Dating a guy with one leg dating turks caicos men

This is the time when we are on our best behavior – the time when we portray a positive attitude and demonstrate a solid relationship “résumé” (or at least try to).

However, amputees have the added burden of when and how to bring up the subject of a prosthetic limb.

Unfortunately, the thought of disclosing a limb difference to a new admirer can be intimidating, even for the most self-assured amputee.

Stephanie Bastos, 29, has learned all about that since losing her right leg below the knee as the result of a tragic automobile accident when she was 18.“My attitude was like, this is crazy, but life goes on,” remembers Stephanie, a first-generation Brazilian-American and professional dancer who began her training and performance career with the Miami Ballet in Florida.

In August 2005, Stephanie performed at the Amputee Coalition Annual Educational Conference & Exposition in Dallas, Texas.

She danced to the song Ready for Love, by India Arie, and finished to thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

“I was in Tampa, Florida, at a karaoke bar,” Stephanie says, “and this really good-looking guy with long blond hair came up to the table and introduced himself.

Then he asks if I would like to sing a song with him.” He turned out to be a Calvin Klein model, and they became a couple for two years.

“Losing my leg and being able to perform and dance was a physical challenge – and I was up for the challenge.”Indeed.
