It bothers me when a deaf person ask me

[GammaRae]

If you are deaf you would know, that deaf get into personal talk far quicker than hearing people. I had one woman ask me on our first date if I wanted to have children. While I'm not against having children, it really irked me that things were moving that fast.

So, when someone ask what I do for work it doesn't even phase me. In fact, that is really low on the scale. And, I fully expect a woman to ask that question.

In the hearing world, you don't talk about class or income even though what you do can signal that information.

I like this about ASL communication. As I've said in another post somewhere, deaf people who use ASL are more upfront, direct, honest when getting to know them. More of my friends are deaf or HOH than hearing these days, I'm getting my associates in ASL interpretation this term in college and continue to get my bachelors and so on.
HAHA kids on a first date may still be a little too much though!
