They seem to run away from me when I tell them I'm deaf but I speak very well, read lips and wear a cochlear implant. I never learned sign language. I have a good job and a future.
Deaf since birth, and I'm 47. Ladies, any suggestion?

Well I am a deaf female and I know the feeling...I guess you just need to realize they aren't the one for you.

Just an idea, but maybe you can try meeting other deaf woman who are oral like you. Hopefully you live nearby to a city where you would have that opportunity. Also too, it is never too late to learn sign language. I don't know if you have the time to do so, but there are a lot of deaf girls who would loooovvveeeee deaf boy friends who can speak and take care of them. You don't have to be fluent in sign language either. Basically all deaf people have had oral training to some degree. You also would have a lot to relate with each other maybe. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

I am not a lady bro, but I can still telll you this. You are older than me, and being so you have a lot of experience. I am only 23, so I am not at your calibur. Age aside however, it is obvious that the person who is good for you will accept all of you , and not just some. I have no idea what you go through in a day being deaf, and I can't imagine. You are lucky though in a way that most of us guys are not. You have a sure fire way to weed through the women that you meet. Don't waste your time with those that run, and wait for the one that stays. you are still young. Good luck bro

Hey, I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but is it possible that the women are not scared that you are deaf and maybe it's something else? You never want to lay all your physical defects and emotional issues out on the table when you are first getting to know someone, you'll scare em away everytime. Let the lady get to know you first then once things are going well, let her know that you don't want to have secrets between the two of you, then tell her.
Hope this helps.

Just be yourself and good luck!! =]
