    First date (I am fully hearing going out with hoh girl)

    I am hearing and my husband is Deaf. For our first date, we went to a cafe and I brought my laptop. I didn't know any ASL back then, so he tried to read my lips at first. After that, we typed back and forth in a Word document on my laptop. We had a great time! I would suggest you text her and...

    A Quiet Place movie

    Has anyone seen it? What do you think? 1: I think it's great that a Deaf actress (Millicent Simmonds) got to play a Deaf role! 2: I read that Millicent taught the other actors sign to better communicate with her. So it's not as if the hearing actors only learned the signs for the script. I...

    I looked up that book on their library website and no good. However, there are other books/DVDs by Rachel Coleman, so I think I will suggest them. Thank you!

    Other alarm clock?

    My husband is Deaf and he uses a bed shaker alarm clock. It works well, but if I want to sleep in and he needs to get up early, I get woken up by his alarm. Does anyone know of another alarm clock that can wake him up and not me? Thanks!

    Bad interpreters at mainstream college

    Hello! I know someone that is Deaf and attending a mainstream university. Unfortunately, some of the interpreters he has had while attending that university have been subpar. The agency that the interpreters come from have a contract with the university. The interpreters are from another state...

    Deaf Dating Sites?

    My fiance is Deaf, I'm hearing. We met on okcupid.com. Maybe use a free dating site like that, advertise that you're Deaf, and maybe you'll get lucky and find a Deaf woman on there. I don't know of any Deaf dating sites that have a good reputation. The shame of it is with dating sites: women get...

    Surfing a dating site.

    I found my now fiancé through okcupid.com. We messaged back and forth and met up in real life about a week later. He had some other conversation with women in the website before me, but they never lead to anything more. He was upfront about being Deaf and using ASL to communicate in the first...

    Hearing deaf sexuality

    Story time! I am hearing and my fiancé is Deaf. I didn't know any sign language before I met him. We started out with texting and typing back and forth to communicate. Then I started learning sign from him and books, and college classes later on. Prior to him, I didn't have much sexual...

    Non-signing Hearing Partners?

    Oops! I did not mean to sound judgmental. Maybe I should have used the word "surprised" or described my feeling as "didn't expect that" or something. I admitted what I had been feeling at the time. My friend always signed when I saw her at college. She was born profoundly deaf. Her hearing...
