Handicap and dating

Gabrielle
So not sure if I posted this before but I am 25, I have cerebral palsy and use a cane to walk. So I'm lucky in that it's not nearly as bad as it could be, I function, live independently, drive, live a normal life. So I have to wear leg braces and I stopped when I was like 15 they are ugly and I didn't want to. I'm 25 obviously and I have feeling some of the aches and pains from not having worn them. I got fitted for new ones today and the guy said I should wear them as much as possible to protect my knees or ill be in a wheelchair. My issue is now I have to give up all my boots and skinny jeans and stuff that I like that makes me feel normal and cute. Now I have to be ugly and wear tennis shoes everywhere and no guy is going to want me. I mean as if dating wasn't hard enough (I'm 25 I've been in 2 relationships that lasted 3 months) now I have to look unstylish and bad. Guys aren't going to want me and idk how worth it it is to me to protect my knees or be ugly, single and hating life. I would much rather find someone and then worry about my legs but idk I mean I don't even know what to do.
