Asking out sen adult

[Pindingo]

I really didn’t know where to post this and I hope I won’t be offending anyone with my thread and my stupid questions.

I like a guy (and I think that he likes me too), but he has some learning difficulties and I am really unsure how and if I should approach this. I’ve honestly never thought about this before until now, and I feel like I’m maybe overthinking this entirely. He is honestly a really sweet guy and I am very attracted to him, and normally I’d just ask him if he wants to meet for a coffee or so. I’m just wondering if his family would consider this rude because they seem to be quite involved. I’m probably overthinking this all but I don’t want to offend anyone.

I moved back “home” a few months back, which means that I’m back in a small town setting which makes me a bit anxious because gossip spreads like a wildfire.

It depends how involved they are and what his needs are depending on what the disability is he might have limited capacity to consent to being with you. Maybe you should think about this a lot and just be friends

You need to find out more. Be friends first. Find out his level of capacity Sen could range from being dyslexic and a fairly non issue to global development and emotionally and cognitively much younger than they are in which case his chance to consent may be impacted. No one here can help but finding out more past physical connection is the first step.

As others have said, it's going to depend on his learning disability and his level of independence/ capability. I have experience of working with adults with learning difficulties and I have family members with them too and there is a wide range in peoples' capabilities.

Thank you all, this makes sense. It’s more than “just” dyslexia but it’s difficult to tell. The last thing I want to do is take advantage of someone.

If he has a learning disability and IQ under 79 then you are likely to need to take on some level of care for him which will be completely personal to him. Can you commit to that for a lifetime?
