I was curious about something, and I hope you guys out there can help me with this. I am 28 yrs old, I'm intelligent, I like animals, I have lots of friends, but there is a drawback. I can't drive. I have had Epilepsy since I was 3 and have had seizures all my life which prevents me from driving. I am so afraid to tell guys the truth because they may judge me or think I'm dumb. Any advice?

Well, tell the guy about this early on and educate him a little about Epilepsy. Some guys will bail because of this but the more the guy knows what to expect the better he can handle it. They might think it's a lot worse than it is. It may take a while to find a guy who is willing to date a girl with Epilepsy but when you find one he'll probably be more likely stick around.

Sounds like you have a pretty solid excuse for not driving. What's there to judge? I'd go with explaining the truth. That actually works once in a while.

NO guy is worth your time if he thinks your dumb or judges you just because you have epilepsy. You got to remember that and eventually you will find a guy that will love you for who you are.

Hey if some jerk can't handle that, you are better off without him and he is the one loosing out.
I am a dry drunk. I don't wear a tee shirt with something to that effect written on it. But I don't make it a secret either. Maybe you should treat your condition the same way. Don't make a big issue out of it, but if it comes up in conversation just be honest.

You need to tell them the truth. It is not like you can help that you have epilepsy. If they can't accept it, they aren't worthy of your time.

who ever don't go out with you or dump you because of your childhood problems are not worth your time, move on to the person who understands, and don't tell them right away about your problem you start by telling them that you don't drive, that is it, have them drive you around, good luck

You will be judged if you lie to them - not for telling the truth. If they can not handle the situation then they split.

Tell the truth. There is an old chinese saying, "Paper can never cover Fire." If he judge you because of who you are, bi*ch slap him and he did not deserve to be your friend.

That's who you are and if they can't accept it then screw them. Some guys might be run off by it though because they feel they have to chauffeur you around everywhere, but whatever.
