Hi everyone I’m 21 years old and have mild cerebral palsy, I’d like to get myself out there and hope it meet someone, I was just wondering if anyone knows of dating apps or any local events that are good for meeting disabled young adults? 
Thank you!

    Hey @Darce21, how are you today? Thanks for sharing 😁
    I’m wondering how you may like to meet somebody? What kind of activities do you enjoy?
    There are quite a few apps and sites out there. Have you looked or tried any yet?
    Sorry for all the questions! If you would like some dating app/sites recommendations, I’m happy to help

    Hey @Leo_Aces
    I’m good thanks how are you? 
    Thanks for getting back to me! 
    I don’t mind how I meet someone,
    weather it’s online or not, I’ve tried tinder and badoo, had no
    luck. 
    any recommendations would be helpful thank you!

    Hey @Darce21, I’m good thanks.
    Cool, I definitely think finding activities and communities either online or in person, is a good way to start meeting like minded people,

    Regarding sites and apps, 
    Taimi- it says that it’s mainly for the LGBTQIA+ community but also users seem quite open minded around Disability https://taimi.com/

    Facebook Dating is now growing in popularity and there’s the option to make friends too

    I’ve found Tinder and Match can be a little hit and miss

    Oh no @dylan89 - hopefully soon  :( Eventbrite is, generally, a good place to see what is happening in your local area too  :)

    Try http://www.hft.org.uk/luv2meetu%2C It's a disability focused dating site, mainly for neurodiverse adults, remember that program that was on Channel 4 a few years back, The Undateables? They made it.

    @Darce21 hi @Darce21 im Emily and I have mild cerebral palsy too so I understand how hard the dating game is in general. Have you tried an app called datability its a dating app for people wirh disabilities like ourselves ive been there a few times myself created a profile and everything and then end up deleting my profile because self doubt starts to creep in. You can download datability from Google app store. Im happy to talk farther if youd like to talk to someone 🙂 good luck with the search! @pooleemily29

    Hi@Darce21,

    I have mild CP too. I met my long-term boyfriend on Hinge.

    Dating is difficult, but it is possible to meet someone. Take it at your own pace. Be friendly, and show your personality.

    I know other people with CP who have met their partners on online dating sites.

    Good luck.

    Lucy
