My main motivation in dating used to be the fear of being alone. I was in a pattern of obsessing over one girl after another until I met someone who’d never had a boyfriend and apparently had similar issues. Not unpredictably the relationship turned toxic. My first clue should have been how easy it was to cheat on her after the first couple of years. But as I was halfway into college I figured it was too late to start over. All it took was getting attention from one girl I’d met at a summer camp years earlier to think maybe there was hope for me yet. So about a month and a half before we were supposed to get married, I broke up with her.
I ended up impregnating one of the would-be bridesmaids a few times. It’s been a good life.
In between I went out with a few girls, a couple of dates that went nowhere to a short-lived fling with an engaged redhead to a relationship that lasted a little over a year (college freshman while I was getting my master’s). I don’t care how old you are, it’s never really over. My high school sweetheart toxicity problem was resolved when it dawned on me that choosing a life with her versus a life alone just wasn’t worth it. Even if I hadn’t dated after her or married someone else, I STILL wouldn’t regret leaving her. If it happens that you never find “the one,” give yourself enough credit considering how many bullets you’ve dodged. It’s entirely, logically possible you are much better off single.

Autistic people tend to be childlike.
There is a physical reason for that.
Part of our brain doesn't develop the way NT brains develop.
BTW, We are not wrong.
We are different.
Childlike in what ways?

There are many straight male/straight female friendships that have no sex. I believe there is sometimes a secret desire for sex. I feel, at times, that this secret desire enhances the friendship, and can lead to “more” under the right circumstances.

"Should have been"?
Mate, you dodged a bullet there, bigtime.
Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

Trusting.
Naive.
Overly honest.
Playful.

I still act like a kid sometimes LOL
I meow in the subways, and say certain phrases when I take my walk. I also howl.

Like I said, we tend to be childlike, rather than childish.
