    Autism and Dating

    Yeah, I tried dating apps, and I've decided I don't want to do that. I just end up getting depressed because I don't get matches. Yeah, I don't know how it didn't come up! There were definitely times she could've mentioned it, but what are you gonna do? In the end, we enjoy talking with each...

    Autism and Dating

    Yes, I wish she had been a little more open about being married. It would have saved me a lot of time, but i don't believe she was hiding it maliciously. I'll move on, and thankfully she's leaving the country for a month this week, so I can use that time to get over it and we can remain friends...

    Autism and Dating

    Well, it turns out she's married. She doesn't wear a ring, and I've never heard her talk about her husband. The friends I was talking with are all very surprised and are reassuring me that its not so much a rejection as a crazy miscommunication. I understand that, but it's just reinforcing...

    Do you listen to music in a different language?

    Surprised there are other byzantine listeners! One of my all-time favorite genres is bossa nova, so outside of english, portuguese might be my most listened to language. Some other languages i've enjoyed in music include japanese and korean, romanian, ukrainian, african rock (some of which is...

    Autism and Dating

    The dinner Tuesday night went well, there were four of us for food: myself and three women from my church. After dinner, one went home to her husband and the remaining three of us went to a nearby bar to continue the evening for a bit. We had some great conversation, and then ended the night...

    Autism and Dating

    Well, tonight's the night! I was planning to text her today to confirm, but she actually texted me last night, which I hope means she is excited I'll be there. She's Greek, and in her initial invite she sent two kiss emojis. I couldn't figure out if this was her flirting or just the common Greek...

    Autism and Dating

    Ok, I'm really trying not to get my hopes up, but last weekend I happened to run into the first woman again at her work (she bar tends part time) and she seemed genuinely happy to see me and called my name when I walked in, so I went to talk to her. She seemed glad to talk with me, and told me...

    Rejection, Depression and Coping

    Until recently i didn't. I didn't go on any dates until i was 29, and still haven't been on a second date with anyone (I've only been on three dates total). First dates aren't all they're cracked up to be; lots of wondering "what's wrong with me, i thought that went well!"

    Rejection, Depression and Coping

    Thanks everyone! I did a little reading while I smoked my pipe (I know it's unhealthy, but it's a simple pleasure) and spent some time just sitting watching the wind in the trees. Then I got a message that some friends of mine who I don't get to spend much time with were getting lunch at a...

    an annoying acquaintance

    I'm sorry about the person ignoring you, it's frustrating to get bait and switched like that. Hopefully you're able to make some quality friendships there, and if not, then it sounds like it will be healthy to spend your energy elsewhere! Good luck! :)

    Rejection, Depression and Coping

    I've had a series of rejections recently, or things like rejection. Two women I was interested in both rejected me after a first date, I was recently turned down for a job for which I have relevant experience, and I love my friends, but fairly often I will try to plan to do something with them...

    an annoying acquaintance

    I agree, it sounds like this is an in person conversation. Do you have other friends in this review community? Do you do it because you enjoy the activities? Or do you like that you're providing insight for other people who are interested in the experience? Try to remind yourself what got you...

    Autism and Dating

    Whirlwind weekend, another update: Found another woman from my church on Hinge, sent her a message and we went out on Thursday, had a nice 3 hour dinner, and she said she was interested in getting together again, and then messaged me tonight and told me she just wants to be friends. I'm...

    Autism and Dating

    I haven't heard from her all weekened, even just to say that she couldn't make it. I think its safe to say she isn't interested. It's a bummer, and I'm annoyed that I misunderstood again. Additionally, at dinner one of my friends was talking about dates she's been going on, and the other girls...

    Autism and Dating

    She said she had a good time, and that she would like to do dinner next week, and when I asked her what days would work, she said "It was so nice yesterday! Yes, let's do it! I will let you know" I was still waiting on her to send me nights she would be available when my friends decided on...
