Disabled dating scotland

Young, Free, Single and Disabled

Many people find dating and making friends difficult whatever their background and whether they have a disability or not. There are a number of different ways to meet people and what suits one individual might not suit another. Some people prefer to go out to a social event while others may prefer to have initial contact using an online dating website. Groups are currently running in Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Aberdeen and Falkirk. They organise several social events every month which include ten pin bowling, meals out, theatre trips and quiz nights. They also organise dating events including speed dating and mix and mingle nights. The LATE events are open to all but especially welcoming to people with learning disabilities and runs 3 to 4 times per year. Get2gether believe that everyone has the right to love and friendship. They arrange social activities for people with disabilities in safe and friendly places in Edinburgh and the Lothians. From Wiff Waff ping pong tournaments, to the panto, speed dating, dancing and meals out, and much more.

Emily, from Enhance the UK , talks about her experiences of online dating with a disability, and why she thinks it is worth doing. My friends, both online dating veterans and virgins to the scene, helped me out. We encouraged each other to be confident and honest, as that really is the best way to go. The second hurdle with online dating really starts when the matches are made and the notifications start coming in.
