So he didn't expect her to react to his surprise the way she did? Or he didn't recognize her because of her appearance? | ||

Is the place where he surprised her relevant? He didn't recognize her because of something she said? The way she looked to him? Had they been separated for a long time? | ||

So are we to determine how he could surprise his girlfriend in particular, given that he couldn't see which person in, say, a group was her? Was he proposing? Or giving a birthday surprise? | ||

did her appearance alter in any way due to the surprise? by 'recognize,' do you mean by sight, or another sense? touch? smell? hearing? er, taste? long shot: as a gift he got her some sort of plastic surgery that rendered his ability to recognize her by touching her face ineffective. or perhaps he bought her perfume that masked her scent, which he was accustommed to? | ||

Did he get surgery to restore his vision, then went out to find her and suprise her that he was no onger blind, but then found that he could not retcognise her because he had never seen her before? | ||

So, is this the answer? The guy wanted to surprise her by showing her he was no longer blind, but then he couldn't recognize her voice because something made him deaf right after/during the surgery. Consequently, he couldn't determine if she was indeed his girlfriend since he had never seen her before. Do we have to find out what made him deaf? | ||

Is his deafness related to the surgery? Acquired deafness (due to, eg, sudden loud noise)? | ||

Is his deafness related to the surgery? Yes Acquired deafness (due to, eg, sudden loud noise)? Yes **** SPOILER **** Terry, a blind man, had been meeting his girlfriend for the past few months, always recognizing her by her voice. He eventually decided to surprise her. He got a huge loan and paid for a surgery which would restore his eyesight. But, alas, the surgery had accidentally damaged his nervous system and he became permanently deaf. He then couldn't recognize his giflriend, neither by her voice nor by her looks. | ||

yes, but I imagine the story has a happy ending, as she'd recognise him |
