[Blindtlk] Internet dating for the blind

[Josh]

Hi,

I also met my wife when we were kids. We went to camp together but really 
didn't know each other or talk to each other. She never really was very 
popular. Then one year at a different camp that we attended things just sort 
of fell into place. And then for 4 or 5 years afterwords we didn't see or 
talk to each other. Then, after coming back from a study-abroad program, 
thinking I found someone in the other country who I liked or who was 
interested in me, and then finding out that that person was not interested 
in dating me: I emailed my future wife asking her about dating websites. 
She, as it turns out went to Austria, thought she found someone who liked 
her, but that person did not and it didn't work out for her either. So the 
person I knew, very vaguely as a kid off and on during the summers at camps 
for the blind, now we're married. So far it's tough trying to save money to 
move and get our own apartment, but we're working on it.
