Dating Corner

I look as I do in my avatar :)

Username: Amanda241
Gender: female
Age: 47
Sexuality: Pan sexual = Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is the sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are not determining factors in their romantic or sexual attraction to others. Source: Wikipedia
Location: Manchester, UK
Religion: C of E christened, Jewish descent (I do practise the good bits and ignore the bad bits!)
Politics: Remainer in the Referendum and used to vote Labour until Corbyn came along...
Philosophy: Each to their own.
Obsessions/Interests: Law, specifically employment. Love sci fi and GoT, Star Trek/Wars; not a fan of comic cons... Love to read and love archaeology and architecture; dogs and cooking...like motorbikes and lots of different types of music, but mostly classical, if I was on a desert island. Love prog rock too. Rollercoasters and waterparks are also big hits with me!
Desired Partner Characteristics: Gender and age don't matter to me or your sexual identity - if you are loyal, honest , sincere and loving then I'm happy with that. I'd prefer you are largely self sufficient - own place and job - as I don't wish to financially support anyone. I'm a supportive person and hope for the same. I do get needy at times and like hugs/kisses/reassurance. My ideal partner would be my best friend and partner in one.
Self-Description: Bit OCD; there's a reason for things being in a place! I'm not great at timekeeping...generally easy going, but if you F-up good style, I'm not known for having a forgiving nature...I'm faithful and loyal; sarcastic wit...generally try to be kind and understanding, though I am very direct and don't always understand the impact of what I'm saying. I'm a very loving person and I can go out and do things, but will happily burrow in my home if I can. The first signs of my being stressed is I'm snappy but will deny that there's anything wrong with me until I have a full meltdown.
 
Username: Isadoorian, Isa for short
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Sexuality: Straight/Heterosexual
Location: British Columbia, Canada
Religion: Apatheist
Politics: No Affiliation
Philosophy: Wheaton's Law and Bill & Teds Excellent Advice
Hobbies/interests: Video Games, Reading, Cooking, Baking, Listening to Music, PC related stuff
What do you want in your Partner: Just someone whose into the same things as myself; doesn't need to be exact, of course. Not much for judging though I personally find large gaps between front teeth to be unattractive, and same with being morbidly obese, it's just not healthy whatsoever. I'd also like my partner to be Childfree, meaning not having kids in their life whatsoever
Describe yourself: Humorous, self reserved, can be fairly serious when needed to be and can be quite the chatter box but generally I keep to myself
 
Username: TheSocialNerd
Gender: Male
Age: 20 (I'm fine with as young as 19, as old as 24-25 for a partner)
Sexuality: Straight
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Religion: Not entirely sure - I believe in God, but I don't subscribe to any particular relgion. So I guess Agnostic, at this point?
Politics: Undecided, hodgepodge of socialist and liberal, I think.
Philosophy: I live life on my own terms. But I try and do good and bring good into the world through helping others and just generally being kind.
Obsessions/Interests: I love music, film/TV, reading and writing. I want to make a living as a writer eventually.
Desired Partner Characteristics: Someone that gets me and is willing to accept my flaws. Someone that is more relaxed than I am (I'm a worrier). Someone with a great sense of humour, willing to try new things (maybe a tough ask - I'm mild high functioning though, and I like to push myself), creative, loving.
Self-Description: A man with an intellectual spirit. I like to think deeply about things, sometimes to my detriment. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Arts at university, Majoring in Creative Writing with a minor in Literature. I plan to do a Masters once I've finished. I am also doing a Diploma in Music alongside this.

I love animals and being out in nature, when I'm not in my own head. My favourite animal is a dolphin because they're incredibly intelligent and very playful. I play the guitar, sing and write my own songs. I also write poetry, short fiction and screenplays. I have written a novel, but it's not very good!

I love philosophy, history (particularly the French Revolution - I just find it fascinating), and a good book. The last book I read was If On A Winter's Night A Traveler, by Italo Calvino.

More than almost anything, I love to laugh. I think humour is one of the greatest antidotes to loneliness, depression and anxiety. I watch a lot of sitcoms because of this - some of my favourites are Scrubs, Community, Arrested Development and Bojack Horseman.

So yeah, that's me. Feel free to message me if you're interested in chatting further or knowing anything else! Hope to hear from some of you :)

Self-Description: I see myself as nice, funny and interesting behind closed doors. I’ve worked for the last three years but currently spend a lot of time alone. I’ve always wanted to have some form of close relationship but have been too shy and avoidant in the past. This means I can take a while to open up to people and have very little experience when it comes to dating and relationships so would want to take things slowly. Finally, I’m also nearly always told that I don’t look old enough to be 22 :rolleyes:

Anyway, feel free to message me if you’d like to know more...

Sexuality:Straight (also a chubby chaser,i like big women,sorry if this offended anyone or freaked anyone out)
Interests:Anime (Boruto,Beyblade),Video Games,Martial Arts/Mixed Martial Arts,WWE
Desired Partner Characteristics:someone who is also a female aspie,someone who is also a gamer herself,someone who is also a passionate cuddler.
Philosophy:i firmly bellieve if you want something done right,you just gotta simply do it yourself & every aspie in the world should be free to do what they choose to do that makes them happy that people amongst your friends or family may not like,look how they choose to look (stand up straight,it cures lower backaches) !
 
I am married, but I wanted to post and say that I think this is a good idea. If you are single, and if you have trouble finding an NT who is willing to understand and accept you, then maybe someone else on this site will be more understanding/accepting. Best of luck.

that's why i prefer female aspies,even if they're chubby !
 
Username: Baeraad
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Location: Västerås, Sweden
Religion: Atheist
Politics: It's complicated, but liberal for most intents and purposes.
Philosophy: I'm with Kurt Vonnegut - we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is.
Obsessions/Interests: Fiction, primarily sf/fantasy but any sort as long as it's well-written. That includes books, TV shows, musical theater, story-heavy video games, you name it. Roleplaying games. People.
Desired Partner Characteristics: I would like someone who is kind and compassionate.
Self-Description: I'm mild-mannered and caring. I want to give you whatever it is you need, though sometimes I might need to be told what that is (whether you want support or you want to be given your space, for instance). People fascinate me, so I want to hear your story. I can be a bit sensitive, so sometimes you might need to listen to me rant about some injustice or another, but I try to keep things in perspective. I pride myself on being reliable and dependable.
 
Sorry, no photo of me yet as I'm terrified of having my picture taken.

Username:
SamD McTeer (the initials for my actual name are in there)
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Sexuality: Straight
Location: South East Northumberland, England
Religion: None
Politics: Right wing politics worries me greatly.
Philosophy: Don't be the person you don't want the world to be full of. Which is my way of reminding myself not to get involved in talking badly about others because I know how much it hurts when others talk badly about me. And it's okay to be wrong and change your view on something when new information comes to light. It's not a battle where you have to stand your ground and refuse to budge. Being wrong doesn't make you a bad person.
Obsessions/Interests: Football (playing and watching), weightlifting, quizzes, horrors.
Desired Partner Characteristics: Be female.
Self-Description: I'm quite small, 5'4 ft, slim build. I exercise a fair bit (weightlifting, running, football).

I like horrors, Bob's Burgers (it has some brilliant quotes I can always think of to amuse myself), taking quizzes and various music (specifically The Birthday Massacre to name one band off the top of my head). And I've been attempting to learn Spanish for the past year and have made some progress.

I'm quite quiet and I'm convinced I don't belong in this world and might actually be a figment of other people's imagination.

I don't drink alcohol and don't like pubs, I do like coffee and quiet cafes.

Oh and I have a dog.

Religion:agnostic
Politics:unaffiliated
Philosophy:Low complexity, high fidelity.
Obsessions/Interests:Music (from Keaton Henson to Depeche Mode to Slipknot, classical, very much 80s pop, some K-Pop, ESC,...); films (especially horror); reading (mostly non-fiction on Japan and / or Religion or Japanese novels); going for walks; polaroid photography; singing; eating; minimalism (I'm very moderate at it though); watching let's plays on YouTube and soccer; I like animals a lot
Desired Partner Characteristics: somewhat similar interests; however I am willing to listen and interested in learning about new topics you care about if you are willing to explain them to me. I am very introverted and I don't like going out / to parties - it would be amazing if you felt the same. I do not mind going to concerts at all though. Other than that I appreciate loyalty, honesty and reliability. Non-smoker would be cool.
Self-Description:I am a university student in the humanities and very passionate about my education. I spend a lot of time studying and I don't want to neglect that aspect of my life but I can surely make time for someone who is important to me. I take relationships seriously and don't like playing around, but some alone time is also required. I cannot cook for the life of me, but I think cleaning windows is fun. I work out every Sunday but I don't care much what you do in that department - I don't like having a lifestyle forced onto me so I won't do it either.
