Haha thank you :) And congrats on your baby! I'm just hoping I run into him again soon so I can apologize for being an idiot!

Oh wow. I KNEW it was a sign I knew... and that's one of the absolute most basic. I'm 8 months pregnant, can I use pregnancy brain as an excuse for that severe mental lapse?

It was the sides of the fingers that touched, not the tips. Should've been clearer :)

I'm trying to learn ASL, but my progress (due to having only books and no classes, and no one to practice with regularly) has been slow. Well I just had a very brief encounter with a Deaf man, and we had a fairly successful conversation in ASL. There was however one sign that I didn't...

I see someone asked about pansexuality... Basically, it just means that you like people for who they are, and that gender really doesn't come into it. Some prefer this to "bisexual", because BI-sexual implies that there are only two genders. "Pansexual" is more inclusive to transgender people...

Hmm. Its a tough one, but bear in mind that even as you worry about how to get over it, you're thinking about it. Which keeps it going :dizzy: I'd just recommend focusing on your job while you're at work, and focusing on the best qualities of your girlfriend. The crush should fizzle out...

I'm HoH, so I can't personally speak for deaf/hearing relationships, but I can speak for my HoH/hearing relationship. I've only actually dated hearing people, and some have been frustrated with my hearing loss or didn't seem to want to make any concessions (walking to the room I was in to talk...

I have two small tattoos, and my boyfriend has one larger one. A few people I've dated have been tattooed. It doesn't bother me at all- DEPENDING on what the tattoo is of. Tasteful and meaningful tattoos can be a great form of self-expression.

I'm bisexual, and it seems I'm more attracted to sort of androgynous people. I don't tend to find myself really attracted to either very girly/effeminate or very butch/macho. I'm fairly middle-of-the-road in a lot of ways myself. For example, I'm usually in heels (but I'm also pretty short...

Hey everyone! The HLAA (Hearing Loss Association of America) is doing their Walk4Hearing (funds raised go toward captioning, hearing aid assistance programs, etc) in Dayton, OH on May 19th. I know there are a few people in here from OH and was wondering if anyone might be there? If you're...

I'm primarily white with some Native American, and my nationality is American. I've predominantly dated others who are at least primarily white, but that's not been so much by choice as just a result of the fact that I've lived in some fairly vanilla places. As for nationality- I've dated...

Glad to see Starkey has been mentioned! My situation is similar- I was told a couple of years ago that I'm losing my hearing and should get HAs. I was also a student and had no idea how to afford them, so my audi gave me an application for Starkey's Hear Now program. You have to qualify-...

Because I'm losing my own hearing

Looking directly at the person while speaking so that he/she can read your lips. If he/she uses an interpreter, look at the Deaf person while speaking and not the interpreter.

Haha okay :ty:
