Would you date a girl with a slight limp?& what if an online date turned up with one?

Hello! I have a slight limp in my left leg due to a deformity in my left foot/ankle. I can still do things like go running and dancing (as long as I don't over do it) and wear nice shoes on a night out, but most time I have to wear special shoes with cushioning and sometimes have to use a lower leg bracket. My limp is really only blatant when I wear flat shoes (you can see more where my ankle twists. I don't have a cane or anything and I'm rarely in pain. I'm petite in height, frame and weight.

I find it quite depressing and think it puts guys off from wanting to date me. I've had guys approach me to tell me I am pretty but they then proceed to ask what is wrong with my leg and I don't know what to say because I feel like faulty goods! I have very little dating experience for my age (mid 20s) and have never had a boyfriend. I put a lot of effort into grooming and the way I dress (very feminine) and I've been working on myself for a long time to try and be my best version internally - but I feel my best will never be good enough with my disability!

I'm thinking about using online dating soon... How would you feel if a girl with a limp turned up to the date? Should I write it in my profile? Or mention it when talking back and forth before meeting? Would you be mad if I turned up without telling you first? I really don't want to deceive anyone but don't want to make it a big deal either!

Posting anon! Please be completely honest in your replies! Thank you

WHO MAKES A VIDEO OF A RANDOM WOMAN LIMPING IN PUBLIC A POSTS IT TO YOUTUBE? adssadmjsalkjdnaslmdas


Anyways, I probably wouldn't care much. If you were a nice person, a limp isn't an issue at all.

EDIT: That YouTube account is FULL of videos of women limping in public. Is it some sort of a fetish?

If it's noticeable, I would mention it in passing in your dating profile or casually let people know before you meet up - just say that you have a limp but it doesn't stop you from doing anything or being active. It's a good idea to mention it just because otherwise people might jump to conclusions when they meet you for the first time. It also gives you an opportunity to talk about it with someone before meeting so it takes away that pressure you feel when someone asks you why you're limping. It doesn't sound like it will be a big deal for people, though

You're not faulty goods at all - don't let your disability affect how you feel about yourself I promise you will find the right person. Good luck with online dating - try not to put too much pressure on it, just have fun and enjoy the experience of meeting new people
