Still waiting for a first date..

[Tired]

didn't work out for me

I mean sure, if we all could just wish things which church would grunt, there would be no atheists, right?

I still encounter people who treat prayer like demanding a genie to grant their wishes and they tend to be very unhappy people.

That sucks to be honest, we all deserve at least the opportunity, you and other people on this thread seem to be coping well with it though which is the most important thing, when you say you have made the first move does that mean you've verbally asked for dates? I'm only just turned 20 so I'm still really young, I have had the odd dates but they rarely amount to much, I rarely find people interesting enough which is a shame,and the only time I was legitimatly interested in someone they mistreated me. I guess I should be glad for the opportunities I have had up to this point. Advice would be to constantly try and meet new people (I know this is difficult but it increases the chance of finding someone special) and try and be clear with people that you are single and looking for relationships otherwise they may assume disinterest. I used to think no one was interested in me but now I realise that I just wasn't picking up on it due to not knowing what to look for because of aspergers and this is probably the case with a lot of aspies,this can lead to a lack of confidence and missing opportunities that defiantly existed but are missed.

I Fell into this camp, when younger did not know I was on spectrum, see all the missed opportunities now looking back. Married now 45 years two kids self diagnosed. Graduated college before I even started taking looking for a mate seriously. My back story is documented on this forum.

My Nephew, a fellow Aspie I found out recently just got a girlfriend via a dating site His edge was my sister put him in french immersion when is school. she a citizen of french Guyana noticed his profile, got her attention. She even after finding out his mother had an upcoming birthday, planned a birthday party for her just so she could meet the rest of the family. I asked her did she know he was on the spectrum She said yes clue was saw him reading wondered, what it was about looked over his shoulder say a number of complex mathematical equations. So you never know. Looking forward to meeting her again, at family get together for Christmas at one of my brothers place. Should be fun like my sons says like attending Mensa meeting, always interesting. Starting to feel like united Nations.
