How to Ask a Deaf Person For a Date
HOW TO 
Tags: Dating the Deaf, Asking Someone Out, Dating
Sometimes you find someone that you are not quite sure how to approach. Here is how you can ask a deaf person for a date.
| | Write your name and your Instant Messenger screen name and give it to them. |
| | Talk to them as they might be able to read lips. |
| | Notice that if they hand you a little pad and pencil it means they want you to write to them as they do not understand what you are saying. It also shows they do not read lips. |
| | Speak to them by writing back and forth, and if you want to ask them out for coffee or coke or to a party, write it down. |
| | Also write that you would like to learn how to sign, and can they suggest a proper place or book to learn it from. There are different types of sign languages, so make sure you learn the one they know or understand. |
| | Treat them as you would any hearing person. If you want to shake hands, then just put your hand out. They are not stupid, they just cannot hear you. |
| | Some people can talk a bit, it is not as clear as your speech because they cannot hear how they sound. If they do talk, then just answer in any manner that they can understand. |
| | Do not act as if they were different or you will make them feel self-conscious. |
| | Many movie theaters have hearing impaired screens, so if you want to go to a movie find out if the theater has one. |
| | Send that person an SMS in his/her mobile phone. |
