I'm very new to online dating and arranged to meet with a guy who I'd hit it off with.
I feel really shitty for the reasons I didn't take it forward, but also feel he wasn't honest at all.
I arrived for coffee at the cafe we'd arranged to meet at, and couldn't see him. Then, a man arrived in a wheelchair being pushed by a carer. Didn't for a minute imagine this was my date, as no mention of any disability prior to this. However, he was my date, and it turns out he has fairly advanced Parkinson's disease.
I have every sympathy with him, but felt deceived by the fact he hadn't mentioned it at all. I have to say that it would have ruled him out. I'm not heartless, and I do have some understanding of disability - my late husband had MS, and I nursed him through terminal cancer. (I'm in my late 50s). But I really don't want to go into a relationship where I'd be a nurse.
I've had to block the guy as he turned really nasty when I told him that there was no future in this. I feel really bad, but also feel I'm protecting me, if that makes sense. Was I being unreasonable?
