Talk about your future in a positive way.

Re, the physical side. Well you will probably be a bit nervous, I always was, don`t let this put you off, She is probably nervous too.

Start slowly (even over a couple of meetings) if you are not sure then wait until each move is reciprocated a little before moving forward, Maybe let her make a move too?
I think warm eye contact is the sexiest thing of all. However if you are a bit aspie this maybe weird for you or even come across as too intense so don`t be starey be smart, be gentle.

a safe-ish place to initiate a friendly touch in a friendly (non sexual) way is the side of the upper arm, its not too offensive. once or twice.

EG, if you are watching TV, why not sit close-ish. eg if your leg or arm is slightly touching hers, and then she moves away, that is a small sign to take your time, if your leg is slightly touching and she doesn`t withdraw then that is also a sign that she is comfortable, she is allowing you into her personal space. this is a great start.
watch for these tiny signs.

As for the rest, that`s part of the thrill! but gentle kiss to begin ... let her lead? then take your time with gentle very soft strokes often gets the mood started.


Thank you for the pointers. I'd been pessimistic about my occupation for too long, I need to start focusing on the opportunities instead.

So far she's comfortable leaning against me when we're on a sofa. Will make progress in the next date.


great start then! ... take your time my friend, its not a race.

ya I bet you wish you met her 5 or 6 years ago at least


Not really. 5 or 6 years ago she might not have been as mature and patient to deal with me.

The hardest part is starting anew; forget about the sex and autism.

Going back to college means that you have to quit your current job to do college - not sure if you have night university in your area.

And that would take you 3 years at least and it would not be guaranteed that you would start with a good income from the very start after you graduate, and you would have paid a lot of your savings already or getting debts.

So you would not be able to marry her before 4-5 years at least (Generally, Asian cultures are very marriage-oriented).

Will she be ready to wait for you that long?

You would probably have to consider other options, like going for certifications or... I dunno, higher night education or something.


This relationship happened unexpectedly. I will cherish it as long as I can. But the main purpose of me moving here was to restart my career, and if she is unable to accompany me in this endeavor, I will accept that.

It's good that you are making an effort to be happy through this relationship and it's also good that she understands you. Just make sure her understanding of you and you understanding her is kept the same way so the two of you can love each other for as long as the relationship lasts.

I feel I need to give online dating a shot again and this time put better effort on making a better profile.
