Are the Stars Out Tonight?

[Bewleybrother]

If you were blind how would it affect your attitude to romantic gestures.What would change about how you communicated with the opposite sex?

Would you ask to touch the persons face or hands?.
Would you ask a trusted friend what the person looked like,as if it mattered once you were blind.
Would you believe everything the person you were courting told you,or would you find surreptitious ways to confirm it?.

This star is feeling you out

What a great question! I love thinking about this kind of scenario. I would pay attention to the manner in which He is communicating. I would hear the lilt, passion, need in his voice. I would ask to touch his face, his lips, his hands. I would explore his lips with my tongue. Feeling, tasting. I would enjoy this exploration that might be allowed due to the deficit of not having my eyes and I would be able to experience the nuances of him in perhaps more fulfilling ways than drinking him in with my eyes.

Probably best to try and meet another blind person then youll know they were sincere.
sic transit gloria mundi.

Those are wonderful questions. Though I'm not blind myself, I understand that blind people use their other senses to ascertain the qualities of a person. I wouldn't necessarily ask a friend to describe what that person looked like. Rather, I would trust my other senses to determine that for me.

And to your last question, I would only use other means to determine the veracity of what someone told me if what he told me sounded too good to be true. You have to use your own personal judgement and life experiences in cases like that to make those determinations.
