Online dating can be tough at the best of times, but it can be particularly challenging when one has a disability as well. The question of when to tell a potential long-term relationship date of the disability is a hard one to answer.

All relationships, if they are expected to last, are built on trust and honesty. Fear sometimes gets in the way and this is understandable. No one wants to be rejected at any time, but it is more hurtful to be rejected for a disability.

Half the battle is fought with an online disabled dating site. People who become members of these sites expect to meet and become friends with disabled singles. However, there is still that reservation and fear the relationship that has developed to the point of a first date might end in disaster before it even began if the disability was known.

If the question comes up in email or in a chat, be honest with the other person. Tell them the nature of the disability. This will weed out anyone who cannot handle the disability and save the person time and energy, allowing them to continue to look for that right partner. If they other person does not react negatively, then the first date will be a pleasant one and not full of anxiety before it even starts.

If the disability is not immediately obvious, the person can see how the dates are going before disclosing the disability. One must weigh the importance of honest in building a long-term relationship with the fear of exposure and rejection.

Honesty is crucial in the beginning stages of a romantic relationship.
