Wow, quiet group!

She has type III, uses a w/c, and is very short statured. Wondering if you have any tricks, tips, advice for dating, in the ways that dating is different.

Thanks bigpuppy, We've been together for 2 months now, and things are going well... We've got routines down, and i've already learned for the most part what she will need assistance with, what she likes to do independantly.
Things are good, and i'm quite happy, thanks for the tips.
