I agree....I understand if some Deaf want to date only Deaf. It would be the same in all cultures. For me, it was not my intent to specifically date or fall in love with a deaf person. It's just when I met my former guy friend, it was electrical!! shall I say. I had never felt that way about...

Thank you Nic. It is true; a direct approach would have been nicer from my guy friend. I would've known months ago, and could walked away then. I've been told that the Deaf are more direct, but I have not experienced this. The ones I met are more indirect; my guy friend included. So, I am...

It doesn't matter to me. Communication is the key. If two people really want to be together; they find a way. Mutual trust and respect is important.

Here's another thing that I don't understand. With my former guy friend, most of the time I couldn't understand his signing. He would get annoyed at me because I kept asking him to repeat. Additionally, even his english was very difficult to understand So, I thought it was me that didn't...

Well, I really can say my deaf guy friend, whatever....we're done, like really done. I can't even be his friend. He's hot and cold even with friendship. One month he's friendly; we're emailing each other, etc. and then all of a sudden he ignores me. Won't answer texts, emails, complete...

ok....so now....I need to wear a hearing aid in my left ear. Is there such a thing as a good brand? and is it true that insurance doesn't cover it?

Well....I'll add my two cents...if it's not to late...lol.... At first, as a hearing person, I thought like every other hearing person that assumed CI's would allow a deaf person to hear (assuming it was natural sounds) was great. I could not understand why it was so controversial. Why not be...

Well....you need to get a lawyer, and she will need one to. The one that files the divorce will lay out the terms of the divorce then it goes to the other side. Your wife may accept the terms or contest it. Her lawyer will state what she doesn't agree with and will submit her terms, and if...

I went to the doctor, and it is confirmed now that I am losing my hearing in my left ear. I was noticing it since 2013. Now, when I'm at mall or in room with many people talking at once; and someone talks to me. I cannot hear what they say. I'm always asking them to repeat again. When my...

She will literally walk into my room to stand in front of me, talk down to me, and become defensive upon my request to sit down or, at the very least, crouch so i can understand her better. And if i stand up, she will back up and lower her voice, cocking her head to shoot me a weird look upon my...

Truthfully, I really believe my guy friend talks to me because he knows me, and I'm there, but he is not interested in me romantically. He prefers dating a deaf woman. He was in a really bad relationship with a deaf woman several years ago, and he claimed it was really bad. However, he...

I agree with what you mentioned. My guy friend who is deaf will sign to me in english order, but when he doesn't want me to know what he's talking about, he'll switch to ASL when talking about hearing issues to other deaf, and doesn't want me included. This annoys me, because I can't follow...

Your situation sounds just like what I am going through with my guy friend. You could read my thread...one thing I learned is that their actions must match what they say. If not, then it's not sincere. However, I understand how the anxiety of not knowing for sure where you stand with them can...

Does real time communication mean the same as when two hearing people talk to each other there's no need to finger spell words or say slow down....etc. Or, even they don't have to accomodate the hearing person and sign in english order.....they can just sign in ASL?

well.....I'm not looking specifically for a deaf boyfriend. It turned out that when I met him, he was deaf. Since then, I have met other deaf and hearing guys; none of them I found as interesting as my guy friend. Some of the deaf guys I have met told me that they only date deaf women? why...

Well......I tried to move on ......, but I can't. My guy friend had such a huge impact on me that there isn't anyone that I am interested in, and it doesn't matter if they are deaf or hearing. He's the only one that I was really attracted to, and completely in love with. I never felt this way...

Thanks. This experience has been a real learning experience for me. Funny thing about this whole thing is that I wasn't looking specifically for a deaf boyfriend. It just turned out this guy was deaf. I met anothr guy who flat out stated that since I was a hearing person, he would not talk...

As time moves forward, I've come to learn that I think the signs were always there that he wasn't as interested as I was in him. First, he never asked me any questions about me, and there was one time when he was ill, and I cooked food for him, and when I told him I was going to bring it to...

It was hard with my guy friend that was deaf. It was really hard to communicate with him in the end. He would ask me to make doctor apt, but would get annoyed if I asked him to tell me which day and time. He wanted me to pick the day and time. The part that has been especially difficult is...
