Should You Mention Your Disability Before Your First Date?

Hi,

I recently went on a date with somebody (9 years younger than me). Everything was going well until it was time for me to get up and walk. I have an issue with my hip and a shoe that needs to be modified. 

My hip was out of place when I was born and three surgeries later it was fixed. When i gave birth I was told that vaginal delivery was the best and therefore threw the surgeries out the door. 

He asked me several times why I walked that way but even though he tried to ask politely it didn’t come out that way from him. I honestly just wanted to run away and hide/cry. I thought I was past this and have been comfortable with my issue for years. I’ve met other men and this has not been an issue hence why I didn’t mention it. We didn’t see each other again. 

Was I wrong not to mention this to him before ?

Thank you in advance for your time.
