I was checking around that internet for other dating sites for those of us who have AS. There's not much out there and not much of them are free. I having no money currently can't really pay for a dating site but do any of you know of any dating sites that are for us with AS? Or should I wait for those on Aspie Affection to make move or something? Guess what everyone? I finally got approved for SSI!

Ok ignore this thread if I care. If anyone does care I'm going to remove my self from Aspie Affection. If there are any regrets come forward if not then what do I care? I won't remove my self until tomorrow because there's this girl that I've known ever since I first met my ex fiance. She's been really supportive of me. Since she's in college some where we have to email each other and I just never thought of caring to do more than that since I was in love with my ex fiance. If she and I have a relationship that's great and there's no use for a dating site but I'll still be on here. I just won't be forcing anyone's hand on trying to have a relationship with me. You girls can calm down now. You all except for Fiz were never on my sights. I've told Fiz in a pm that I no longer have an intrest in her as a relationship is concerned but I would like to have the same friendship with her on here. Calm down everyone the wolf isn't hunting here anymore for a mate. I think the wolf has been overlooking someone. That lone wolf I think has found someone.

Most dating sites are not completly free. You can look, send each other "winks" ect. for free. But to send email, contact info you have to pay.

I'm on Aspie Affection but haven't made a move on anyone there. To be honest I haven't looked on it for 3 weeks or so.

Why not try a regular dating site, you might meet someone nice without AS.

Not that I'm into dating sites anymore. I think it was just a little fad or stage I was going through. I just don't think it was a real way to met people. I'll find the right girl some day.

I looked at eHarmony, got 5 matches. When someone recipacated and sent out a questionaire, I answered it and then the site wanted to bill me for $251(!) for one year. That ridiculous, what do those sites actually do justifies it being so expensive?!

At least you all are nice enough not to tell me to get a grip when I posted this dating site question. There's this other Aspie forum on the OASIS site. A person over there replied to my post and he/she told me to calm down and get a grip. Now I take that to mean to shut up and leave it the heck alone. Hmm...I'm not really liking this guy or girl and so I turn around to let him, most sure it was a he, have it. I don't like to be told what to do in that matter. What idots even fellow Aspies or maybe he's an NT I wouldn't know. You all are wonderful and wouldn't make the rude of a remark. I guess I'll get that post deleted.

In dating sites, it is a womans world, not a mans. If they do their homework it can work for them woman. For man it cannot be your only option, a lot of texting e-mailing malarky just to meet a woman you don't know anything about.

Meeting women online is something that occasionally works for me in real life.

Dating sites never have.

And I think I've been tricked by Yahoo! once - been sent a fake response so I'd pay for their service. (They've since been busted for that.)

www.okcupid.com is totally free for now, but it's only average.

Tigerfire, I hope you won't mind me saying this... I don't know you in real life, so all I can go on is what you say in your posts, so I can only create perceptions in my mind about you that may or may not be true.

You do seem quite scarily intense to me. And a bit manic/hyper. You say other people have suggested you calm down, but then you post the most un-calm, streams of consciousness, jumping from thought to thought posts, which smack of desperation in tone. You also seem to have exhibited some mildly stalker-ish obsessive behaviour. 8O

Now you may be a perfectly nice person in real life, but online, the way your persona comes across... well, alarm bells are ringing. I find you quite scary. 8O :oops:

I'm just being honest, that's the impression that you give me.

There is a dating site out there called http://www.nolongerlonely.com. Its mostly for the mentally ill (depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc.) but when I was a member last year I noticed a few autistic profiles. The site is free but you have to register to view other peoples profiles. The site claims to have 3800 members.

I have been thinking about this subject recently, and I also wish I knew of some good online dating web sites for individuals with Asperger's syndrome like myself.



I have been using dating web sites off & on for the last 6 years, and I have not had very much luck. From my experience, the dating sites catering to autistic or disabled individuals have very few members & little, if any, activity on them. I have also tried some regular dating sites, and only one person ever communicated with me, and then we lost contact. When I have tried free dating sites, there is not much you can do besides sign up & post a picture of yourself.



I have become much more selective & cautious about who I date since I broke up with my abusive ex-girlfriend 2 years ago. I signed up on a site called Meetup & have been going to gatherings with autistic individuals, but I really want to meet someone. It is very frustrating for me.
