I'm hearing...girlfriend is Deaf. I love all the qualities in her as a woman...and it just so happened that she is Deaf. Do you see the difference?

I'd been studying to become an interpreter way before my girlfriend (a hearie like me) and started dating and all of my classes encouraged socializing with the local Deaf population so at one point I just couldn't help but think, "Hm, wonder what'd happen if I met a nice Deaf woman around my age with similar interests?"
It might be a fetish, but I don't think it is. I'm Hispanic and it might just be I'm interested in dating someone different: a white woman, black, European, etc. because with each culture it's a different experience.
Try checking out if your local community college offers ASL classes because learning how to communicate is paramount! At first you might need to carry a notebook pad and a pen but it shows you're trying.
