My crush has no toes...
19/F
Yeah, it sounds like the plot to a bad sitcom, right? No, it's my reality.
So, I met this guy through a mutual friend and we really hit it off. I mean, I REALLY like him. We get along wonderfully and he's probably the sweetest and most thoughtful guy I've ever met.
Well, last night we were texting and sort of really opening up to each other. And then he tells me he has a secret. He has no toes. I thought he was joking (he jokes quite often, one of the things I love about him), so I laughed it off. But he was serious. He even sent me a picture. I texted our mutual friend about this and she said she had no idea. I texted him back and just pretended like everything's fine.
Now, I still really REALLY like this guy. But the no toes deal freaks me out. I'm not one to judge on appearances and it doesn't really change anything about him... But I'm also an extremely squeamish person and the thought of his feet make me uncomfortable.
I really like him and I feel like I terrible person for being disgusted by his feet. I feel so guilty. How can I get over this?

The fact that he may not have any toes should not freak you out. It is possible that he lost his toes because he was in an accident and he has a prosthetic device in his shoes that allow him to walk.
He is the same person he was a second before he told you he had no toes. Would it freak you out to find out he had only one Kidney or one lung. His toes do not make him what he is. He is still be "the sweetest and most thoughtful guy I've ever met."
I knew a guy who was a volunteer EMT at the fire station I was assigned to. Once you got to know him he was one of the nicest people you would ever want to know. Because of a birth defect he had one arm and hand that was much shorter that the other. It never slowed him down and while it made you stop and look and think how could this guy be an EMT with just on functioning arm? He was and he did and he was a darn good one.
His favorite joke was to come up to any of us while we were doing something, none call related and say. I'd give you a hand but I'm a little short handed myself right now. We all would feed that line right back to him whenever we had the chance. He loved it and so did we. He died a few months ago and his is missed.
So what if your friend has no toes. BFD, he is still a great guy to be with and his deformity is hidden from view as he needs shoes to walk. So what's the big deal.

You left out important detail, Does he walk?
People who don't have any toes can't walk, Toes are what keeps us balanced. If he is walking to the point where nobody had any idea that he had no toes then the guy is pulling your chain. Sure, A picture is believable but make sure it's actually real before you jump to assumptions. It is a proven fact that it is nearly impossible to walk without toes, Yet alone walk to normally where nobody has a clue there is something wrong.
