In her eHarmony and OkCupid profiles, Tiffany Jolliff notes that she obsessively listens to the Hamilton soundtrack, loves karaoke and can make almost anyone laugh. But Jolliff leaves out one detail that is part of her daily life: She’s blind.

“It’s usually in between our initial contact and our first date that I tell them,” Jolliff says. “I will not ever be the person that surprises them. But, at the same time, I get a little bit of conversation in to see if we are hitting it off.”

Jolliff, 29, has been blind since birth due to what’s known as Leber Congenital Amaurosis, a hereditary disorder in which most of the rods and cone cells in Jolliff’s retinas never developed. Her world isn’t pitch-black, but weak muscles keep Jolliff’s eyes mostly shut. She can distinguish lights from darks, and her seeing-eye dog helps her navigate the world. Yet her dog can’t help her swipe right or left on Tinder.

What’s it like to date while blind? Forget photo-driven apps like Tinder or Bumble. For Jolliff, such dating platforms are largely incompatible with Voiceover, a screen reading software she uses on her iPhone. They’re also completely image-based, she says, meaning they don’t reflect how she experiences life. Taking pictures “isn’t even something that crosses my mind,” she says.
