With Aspies/Auties having poor social skills, do you think you will ever get married. I know that there are those on the spectrum who are already married and possibly have kids, but for those of us who were single entire lives, do you think you would ever get married?

Maybe.
Depends upon if I learn social skills at college.

Hell no! Why would I marry? It requires sharing everything I have with another person and spending my later years bickering with her.

Whoever posted this subject. I am brought to tears (no offense), 'cause I am regaining thoughts of hopelessness love-wise reading your subject. Dude, don't give up. I asked this question quite frequently before. Your love is on the way. Join match.com if you want love. You're not the only one who is lonely and lacking affection.

Yea, but don't you think that would make you a better person if you learned to share?

Also, it doesn't have to end up in bickering.

Most marriages seem to end that way. I have no desire to risk losing years of my life (and half of my possessions) that way.

As for sharing, I know how to share, but it's much more satisfying to accomplish something on my own. I am ambitious and failure is not an option for me.

P.S.: I know it sounds contradictory, but while I don't want to marry, I wish I had a girlfriend. My problem lies with living together with another person.

Hmmm, isn't it like 50% or something that ends in divorce?

That's a teensy bit cynical that you would lose years of your life (but the possession thing, just sign an annulment[learned that from a tv show, :lol:

])

Yea, I am not too good at the sharing thing. Especially with food

Much more satisfying to accomplish something on your own, what makes you think you have to stop doing things on your own, you don't have to do everything together, just some things.

I hope to get a boyfriend when I go to college. My problem is I have a hard time trusting people and with sensory issues. (and maybe the living together, but I will fix that when I go to college).

My uncle (40-50 years old) says the mail-order thing all the time.

I've not been single for my entire life but it's been a while and yes, I think I will get married. 35 is when I intend to have kids, which leaves me with five years and erm, one month:)

[edit] Maybe this therad should be a poll. Mods, can you make that happen?

If I am ever in a relationship, it probably won't be a marriage. I'm not so much against the idea... I just don't see the point at this age. But I'll probably never be in an intimate relationship. I can accept what I've got. That's enough for me.

I'm being serious. The dating scene is next to impossible for me. Need to bypass/find a way around that.
