Oh...
I don't know whether to applaud your honesty, cry for your cynicism, or check whether you are feeling OK right now :?
Let's say you've hit the nail on the head... and it's kind of painful.

Divorced for 3 years now. Was married for 10 years. I hope to find a romantic partner someday. I have been rejected by everyone I have asked out sense my divorce. The last rejection hurt the worst because it was a local fellow aspie with the same hyper focused interests and likes. He is my friend now. It is better than nothing. I had crush on him off and on sense I met him when I 18 years old. I am just sad. :cry:
