| ^ I'll also add as someone who was treated like an accessory, the honeymoon phase of a relationship doesn't last long. I grew to resent the person who treated me like this. I would also argue that this: I see things like ambition, hobbies, and goals as negatives. I get that I am in the minority on t... |

| There is a difference between "I know the right person is out there for me" and "this person is the right person for me." Your method of searching for the right one at the moment is going to do nothing but make you unhappy. |

| The "way you are" has to be compatible with forming relationships with others, if forming relationships with others is the goal. If being aloof, inflexible and unwilling to consider the perspectives of others who are genuinely seeking to help you is the way you are , being alone will also... |

| I do not know of anyone in my family meeting their long-term relationship partners at bars or clubs. A lot of them met their partners by random chance while doing various things. Going to school together, sitting next to each other on a plane while traveling for buisness trips, shopping at the same... |

| No, you've made that loud and clear. What you're being told is that you're going to continue to lack success if you decide to allow the famous autistic rigidity to win here. |

And I am 30, and in a successful relationship, trying to tell you what does work and what will get you what you want. You just don't want to hear it.  |

| Being a good boyfriend included being able to acknowledge when something isn't working, and when it's brought up, the topic being handled in a mature way. IE: My boyfriend likes to gamble. I've had to have a talk with him about my concerns with him gambling, since he is prone to addictive behavior. ... |

Brian, this is going to sound mean, but you need to hear it.
Anyone who accepts just solely wanting to be romantic and nothing else isn't into the idea, they're desperate for companionship. This is bad. You deserve better than someone just looking to settle. |

| I think it is very judgmental and rude of you to suggest another person struggling with disabilities has red flags. I think it is unkind and most of all unhelpful. I think you should keep unkind things to yourself. Brian, you're (very kindly) being given feedback on an aspect of something you're st... |

| I mean my goal in life is to get into a romantic relationship. The same way another person's goal in life might be to be a fire fighter, or a surgeon. Once I get into a relationship then I can start living the life I want to live- which is a life shared with someone :) Okay, but women also want a p... |

| Thanks, but a romantic relationship is my special interest and is really the only interest I enjoy talking about. I don't have hobbies or other interests. I get that I am different. That is why I spend so much time online looking for the right person. I know I am a bit unique. But I am certainly ha... |

| I would love to date. Women don't seem to have much interest in dating me :( My last date was in 2017. But my main, and really only, goal in life, is to get into a romantic relationship. So, I am still very much interested in dating. I use websites like this one to try and find potential dates :) B... |

| We as autistics tend to be quiet for a multitude of reasons. You could be more socially reserved, you could be experiencing a bit of a shutdown or temporary muteness for a bit. The reasons vary from individual to individual. |
