LOL, that's great. The reality and the fantasy are two different things. I can wait to be the next guy she's disappointed in. I can wait forever. Don't mean to sound like I'm knocking women, but I'm older and I've come to realize that actually I won't be able to give her the moon. Never even could, although it seemed like I was on my way a couple times.

I would like to, but I guess people aren't interested in me. Not even guys are interested in being my friend, so I guess expecting a woman to be interested in me romantically is not possible. I guess I'm used to it now, so I don't really bother about it too much. I wish I could have pets again but at the moment that's not possible.

But true loneliness, no amount of friends can fix that. That's a between you and yourself thing. Other people may offer a pleasant distraction but, at the end of the day when everyone else has gone home, when your spouse has turned in and the kids have fallen asleep on the couch--you are still left with you. Who are you then? That's the person you should make peace with.

THIS.

It reverses with age, especially if you build your assets and get in decent shape.

I get you, it took me a massive amount of energy/time to adapt myself to society, particularly dating-wise. BTW, I know that masking may not be the best way to interact with people, but after 35 years of life I think I've finally found a somewhat good middle ground.

If you find platonic relationships exhausting, you may discover that non-platonic ones are like titanic quests, you will in fact need a huge HP bar. Even if both parts give their best, which I believe is my case.

Or maybe not lol, perhaps you have a really nice experience, everyone has their own, I don't want to encourage anybody to stop trying (nor start trying)... There's a bit of luck I guess.

That’s how I felt for a long time. I’ve always had trouble keeping friends. How could I expect to keep a date?

Def. No. I have mental health problems as well as asd and have no time or energy to take care of someone else's needs. I also do not want a bleeding heart that wants to "help" me

It will have to be 50/50. I can't be overwhelmed with having to be a woman's 100% source of energy, happiness, desire to take care of needs, etc. I know now that I have been extremely taken advantage of before, and I will not allow it again. Intimacy is also more cerebral and has to be there, first, or else the physical won't be happening. I feel like it should respectfully be this way, too, though.

In theory, I want a relationship. I've had some before, but I have huuuuge issues with physical contact and I hate kissing and everything people usually want, so I kinda stay away from this kind right now. Dating is also exhausting and I usually don't enjoy many people's company and there aren't many people who seem to understand me (no one actually). So by now, I kinda made the decision to not seek a relationship and just adopt or make use of modern day medical procedures at one point when I'm ready to have children because I definitely want children, but as I mentioned, I'm not fit for a relationship. I think if I'd meet someone whith whom I'd feel really safe with I would still consider a relationship, though.
