I have done some research concerning ADHD because I know someone that I like that has it.What I find attractive about them is they have a lot of energy which encourages me to be energetic and to get more things done.He does interrupt others in midway conversation to talk about random items which is annoying to the people around them and causes issues with forming any type of relationship.It is about if the person who you are dating has researched ADHD and understands the complications.It takes a special person that has a lot of patience and tolerance that will make the relationship work.
Some issues that girls might have with guys that have ADHD is their forgetfulness on important dates and occasions. At first this is not noticeable to the non-ADHD partner because the ADHD partner is hiding their flaws by expending so much energy on them that it distracts with work and other important daily activities but after a while it does become noticeable and it takes a toll on relationships.
Some problems that ADHD cause in relationships is being able to do the important tasks (such as having a conversation, doing chores) that your partner asks you to do and not necessary forgetting but the mind drifts off that it seems like to your partner that you do not care but cannot help it.The non-ADHD partner has to learn to use techniques that will help them to focus on important tasks without nagging the ADHD person or complaining to them or telling them how much of a failure they are.The other problem is risk-taking.At first it might seem attractive but not for certain issues or problems that have to be handled a certain way.This risk-taking behavior can cause great concern to girls up to the point where they do not want to be associated with being responsible for the ADHD person.ADHD makes a person constantly seek simulation and if associated with sex they can take advantage of the partner to seek it.
It takes work and dedication of both partners to make it work out.
Depends on how it affects him. I don't think I've ever dated anyone with ADHD I have ADHD myself so it certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker right off the bat. If they're just inattentive like me then it wouldn't be a problem at all, we'd probably have a few laughs over our mutual distractability. However, I'm a quiet person who just likes to kick back so I probably wouldn't wanna be with somebody if they were super hyper and couldn't sit still. But I'm sure there are girls out there with ants in their pants too and then it would be a match made in heaven for you :)

Really the only thing I would find annoying (and probably intolerable) is if the guy was so hyperactive that he didn't really listen to me. Otherwise I don't think that people with ADHD are any different from any other person. I have a cousin with ADHD and know quite a few people with it. It can interfere with certain aspects of your life but social/romantic relationships shouldn't be one of them.
One of my classmates got it, and when everyone is tired, he still jumps around, full of energy. At some times, I'm like, how come you're not even tired at all? I don't think guys with ADHD are annoying :)
I've never dated someone with it but I imagine in the long run it would be a problem if he wasn't getting help for it
I don`t think that they are annoying. I usually do not even know if someone is until they tell me.
