Dating w/the LVAD
Thu, 09/06/2012 - 10:05AMHi community *waving* This is a rather odd post for me being as though I was married when I first received my HeartWare Vad in 2010. I am 38 and now seperated (not because of the Vad)and have had a few dating invitations. I've pretty much declined most because I really am sceptical of how someone would react. I went on a couple but did not make it known that I had the Vad. With the HeartWare device, it's easy to just pop it in a nice fancy handbag and no one would know. But what would happen if it alarmed- funny how embarrassing that would be *_* Would it scare them away?? Would they ask a million questions?? Would they still be interested?? For these reasons, I've kinda pulled myself away from the dating scene. Has anyone else experienced the same feeling?

If you are ready for dating I would let them know up front, that way they know your story somewhat before they meet you.I was dating Jason a little over a year when he got the LVAD, but we didnt move in together until AFTER he got the Lvad, so I still had time to run...but I didnt and the right one for you, wont either. Everyone that meets Jason thinks its the neatest thing ever! I wish you the best of luck find that special man just for you, but you have to get out there. Best of Luck!!

Thu, 10/04/2012 - 4:07PMYou are not alone. I feel the same way you do. I don't know if it is because this is still new to me, I'm a private person, or trying to find the right words to explain it all. I keep telling myself, no matter what, I should not be afraid. If it is meant for US to have that soulmate then it will be.

Fri, 03/07/2014 - 1:36PMI am a huge advocate for online dating. When I got my vad, I was dating a guy and it turned out to be too much for him so back to he dating websites mainly for fun. I would flirt around mostly and I only shared my situation with 2 guys after plenty of conversation. I was only going to meet with someone that was very genuine and looking to get to know ME better. I made it clear that sex was not something I was comfortable with just yet. Somehow I crossed paths with the guy Im dating now he is amazing and very understanding of my needs and limitations. My advice to you would be to be upfront, when you feel its right go with that. My priorities have changed and I (as well as everyone) deserves to find happiness, it just may take some extra time and searching. Good luck!
