    You should also look up Joni Eareckson. She was paralyzed at seventeen from the waist down, in the 1960's. Twenty years later, she met her husband and now its been thirty years that they've been together.
    Lots of people are in wheelchairs. Why shouldn't you try and see if you have a shot? They fall in love with you, not your legs.

    You should read "Me Before You." It's actually a good book.

    And yes, it's possible.

      Try going out with women, not girls. HUGE difference!
      Also, I'm a pretty good example of how someone can find a loving relationship unexpectedly. My wife is 42 years my junior and we have a really great relationship. She understood before we married that I will age and possibly become someone she will need to help out, but chose to marry me anyway.
      Change your attitude first, then see what happens.
      The difference between can and can not is only 3 letters, and those 3 letters determine you life's direction.

          Hey, with that attitude you've already quit. Why bother us?

      Make sure you're not just using pretty young girls/women, when you're comparing yourself to them.

      It can be compelling to think in terms of all or nothing, and make up a story about yourself that says that you just can't. If you're like me, then it may help keep the dreams intact, if there's this great divide between you and their fulfillment.

      Sure, your dreams may not be realized in their most pristine and beautiful form. If they were, you probably wouldn't even be in a wheelchair. But getting a girlfriend, even one you'd like to 'boybefriend', is probably not out of the picture.

      From my impression of how girls feel, you may have to change your attitude, though.
