95% of people dated by the time they're 18. I'm 20 and never dated. This probably means there's no way I'll ever be able to find a date. I don't see how the 95% is possible since dating is so competitive though.
The meaning of my life since preschool was to go out on a date and I can't even do that.
I feel that everyone on this forum likes their life but me.
Wow there are so many things to do I enjoy hiking, marathons, music, art, reading, writing, scrabble online, cryptic crosswords, animals etc etc... Don't look down on your talents you can use them to the best of your ability and find more to interest you... BTW I had a hard time too - I'm 49 and was only diagnosed at 46. I never dated at your age and came out as gay in my late 20's, meeting my soul mate at age 33. Although we are not currently living in the same city, we're still together in spirit and I miss him! I think he's also an Aspie as he doesn't like crowds of people and never enjoyed office parties or "tem-building" events.
Join a hobby group, volunteer to help a charity that's close to your heart, whatever your interest might be. I wish you success and happiness....
