I asked my ex to put on a dress for a romantic candlelight dinner. I asked her to wear gloves too. She was a tomboy. I wore a suit. I gave her a tiara. Wine and champagne with dinner and danced a few slow songs. I am the aspie. I am wondering if I went to far? Also do women appreciate that kind of stuff anymore?

I'm a tomboy.
If my husband did it to me, I would enjoy it as a kind of roleplaying.

Did she? I am sure some women would love it, I think it's wonderful. Well done you.

I treated her like the princess she looked like.

She probably liked the attention. You didn't go "too far."

If you went "too far," she wouldn't have consented to the dress and gloves.

I loved her with all my heart. Now I feel like my heart is stone, like solid rock. I am trying to figure out, why women don’t date me.

Ask her. Just explain why you did and that you hoped she liked it, but understand if she didn't. Either she enjoyed it, or will be happy you're showing interest in what makes her happy by asking.

I don't see where the woman rejected the OP.

He said so in another thread.

He actually broke up with her......

I've been through this sort of thing. I have regretted a decision like that.

It would be nice if she came back to him, and they lived happily ever after.

She’s my ex now and we’re not on speaking terms. She still owes me money too. I wonder why women are just not interested in me anymore.

If she doesn't owe you that much money, I wouldn't pursue the money.

If you gave the money as a gift, you won't be able to get it back.

Did she sign some sort of "note" saying that she owes the money?

She promised me and sent me text messages. If I do pursue with small claims, gonna cost me more than what she owes me. When she told me her cats meant more to her that was literally “a shot to the heart in cold blood.” Found out around our would-be third anniversary this past February, she’s engaged that “was a stab to the back.” I have two questions.

This is ridiculous if I didn’t mean that much to her why did she give me a second chance?

And, if she felt that I was ignoring her, why didn’t she say anything?

She said she told me along time ago that she told me her cats will always be more important and that I ignored her.

These are things we might never know.

Maybe she was having problems with the other guy at the time she "took you back." Maybe she genuinely wanted to "take you back."

Who knows why she didn't "say anything" when you were ignoring her? Maybe she felt like you were ignoring her later than when she said you were actually ignoring her. Who knows?

I feel like this is definitely a situation where you must "move on."

Don't preclude yourself from finding another person---especially since you had found your ex previously.
