Dating with Epilepsy
Sun, 02/12/2006 - 11:08Topic: Corner Booth
Dating is never easy right? When do you feel it's the appropriate time in a new reltionship to discuss that you have epilepsy? How early do you bring it up when you meet someone?
Also, do you know of any online dating sites where I can meet others with Epilepsy? :-)
Thanks!

Don't count on the fact that others with E will be so willing to date...I know someone and he turned me down flat on the excuse of the E. he says he just doesn't want to date...

Dating is really hard because you're never sure when the right time is to reveal it, plus you're not sure what the reaction is gonna be like, for the longest time, I've been very open and just put it out there and if they can't deal with it or have any problems with it then it's there loss not mine. I've never met, let alone dated anyone with epilepsy, and I feel like they would be the only ones who can really understand what I go through. I'm 25 male and currently living in northern california, I was born and raised in London, England and I can't get rid of this damn accent:) Thanks for reading
