Prior to commencing your dating journey, it’s worth thinking about the character traits and values of the person you’d want to be with. It helps to be very clear on these attributes otherwise you will waste a lot of time and deal with unnecessary drama. NB: Whilst physical attributes/qualities help with attraction, beauty fades with time. So I wouldn’t place as much weight on this.
Finally be careful with dating apps, in my experience those things are vipers nests
My husband is on the spectrum (super high functioning, brilliant, but he’s not great with social ques / reading between the lines). He didn’t tell me about until about a year into dating but if he had told me sooner it would have avoided a lot of misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Would recommend getting it out in the open sooner so that you have a better likelihood of a long term relationship with minimal confrontation.
Agreed with this 💯 my husband was not diagnosed when we first me. But once he was officially diagnosed, I was able to tailor my communication to avoid misunderstandings and be very clear about my needs.
Seriously how? Like you’re thinking about trying to settle down? Then date women (or men if that’s your vibe) that you would want to marry. If you find a trait that you wouldn’t want to stick with for 50 years, move on. Be kind, respectful, and if someone says no to a date, take no for an answer and be cool about it. Do nice things for the sake of doing nice things - chivalry is almost dead so if you’re good at it, all the more power to you.
Definitely think of dating as finding someone with similar values and hobbies as you. You aren’t competing against other men, you are looking for someone who would make a good life partner for you. Don’t focus on looks - everyone looks beautiful in the dark.
Find someone you have shared interests in and get to know them. Meet in a public place that is relatively calm for your first few dates. Don't be discouraged if you get rejected or feel guilty if you need to reject someone. Take no for an answer. Give them a discrete heads up about any quirks you might have related to your condition ie eye contact or sensory issues.
Dating is awful in todays society, I am not going to lie to you. I would give you advice but I truly haven't figured it out myself yet. All these apps and things....its so hard to meet people in the wild these days.
Yea I've heard there's piss in the dating pool
Lee your standards high that way you are disinclined to lower them
