Would you date someone who had learning difficulties?

everyone has difficulties..
Don't think I ever dated anyone who didn't have learning difficulties. No matter how often I told them, they just didn't learn.

Sure as long as she could put up with mine.

A close male friend of mine has learning difficulties. He is an extremely slow reader, and can only type with two fingers, can't spell, and can't write without help. But we dated. Reading and writing weren't concerns...at the time.

Yes but it depends on how bad they are. I try to hide my difficulties and that they are not as noticeable as some people's.

Yes I would. Everyone has some type of issue and in my opinion that is what makes one unique.

Probably not. I've had to train people with learning difficulties at the jobs I've had and it's been some of the most hair-pulling levels of frustration I've ever had. I don't think I could live with someone like that. Of course, it all depends on the context and there's different levels of difficulty, but if my experiences so far carry any weight, it can't end well for me

Depends on the nature, if it’s dyslexia etc then yes I would

How would I ever train them to please me?

Oh, were you only joking?! Really?! But your posts sound so business-like and to the point, which can be particularly problematic if your chosen writing style carries no inherent subtlety of intended humor, which of course it does not. That being said, how do you typically convey your truly serious statements in comparison to those statements of benign humor?[/c]

@swirlie You sound incredibly analytical to the point of being boring. No great offense intended. The world still needs people like you for certain occupations- like corpse embalmer.

My responses to your posts have nothing to do with me sounding incredibly analytical, but has everything to do with calling-out someone like yourself who comes across as a bullshit artist who tries to pretend her posts were intended as light-hearted humor, when in fact you don't possess the literary comprehension to convey that difference.

What you need to do is learn how to 'write' more effectively so as to convey your intent the first time around and not continuously find yourself in the awkward position of having to backtrack, make up some story, cover your tracks or make it appear that you are reversing your post's original intent when your intent is taken by others at its face value, which is what I did in my first response to your post. I took your post at face value because you did not write your post in such a way as to convey intent of humor. In fact, you wrote that post with a writing style that conveys the opposite. Learn from your experience and move on, girl! [/c]

When I was in high school, the very first guy I ever dated from my age of 14, had learning difficulties. Although appearing quite normal in any social setting, his academic ability functioned at what I'll call a grade 5 level. He was excellent at sports and phys ed, but he could not construct a sentence nor read a line without assistance, even if he was reading a comic book. He attended special classes within our high school, which were classes aimed specifically at people whom had flunked a year or simply had no desire to learn, but those special ed programs were never intended for someone like my boyfriend. Instead of holding him back and taking the time to teach him something, every teacher would 'pass' him along the way until he ended up at the peak of his own incompetency the day he started his first year of high school .[/c]
