In my 20s I talked to a girl on a dating site for week or so then decided to meet up. She had kind of a slow slur to her speech that I tried not to let bother me but then she enthusiastically revealed that she got hit by a car and got brain damage, basically permanently mentally locking her at 17 years old.

Nice girl, albeit noticeably immature. We did not go on another date.

Oh ugh. I want to excoriate you for dumping her because of a disability, but … how do you have a relationship with someone who will never grow up?

The poor girl. But … also, you dodged a bullet.

Yeah, it wasn't because of the disability - it was because the disability made us incompatible. I'm not a genius or anything but I'm fairly smart and I crave the same in a partner. Also her only income was disability and selling knit hats on Etsy.

Very nice girl but I honestly felt like a creep afterward. Like I just took a teenager out on a date.
