    Broaching relationship issues with ASD boyfriend

    Okay, so I've been at this for over three years now. You'd think I'd be a pro by now, but alas, not yet! I'm unsure of the best approach for broaching relationship issues with my bf whom we suspect is on the spectrum. For some history, he was married and divorced shortly before we met. I...

    Advice for first date?

    So I have been using a social media/dating app to try and meet new people. I've been lonely, I don't have a lot of dating experience but just want to try putting myself out there.

    Self confidence, what do people mean by that in the context of dating?

    For years, on occasion people have told me that I require more self confidence when dating. I've always thought that this was rather silly as I think I have much more self confidence than most people. I may have figured out what is going on here, so I'd like to share that if it's useful and get...

    Feeling physically safe with a man

    I feel safe with my date of these days. What I mean by “safe” is the physical part of being safe, and I’m not referring to the lack of fear of being abused by him (that’s another horrible fear, but not the subject of this post. To clarify doubts, I feel safe with him in that aspect too). I mean...
