I went on a lunch date with a guy who has a speech impediment. I do wear hearing aids but I still rely heavily on lip reading. Trying to lip read a person with a lisp or speech impediment is probably more difficult than lip reading a person from the south with the ever so popular southern drawl. He sat across the table from me his tongue stayed at the roof of his mouth after each word or it was pressed to his teeth, making it difficult to see where words began and ended. I hate to nit pick but the ability to understand each other is vital.
After a while it became a little nerve racking so I was happy when our meals arrived at our table then he could stop talking and eat. It would be great if everyone knew sign language. lol
Communication is just too difficult with this guy. I won't even have to worry about his height. Yeah, he is about five inches shorter than me. I like tall men but ones that much shorter than me, that is just weird!
