I am a woman aged 24 and always have a struggle with finding people with common interest in real life and with my experience with dating and previous relationship in real. Some were decent, but some were more on bad experience with some relationship. They all now are ex boyfriends now. I also have tried some dating sites and apps. They displayed some dating sites dating sites. That I didn't attract many of my age group but saw some guys that were outside of my age range, and I wasn't interested in any guys that did message me that were above my age. I also have tried Facebook dating. that also has to be hit and miss too.

    Hi there 

    I'm afraid you are not likely to get anymore advice than what you have had already with your previous posts on the same topic 

    Online dating can be a risk especially if you are vulnerable much better to socialise join groups etc 

    You don't just have to limit yourself to those with learning disabilities 

    Also you might find someone who is slightly outside your age group as they have matured and more open to serious relationship

    @janer1967. I already have tried social group and social events and not there what I have found no one that I like or be attracted. I am have to stick to dating people with learning disability. That is my only option. Even when to some learning disability groups and still nothing but guys that already have girlfriends. My mum will not allow to let me date guys outside of having learning disability. Or I can't date at all that what my mum always says to me.  I thought I said another question that wasn't the same things as this question

    @iza thanks you. my mum sometimes doesn't allow me on some mainstream dating sites. other sites that my mum allowed to try were disabled dating that were not good.  My mum is very strict with dating and relationship with only me .
