Wants to come over on first date?
That’s ridiculous.
Tomorrow someone could exit a 10 year relationship because she wasn’t right for him, but perfect for you. If you deem her as being not worth having a relationship with, she will fall into the arms of “some lucky guy with no struggles” who will have her.
A lot of people look but don’t see. It doesn’t mean anything if someone is single at 40. They could be problematic, but there are a lot of more likely scenarios that are the case. Luck and timing. The door closes, and the window opens. You just have to come across another open window at the right time. It’s the same with getting a job. Fly into the window that’s open in a short period of time if you can. Took me 5 months of trying before I got my current job.
Stay away from dating sites, they attract a lot of people who are single for a reason. Seriously, you’re better off trying something else.
I've been on tons of date and I haven't felt a single thing for any of them except for a desire to get away from them and go home. I'm obviously not built for love and and I'm tired of disappointing myself when I know from the beginning that things aren't going to work out.
I'm done.
If your able to get tons of dates your more built for love then me. I’m unloveable

- Stop, I am driving.

She may not want to have sex per say, also if she is serious about wanting a relationship and not just a hook up she should respect if you don't want to have sex on the first date...

The reason Ryan Gosling is hot? He's not afraid to show his feminine side. The guy knits. Put a couple of knitting needles in his hands and he'd be irresistible!
I’m quite feminine and I can tell you most women don’t find men with feminine side attractive. They want manly men who are strung and drive big trucks.
Yeah big trucks with over-sized exhaust pipes to pump smelly black exhaust out of....so sexy,

I fit better in a truck. But the stereotype is men drive trucks and cars are for women. It’s why the truck industry is so good. A lot of people here drive trucks but have no need of one as they city people. And it’s not just a truck it gotta be he biggest truck with the most horsepower and tow power. Guys often brag and make fun of other people’s trucks. Whole ford vs Chevy thing. Guys be like “ my tuck has 50 horse power then yours”
I guess women bought into it too so a guy who doesn’t drive a truck isn’t a real man to them.
What I don’t like about trucks is they big and makes driving around and parking harder they also use lots of gas often having 10 mpg or so.

I like trucks and kinda have a need for a different/bigger vehicle, but for as long as I can get away with a cheap small car I will. Fuel costs in most trucks are astronomical. My gas costs would go from $300-400/month to $800-900+/month.
We don't have a huge truck culture here like in more rural areas, though. What we do have is the MOST supercars per capita of any city in North America - more than Miami, even. So, there's all us poor people driving around in small cars, and then successful contractors & drug dealers in nice trucks (most modified trucks I assume to be driven by drug dealers), luxury cars for your regular run of the mill millionaires, and then tons of ferraris, lambos, rolls royces, mclarens etc zipping around. It's quite common for them to de driven by young university students who have L or N magnets on the back since they're new drivers in Canada. ~20 years old driving a half million dollar car to school - must be nice!

Yeah it is ridiculous...I mean I get some people like that kind of vehicle and some people have a lifestyle or job that they do need something that can haul a lot of weight around. But the whole attitude of it being a competition of who has the biggest truck with the most horsepower...just seems like a stupid pissing contest. But then of course I would say what is a real man, and what is a real woman anyways? not sure there is a specific concrete definition anyways.
And I also don't get when I see perfectly clean ones all the time, like they probably never haul anything with it because they're afraid to scratch the paint...well its a truck, that is what it's for.

Yep. Reminds me of a year or so ago when I was doing some repairs on a party space and one of the guys said something about my truck, assuming I drive one because I'm 6'2" tall, have a strong muscular build, and a bunch of tools etc.. lol nope I was driving a $700 honda civic hatchback. Vehicle choices are definitely an NT social thing & many people choose trucks or suv's to convey their social/financial status as well as their power/dominance etc - not unlike their choices of clothing and other visuals they use to craft the image they want to sell to the world of themselves in order to get the reactions & responses they desire that either keep them as high up the food chain as they are, or propel them further.
Meh. I DO have a thing for F-150's, but I won't buy one unless I need it.. oooorrr MAYBE if someday I have such a ridiculous amount of money that I can easily afford to drive whatever the hell I want to, then maybe. But for now I kind of enjoy not caring about transportation or fashion choices in stereotypical ASD form as it allows me to focus my time/money/energy etc on the things I DO value even if NT society doesn't give a crap less about what I like. Still, though, I acknowledge that people can be awfully judgemental of me if I drive a total piece of crap or dress like I'm homeless, so I at least drive a respectable looking new-ish car & have thrown out the worst of my work clothes and wear slightly better t-shirts and jeans etc because even though I don't value that stuff much, I acknowledge that it does impact what others think of me & how they react to me/treat me etc etc.

Why though? Did you meet with her for that date and things didn't go well?....just seems odd to give up immediately after someone expresses interest.
Yeah we met. She poked me in the face the whole drive to the restaurant and then kept poking me while we were eating. I decided to bring her home right after that. And I'm not giving up just because of her. I'm giving up because I've been on tons of dates and never once have I felt anything for any of those girls. The only girl I've ever had feelings for stabbed me in the back years ago. I'm starting to wonder if I'm even capable of loving someone. I'm just fine by myself so long as I have my books and my video games. It's time to stop kidding myself and stop thinking that a worthwhile girl would ever find anything to be attracted to in me. I'm done with this nonsense.

Well, hopefully you can redirect your time to something else you deem worthy of it besides books & video games. Sure, do those things and be entertained for a while, but if you're truly dipping out of the dating game for good, I hope you find yourself some sort of passion or direction to put your efforts into.
