I would argue that if the women you meet are hesitant to get involved with you due to a seizure disorder then you would be best served looking elsewhere, unless you dig stupid chicks :-). At what point do you have the obligatory "I have seizures and don't drive." conversation? How do you present the subject when that happens?

I get really hung up on the driving thing myself. But it occurs to me that there are alot of people out there who don't drive. For many many reasons. I've also noticed with other conditions I have that other people really don't need to know about my medical conditions unless they're in my inner circle, close to my heart, it takes time to get that close to a person. So why tell a person right up front that you have a seizure disorder? Let them get a chance to know you first and vice versa. Then if they "runaway", well they weren't the right person were they? Cause the right person doesn't runaway.

Yeah, I have a suggestion, keep in mind the right one wont be scared away. You just haven't found her yet. Like was said earlier, it's when you stop looking, when you're happy with yourself, that the right one comes into your life and you're able to see it rather than if you're so absorbed in what's not there that what is there comes and goes without your notice. Make sense?
