I don't think Bolin is dumb per se but rather he's naive and lacks common sense. Like when foolishly got into a car with a gang member when the better judgment would've been to just stay away. Or when he unwittingly thought Korra reciprocated his romantic feelings when she'd been rather dismissive of him. Simply put, Bolin just has child like naviety and that makes perfect sense considering his parents died when he was six, leaving the eight year old Mako as his only form of parental guidance.
