I would say it starts to sound like they were more concerned that your aspie cousin or brother who is uninterested dating and they feel more confident that you will be fine. But then why did you say your mom possibly thinks you are a whimp? The truth is, I don't know why anyone does anything. I can only guess but you're closer to you family than anyone on a blog. Maybe you just have to ask.

Today I ask my mom, why she never talks about marriage with me, and she told me, that because of my autism, I would never get married.
she doesn't think I would ever date again ( I have before) So you are right about her thinking because I have a disabiltiy, that I would never date.

I don't know about my dad or siblings. or other family members, or friends on what they think.

But it's kinda of sad, when your own mother, doesn't even think you have a chance in romance.

I have never seen a picture of you and barely paid attention to your posts, but I think the reason why they never ask you such questions is because they think no one would be wanting to be your partner because you maybe look too ugly and/or behave too weird for example, not saying that you are, but that's probably the reason why they never ask you the "do you have a girlfriend?" question, at least that impression is what it would give me if they treat me like that, doesn't mean you are what I'm describing here since I don't know you.

Why ask someone a question when they've given you the same answer over and over again?

:cry: I'm sorry she thought that. I genuinely didn't expect her to think such a thing. I don't know what to say about your mom's thoughts. You have to decide for yourself how to react. But either way what she thinks doesn't influence reality. You obviously can get married. People from all levels of the spectrum are dating and falling in love. I don't know how anyone could think that you couldn't. Your picture suggest that you are handsome and your writing suggest you are articulate, not that either of those are prerequisites for finding love, but these are two qualities you clearly have. If you want to date then make a plan to do this and ignore what she thinks.

well, I try to keep myself in shape, which is a plus, I guess. And I can talk to women, with little problem and I can make them laugh.
And I can be very charming, but Im a ''different'' and little ''weird'' alot of times and my mom, of course knows that.
She has gotten mad at me before because of my ''odd'' behavior. We do get along but you know typical parents stuff.

will, I get married. I don't know, maybe or maybe not. anything possible, Im sure.
