Myles Pearson, a former Paralympic wheelchair rugby player, shares a humorous and poignant account of his first date with Anna*, arranged through Tinder. Despite his confidence and openness about his disability, a series of unexpected events turn the evening into a comical disaster.
I went from being a guy on a date to a disabled boy out for dinner Sat at the end of my bed, I carefully buttoned up my blue striped shirt, pulled on my ‘nice jeans’ and applied some aftershave. First-date nerves were kicking in but I was positive, and ready to rock and roll. Anna* and I matched on Tinder and spoke for a week before deciding to meet. It’d gone well thus far – our conversation bounced from family to food with ease and conviction.
SHE PATTED ME ON THE HEAD! I liked how she wanted to know about me and we spoke about wheelchair rugby Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. I struggled to stop my jaw from hitting the ground and, as I looked past her, I clocked the waitress recoil with second-hand embarrassment. I didn’t know what to do, so I completely ignored it.
