A WOMAN stuck in an 8-year-old’s body due to a rare form of brain cancer has potentially found love.

Shauna Rae, 22, has faced difficulty in almost every aspect of her life since she was six months old after she underwent chemotherapy that stunted her growth.

In the most recent episode of her TLC’s I Am Shauna Rae, she admitted how nervous she’d been to meet her blind date.

Shauna said: “The only thing I know about this guy is his name. I have no other information.”

However, the reality TV star did confess how she preferred blind dates because it “makes it a little more real” when they don’t know what she looks like ahead of time.

Once Shauna met her date, Abraham, she was instantly taken back at how tall he was.

Meanwhile, he had his own first impression.

He said: “I was a little surprised. I thought I was being punked at first.”

Although he had received some background information about Shauna before their date, he wanted to go into it without any expectations.

As the date progressed, they both naturally seemed to try to phase out of the awkward first few minutes and moved on to the eating portion of the evening.

Shauna couldn’t help but notice the seven boxes of mini pizzas that sat in front of them.

She said: “I thought it was very considerate of Abraham to bring a variety of pizza because he didn’t know what I liked.

“But I think he should have known my eating habits before that because they were all covered in stuff I couldn’t eat.”

With the food choices being limited, the couple carried on with the rest of their ax-throwing date.

Throughout the evening, they seemed to have enjoyed each other’s company as they were playing, and sharing common interests about one another.

Shauna even admitted that teasing him throughout the ax game made her “open up a little bit more.”

Overall, they both appeared to have had a great time on their date.

And while her blind date had left her feeling optimistic, she remains to stay aloof because of her past experiences attracting “creeps & a**holes.’”

During a teaser for the show, Shauna said: “My relationship status is single. I’m short, leave me alone. I attract creeps, a**holes, and idiots.”

She confessed: “It is scary to put myself out there, but you have to put some risk in to get happiness.”
