nope i wouldnt
why not are there challenges?
My SO is hearing. We've been together 4 years. 95% it is smooth sailing. But there is always the occasional situations when I get upset, frustrated, even crying. Those primarily happen in group settings when we are out with friends. His friends are super-sensitive to making sure I stay in the loop -- they're so great about it -- but ultimately sometimes things fail. I have accepted that for as long as I'm with a hearing SO, there will always be situations like that. It's nobody's fault. But as long as it's just us 2 at home or someplace together, then it's all good. He's doing a terrific job of trying to learn sign language.
Yes. Already dated a bunch. Would rather date a hearing over a deafie for many reasons that I will not disclose.
Out of my own curiosity would any of you date a hearie, I see many post about the shortage of a good deaf mate? Also what are the challenges that come along with dating a hearie? Just curious

already did. all of them. for next relationship - I don't care if she's a hearie or deafie but as long as she knows ASL (doesn't have to be THAT proficient)
btw - there's no shortage of a good deaf mates... just a shortage of good mate
I meant no harm in my quote, I was just repeating some of the words I have read here many times, and you are absolutely correct a shortage of good mates period
I apologize if I offended anyone
would anyone care to share with me any of the challenges that come along with dating a hearie?
If you won't find hearing...want find deaf guy or girl.
It will hard to find deaf partner on your criteria. It never work out...some of my friends who is former gallaudet students, realize they found hearing themselves but not at gallaudet.
I had experienced in deaf community events and gallaudet.
Lots of deafies there but hopefully, in the future, hearing students can enroll cuz it better social and balance.
If you social with deaf at gallaudet, where will you make friends with hearing?
It is not good for me grew up in school for the deaf in long time. But went to csun and cornell is awesome for me had experience and social with hearie girls who can learn each other. It doesn't matter if they sign or not. But personality and interests are good what I got.
