Hi! I'm new here.. some of this might belong in the introduction thread, but I'm self diagnosed about 6 months ago and have been trying to start dating again.
Mostly, it's been horrible first dates that haven't led to anything, but about 3 weeks ago, I met someone on OKCupid and things have been going really well as far as I can tell.. He's picked up on a lot of my quirks and has been really sensitive to making sure I'm comfortable despite the fact that he's very obviously NT.. he just thinks I'm "cute" at this point. This is the first time I've really met someone since learning about Asperger's and it's pretty evident looking back how much it's affected my past relationships. I'm really worried about screwing this one up, too. At what point do you tell someone new about it? And how do you start that awkward conversation? :/
