  3. I wish there were more choices. Decades of celibacy. Single, happy! trying to be open minded to the possibility... of a helper person for my house (I'm a home owner!) .... I wishTo be surprised ! Past experience (neglect, possibly parental coldness even emotional abuse , spankings that left marks- in childhood?- I don't know. Because when asked, I only tend to recall the happiest childhood play times with my sister. Either makes up for the cold busy parents, or I just tend to be very positive person, to only remember good stuff. I also had issues, when very limited dating Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer partner.)dating, dancing, clubbing, drinking is not fun as it is for NT. I love mental fantasies of men/women/potential dates. It seems like the fantasy is way better than reality. (not sure how Aspie I am!!!!!) but I can, however, flirt, be happy, be fun. (can be mistaken for wanting something more, since my lust hormones are in overdrive at this "certain age". sighs.) I was like Gandhi , maybe lust was something to conquer? I chose celibacy for decades of life!!!!!!!!!! (Oh, I'm pretty darn cute at the right angle. I love to wear dresses, er, exclusively, pathologically, eccentric, I not even sure why any more. Maybe, when I was younger, and bullied, did not feel "pretty" enough.) I wonder about arranged marriages of the past. I can live with less love. (My parents were distant) Maybe, I can learn to grow love? Married forever. I think That would not bother me. Either married forever. Or just single. I don't like dating much. I'm not sure I Like room mates, or people. I Like kids though! They are fun! family, kids, near me, in my life! I think I love. Do Aspies not love? Definitely attach.... familiar...

Single... and not really looking I suppose.

I'm a bit in the middle on what exactly I'm looking for, though the more I think about it, the more I'm creating a list of requirements. If only I could just settle with something simple as "has to have black hair", it would surely beat the odds compared to what I'm outlining now, lol.

As said in another thread on this forum; if I were to settle with just about anyone and not pursue a certain ideal, I'd probably settle with Miss right now instead of Miss right (likely, until said Miss right comes along).

I'm not looking in the sense that I don't actively put myself out there. I'm not going places with the intent to meet women nor am I active with online dating (with which I've had quite some success with in the past) very much right now.
 
"Single and seeing were life takes me." I think it'd be great to have a girlfriend but I don't really understand how that would happen unless by divine intervention.

You should read this, 'The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion', if you're making lists. I don't normally read rom-com fiction but this was a wonderful read.

probably because I related to the character way too much ;)
 
I'm 18 and in college, and never been in a relationship or on a date. I get sadder and sadder whenever I see two people in the hallway kissing or in an obvious relationship. I heard two girls talking about "who doesn't have sex?" The girl I like is already in a relationship. I get sadder and sadder with each passing day, because everybody seems to be in one and I don't know what the hell to do.
 
Married and have a baby. Happy most of the time, but it's not always easy. We have a special needs baby, which makes things difficult. That I'm trying to deal with AS doesn't help matters.
 
still getting over a recent break up so i guess that makes me single and not looking.
 
I have a boyfriend. We love each other and see each other a lot, but I'm worried about how I can keep it up while also trying to do well in college, and having some time to myself as well. Funny how a year ago, I thought I'd never get a boyfriend, because no one liked me, and I wanted one so badly, and now...Only problem is, my boyfriend gets lonely a lot without me because he's unemployed and doesn't like most of his friends. I don't want to lose him (I almost have, but he loves me too much to leave me), but having a boyfriend is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
 
I'm single and have been for almost six years. It's eh. There could have been a guy, but he was not familiar with autism/Asperger's Syndrome, and the many times I explained it to him, he failed to remember/acknowledge it and said, "We all have differences, but those are cute. You should just be able to deal with it. :)" And other times, he'd be like, "Wait... so you don't sleep over at your boyfriend's houses?" Like, the way I feel about relationships was totally judged. Furthermore, he continuously sent shirtless pictures with facial expressions I can only assume were supposed to be perceived as "sexy", but there was nothing sexy about any of that--more like awkward, annoying, and "please put your shirt on" material.

Also, he had no knowledge of HTML/CSS/PHP and somehow found the fact that I enjoy playing video games to be attractive in a sexual sense, and just...eh.

I connect with people on an intellectual level. I need that.

...he also confused "your" and "you're"; "their", "there" and "they're"; "then" and "than"... I understand if you're just naturally bad with it/don't speak the language, but it got to where I had nightmares about text messages saying "your beautiful" and "your cute".

(Also, the need to constantly tell me I'm cute/etc. over the desire to have intellectual conversations was getting annoying. I want to talk about, I don't know... why WordPress is better than Blogspot. Something like that.)

...and his jeep didn't have doors, and he thought it was cool, and sure, maybe to someone, but not to me. And he likes Texas and wants to stay here, and I so don't.

So I'm totally single.

Am single and looking but my self a steam is down little .. I try to go fourth an make friends an maybe date but when I think that I don't see my self equal .. It's a battle with my self .. I want that special someone but will they expect me for me .. Purpose I shound date other person like me.. But will I be lowering my self .. I know I can fpdate any one and I feel am good looking .. Sometimes I feel ugly ... Blast my mind lol :)

Here's a YouTube channal I do to show what I look like
Aw, you're adorbz. c:
 
I'm single and not looking. I find the whole dating game irritating and not worth my time, besides I'm way to shy and self-centered to have a boyfriend.
 
Furthermore, he continuously sent shirtless pictures with facial expressions I can only assume were supposed to be perceived as "sexy", but there was nothing sexy about any of that--more like awkward, annoying, and "please put your shirt on" material.
That...is pretty creepy, at least if the person on the receiving end really doesn't want that. You're definitely better off without this person in your life.
