| I have noticed that I don't value my life very much. I'm not actively suicidal anymore but I just don't care so much about possibly risking my life by not taking care of my health. I have become somewhat apathetic. Not even depressed anymore, just apathetic. |

| In my case they weren't just slow, they didn't pick them up at all. I brought them up myself. 20 years and nobody ever thought about it. |

| Beside of that many women on spectrum struggle a bit with signaling interest in a way that NT guys really get. They don't do eye contact (just as totally uninterested NT women), don't stroke the hair back, don't smile at the guy, don't get 'accidentally' in touch, don't try to stay near to him aso.... |

| I don't understand why you didn't tell me such a big news yourself. I feel so embarrassed because I talked about totally insignificant things while you were experiencing something like that. I feel like a total idiot. |

| I did but I have missed my chance. I'm 35 and single. I never had a relationship stable enough to even think of it really. Maybe it's better this way, after all. I have so many restrictions that it would have been very difficult. |

| People usually smile at other people when they want to show friendliness or good intentions towards them. If you like to watch TV series or movies, you can use them to see some example situations. Don't smile all the time, it's weird. |
