That's pretty insane to be together with a girl at the age of 13 who can drive, since owning a driving license is possible above the age of 18...

Όταν θα κοιτάς την θάλασσα
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα βλέπεις εμένα
Και τα μάτια σου θα ‘ναι θλιμμένα
Όταν θα ξυπνάς στον ύπνο σου
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα σκέφτεσαι εμένα
Και θα νιώθεις μεγάλο κενό

You might be right, but in that case these are the situations when behavior doesn't really represent someone's age.

Pretty sure in some states in the US you can drive a car at 13.

All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

@85 I think the lowest age is 14, and that's for them real rural places so kids can help their parents out with farming and such.

over and out. I stand with the people of Palestine

I've had relationships with both blind and sighted partners. As people here have said many times already, the most important things are mutual respect, support, and accepting each other's differences. I absolutely agree that a blind person should — is simply obliged to — be as independent as possible. I know plenty of blind people who are educated and know their professional field inside out, but can't find a relationship precisely because of their limitations in everyday life.
When it comes to blind people, I'd hardly want a relationship with someone who can't do anything around the house and has poor orientation skills. I'm not ready to take care of a grown adult. I'm happy to help, to teach, I'll always be supportive and try to make things good for the person beside me — but I definitely won't play daddy to someone who's learned to use a computer but refuses to learn how to cook or clean.
I've also had experience with a long-distance relationship. It's fine to start that way, but if people talk for ages and never move in together, it's doomed to fail. Online or on the phone we see one person, but in real life it may turn out to be someone completely different. You can keep up any act for years when you're not together 24/7, and I actually know of a case where someone did exactly that.
