How do girls feel about a paralyzed guy asking you out?

I honestly wouldn't mind him asking me out.

Whether or not I accepted his offer would depend on several things.

Firstly, it would depend on how paralyzed he was. If he was paralysed from the neck down, then I doubt I'd go.
If he was paralysed from the waist down, then I might go.

The main reason I wouldn't want to go is because I'd be worried I'd have to help him out, say if he needed the bathroom, or if he needed help eating etc. Maybe that seems like a really awful thing to say, but I'm being honest.

I'd also be worried about falling for him, because I'd be concerned that I'd end up having to care for him if we entered a long term relationship.
Even though you can employ carers to help out, I wouldn't want a carer around 24/7, but I wouldn't want to have to look after him either. I'm quite career focused, and I don't see how caring would fit in with the way I'd like my future to be.

I would eventually like children. If I wanted children of my own, then I'm not sure how sex would work. It might be a bit mechanical, as opposed to romantic.
Then once we had the kids, how would he look after them? I couldn't leave him on his own with them and know that he could cope. The kids might fall over, burn themselves etc.

I'd just be worried about what would happen if I went on the date. I'd be scared I'd fall for the guy and end up in a situation I didn't want to be in.

I dated a girl who was paralyzed from the neck down. She was beautiful, and had a great personality. I did notice that most so called normal people stared at us alot. It made me realize that they were more disabled than she was. We dated on and off for a year, I keep in touch with her, she graduated college and has a new boyfriend. There are people out there that can see beyond the physical, though they are rare, appreciate them while you have them. A girl who won't date you because your in a wheelchair is not the kind of girl you want to have a relationship with anyway... don't bother sending her my way either.

I'd feel the same as if any other guy asked me out. If I liked him, I'd say yes. If I didn't, I'd say no.

In college, I actually had a crush on a guy named Allen whose legs were paralyzed. I never told him, though. I was too shy.
