My best friend is mentally retarded. It is sad because nobody will go out with him .?

Question:

how can i get somebody to date him

Answers:
I have a son with mental retardation. (this is a more correct way of describing him rather than "he is mentally retarded").

Through his school years, he had a few classes with "normal" school kids involved. These became good friends over the years. Our school system had special activities which included both "normal" and "disabled" kids in the same activity. These included a Circle of Friends program (movies, bowling, parties, etc.), Unified Sports (part of special olympics where teams are mixed), etc.

Why don't you check with your school or community and see what's around? Check with Special Olympics in your community and see if you and he/her can get involved together.

Set an example for others by being first to spend time with him/her.

well im no good at advice as im only 14 but we all no its not his fault.people will go out with him but i think ull have to let girls to get to no him better im sure his personality is good i am a girl mi self so i should no girls dont just go 4 looks and mental problems dont really bother us if they dont cause pain towards us like mentally or phissicly and im just blabbering now i no im no help but at least i tried
good luck with ur m8 hope all ends well I have a "special" friend as well and I dont think he has the burden of scocietys judgments. He loves fat girls and has been in more relationships than I have. Not sure what your friends situation is but if he is not judgmental, you might try that. I dont mean to say that fat girls can only date retarded people, I just think that some girls and guys are less judgmental of others no matter how big or retarded they are. There is a special people conference that meets in my town once a year that he usually gets hooked up at. Look into them in your area.

Everyone deserves to be loved. Im gay and make an effort not to pass judgment on others as I dont like to be judged myself. Best wishes.
