Dating a blind girl

All of her friends are blind

Love that she holds my arm when we're out

Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself

Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.

Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn't bother me

Love that she doesn't use the internet because it's too much hassle

Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.

Washington State has a digital braille library if anyone out there knows someone like Anon's GF.

It's available to anyone

Washington State has a digital braille library

And since it’s a blue state, this library is unlikely to be viciously defunded or be legally/legislatively attacked by regressives.

"doesn't use the internet" - thats a lie, blind people can use the internet with all these tts programs, a lot of which are simple to configure and use

It says "doesn't use the internet", not "can't use the internet". Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It's trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It's not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.
