Recently became an amputee. Anything I should know about dating as a newly disabled guy?

I'm Josh, 22 and lost my arms recently. I've been through a lot of rehabilitation and occupational therapy so I hadn't had a chance to meet or chat to any girls to see what the game is like now. Is there anything I should be aware of, any heads up or things that I might not have considered myself. This process of dating makes me really anxious now especially as a guy, I feel like I should be the strong and chivalrous one.

Just got home from hospital after having both of my arms chooped. AMA

Basically, what the title says. I had both of my arms amputated a while ago and this afternoon is the first one I've spent at home as an armless dude. I thought I was doing quite well processing my situation whilst I was in hospital, but now that I'm in my room with my things I've kind of losing it again

Would you date me? A 22 year old dude with no arms

I would say I'm a cool, caring and thoughtful guy. I'm just interested in how big of a role having no arms plays in dating a guy. Be brutally honest. And why would or wouldn't you choose to date me the way I am? I'm genuinely interested. I know reddit isn't the most ideal place to get an idea of that but it's the closet best thing I've got right now

Any parents here? I'm a ilateral above elbow amputee

My sister is soon having a baby and I'm wondering about what I'm going to be like as a father. Maybe it's too early, I'm only 22, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of needing help, when I should be the one helping my own future child. Will I be able to be the strongest version of the farher I want to be? I hope it's not as scary and as embarrassing it feels in my head rn

I need advice

Hi yall I'm a new bilateral above elbow amputee due to sepsis. I'm in pain. I'm 22, kind of losing my mind, kind of having no idea what's going on. I have a supporting family and girlfriend but holy shit I can't process what's going on. I've been crying for the past 5 days (I normally never cry) but without necessarily feeling sad?! That doesn't even make sense. Any advice practical or emotional would be appreciated. I guess I just want to hear from people who've undergone amputation, ideally as unlucky as mine have been
