I don’t judge her by her ability to have kids, and I never would, nobody should do that, I love her for the great, funny girl she is, and I am glad she has come into my life. Plus, I am Autistic, so things are working out great ever since I told her that. She is a great girl, and deserves better than the life she has right now, and if there was something I could do about that, I would in a second.
