Would you date someone with learning difficulties.

I have a friend who I have known for many years, he has learning difficulties, slow leaner, dimwitted, some say retarded, but he is indeed a very good, genuine, honest kind sincere soul, meek, gentle and mild mannered. He has his own place so he has some independence but has to have some support from local authorities and his mother who only lives just five minutes away from him handles his money and 'DLA'. He's 52 and has had at least three relationships with women but it's been years now since he's had a girlfriend and he can get lonely sometimes but he does have a voluntary job. He goes on dating sites but they only end up unsuccessful which is sometimes frustrating for him. I wonders if he will be on his own for the rest of his life. I think he needs someone who has the same learning difficulties has he does, he also knows his limitations. Anyone out there for him ?
