I would agree that aspies have been brought together by this particular website. I have contacted a few outside of here and I am talking to others like us about this site :)

I agree with auntblabby, this seems to be the best way. I don't know of anyone that's ever met their S.O. (if they're both aspies) on those other aspie dating websites. I've only known of aspie couples that met via WP.

However, I'm not on any of those websites sooo... I dunno.

I met my 2nd girlfriend & my current on here. There's lots of guys here who are looking & I'm kind of surprised none tried coming on to you yet. You could try making a post here & mention where you live in the tittle & if your open to long distance or not & then describe yourself abit & what you'd like out of a relationship & partner. One of the advantages to forums is that your able to view others posts to get a better feel for their personality before getting very far with em

In order to find your Prince Charming you must kiss a lot of frogs.

If you go to aspie/autism meetings you have a chance to find boys of your liking.

I don't agree with that advice

I still wonder if this is correct, but it does make me want to go on dates.

Which is the main reason that I joined it. I do use other ASD forums for general support, but the eligible singles pools in those places are too small and there seem to be more people with AS here on WP living in my part of the UK than even on the best UK-specific forum. I'm not quite ready to go "on the market"; but when I am, there is likely a better chance of finding a compatible partner here than any AS resource that I use in RL.

I have already noticed women here that share some of my values and/or characteristics, but it's to soon to be thinking of any of them in that way as I've only been here a while and don't yet know them (or anybody else) really well. At least it gives me hope that in the fullness of time, I can find one or two with whom there is a good rapport that attract me and that feel the same way about me.

I don't know but I have found that internet dating does not work well for me at all. I seem to have problems expressing myself even though I am often better at writing than speaking. The problem is that what I write is too open to interpretation by the reader so people get all sorts of impressions about me that are not actually accurate.

For that reason I tend to attract a lot of souls with whom I have no compatibility. They tend to have drug problems etc whereas, I am sorry, but I am very anti drugs because I do not feel them to be healthy and i don't agree that they improve a persons quality of life. I think they may worsen it. I don't really want to live in that kind of environment and I am sorry if that makes me sound ignorant but that is how I feel.

I rarely drink alcohol either (the last time I did was a month or so ago...I drank on and off for a few months before that. It did not suit me so I stopped doing it. Makes me bad tempered it seems.

I don't break the law, I am not violent towards people, I do openly write down my thoughts and feelings though and I am beginning to feel this is a mistake. I don't think people can handle them, whereas to me they are just thoughts and not really a big deal. Tomorrow my thoughts might be different or they might be the same, I just like to express them so they are not rattling around in my head. But I express them more in writing. If a person asks me to tell them what I am thinking in person, I clam up. This can cause issues in therapy.

I write freely, verbally I am mostly quiet unless I babble on about something I am excited about. I never tell people my inner most thoughts in person and I also keep my observations to myself after having learned that people over react to them. Not so much in writing.

The last time a person asked me to tell them what I was thinking I found I wasn't thinking anything at all, yet before that I had a brain full of thoughts. *shrugs*

I must come across as some wild child on line or unstable or something...sane people avoid me and I don't cope well the ones who are nuts. No offense I just don't fair well in chaos.

I find people chaotic.

I'd prefer to meet someone in real life I think, perhaps after forming a friendship first, just to get to know them a little to see if they are someone I'd like to date. I don't want to rush into anything. If I do have a relationship again I want it to be with someone I am compatible with and can make it last with.

I don't like dating lots of different men or people. I just like to find someone I can love and whom can love me and stay with them.
