I only walked him into a rear view mirror, and I also almost made him trip on a curb because I didn’t think to come at it at a perpendicular angle.

I met someone on online dating who happens to be blind and we’re going on a date tomorrow that I’m really looking forward to! r/Blind/about/moderators Subreddits you may like:įull disclosure, I’m not blind.
