It means that I can't walk properly and can only walk limited distances until the pain becomes hard to bear.
I worry that this person won't want to meet or talk to me if I tell them. But I have to. I just don't know how. :(
We were thinking of just being friends.
I mean you guys probably don't know how, but I mean it's worth asking?

What Should I Do?
So a few months ago I met this guy as part of an arranged marriage meeting. We had two meetings, one was an introduction over coffee to get to know one another...
I think you just need to do it. Say it plainly, I don't know if there is any other way. Mabey give a little backstory other wise rip it of like a bandage.
ReplyHow's this? "You should know that I have this condition called club foot. It means that I can't walk properly and can only walk limited distances until the pain becomes hard to bear. I was born with this disability."
Reply*And to be clear, we're basically strangers! We don't actually know each other
ReplyWait until you are about to go on a date with someone and just casually say, "By the way I can't walk properly, and can only walk short distances." The someone might say, "Okay." Then don't explain further until you know them better. If they ask, "Why?" Then you explain about your foot.
Replynever be ashamed of who you are and some of the things that are unique to you!!!
ReplyThat's a nice sentiment but isn't grounded in reality :(
ReplyI can only imagine how hard it is for you to open up about it :( I mean, if you two have any sort of connection, and if you feel like they are a good person and won't judge you, then just tell them. Maybe start it with something implying that you want to have a serious conversation, and honestly, there's just two ways it can go :'D either they'll understand or no. Maybe if it doesn't work out then next time say it immediately to see if they'll care. You will find someone who loves you no matter what, don't worry.
ReplyI really don't think I can find someone who loves me no matter what. :(
I think that I'm just not meant to be happy and have friends.
Oh and by the way the conversation with that person died anyway. I don't think it was because I can't hold a conversation... I think that if they wanted to be friends they could've at least tried a bit harder. But I really need to figure out how to hold a conversation. How to be interesting and worth talking to.
Replyoh no, don't think like that :( you don't need to figure out how to be interesting, I'm sure you will find someone who will love you, friend or partner, there must be someone out there for everyone.
