Nothing wrong with that! not everyone does.

The way a lot of people act in relationships, think it's more sensible and wise to avoid dating people unless you meet someone worth dating, plus at the tender young age of 37 you've still got plenty of time to meet someone.

Autistics especially autistic men tend to be late bloomers dating wise.

I mean how many aspies guys were in a relationship in high school? Probably not very many... I certainly wasn't and i'm sure most of the autistics I know werne't in relationships either.

Face it, most of us are not ladies men. If you dated in high school, you're a minority. Generally speaking, we'll get our first gf later then average. Mid 20s and late 20s is expected.

And some don't get a date even in late 20s.

didn't marry until 52, past reproductive years. would have liked to have a kid or two. was engaged in my late twenties, but it was someone out to take advantage of me sexually and financially. had to break up with him after he hit me repeatedly.

older I get, less likely marriage is going to happen.

Never been in a long term relationship and tbh gone past caring

Dedicating my life to my hobbies and interests and spirituality and just making the most of my remaining life.
Thank you for sharing. I just want to point out to the guys on L&D who say guys have it harder and girls can get a boyfriend any time they want, this is further evidence that this is not the case. Finding a partner is challenging for both sexes.


Thank you and agree, both sexes find the whole dating game differcult


Yeah I have to agree with this one even NT find it difficult on both sides.

Late bloomer implies that there is some "blooming" going on, it's more late if it every comes at all. Hopefully you get lucky, what are the alternatives? Either delude yourself into thinking your happy alone or kill yourself.
