Why does no one want me to have a relationship?

If one failed daydream got you crashing down then that was clearly an unhealthy obsession. Your lesson: don't get too obsessed, especially not with one person in particular and especially if there isn't anything very clear between you two. Daydreaming is fine, but you can't let it become an obsession. If you can't make a difference between the two, it's best to try not to daydream.
Well you will still be untalented in the future if you don't start working on something now. That's what seems to be the root of your problem; you want a lot of things and are impatient, but you aren't willing to put in effort, especially long term. If you want results you have to work for it. Also, even if you got a girlfriend during, say, the next month, what makes you think it'd last? While there are some couples who just "click" together, most need to work for their relationships to keep going and actually work out. If you aren't cabable of putting in effort to make your own life work, what makes you think you could make a relationship work?

Not thinking about a girlfriend doesn't bring you one, but it can raise your chances since average people (NTs) can (apparently) often sense it when someone's desperate and to most people that isn't attractive. So once you're not desperate, you automatically become a little more attractive in the eyes of many people.
What counts as developemental years? Teen age? 'Cause I didn't have a relationship (or my first kiss or any dates or anything like that) back then either, haven't had them yet in fact (well, I might have had a date, not sure what counts as one) and yet I still believe I can find a relationship and eventually start a family even. I mean I consider myself to be a realist that is more pessimistic than optimistic, but I still think I can pull it off... if for nothing else then simply because I'm a hard worker. I believe my hard work will pay off eventually, I have to believe 'cause otherwise there'd be no point in working hard anymore. Maybe things will work out with the guy I more or less have my eyes on now, maybe not, but I can have hope because I'm trying my best and working hard for this.
Well, I'm a little younger than you but my social skills are also behind for my age (apparently), but complaining won't make things any better for me so I don't want to waste my time on that. I'd rather just practice and get better to get closer to the level that comes naturally to most people.

She ain't the only one. And a pretty face ain't gonna help you when you're down. Take it from a guy who was relationshipless till 28.

I am going to say I do hope you find a girlfriend. Eventually. And I hope you take kindness and caring over looks. I hope you learn what I have just learned while laying in the ER during a major Crohn's flare that a pretty face does nothing to help you but a kind heart who shows up at your hospital room 50 miles away from her house with soft treats to help your stomach feel better, and staying with you overnight.

That is the real stuff.

She seems like a "keeper". Don't let her get away!

The "downfall" is she is a year older than me. But man with my life falling apart right now around me I'm glad at least one thing has gone very right.

Love knows no such "downfall". I'm happy for you (not the "falling apart" part, but the "gone very right" part).

Why should a 1-year difference in age be an impediment?

Being an aspie, being 1 year younger than her is equivalent to being 15 years younger than her socially and mentally.

Plus I've read around some threads here about how horrible it is to date a woman over 30. Well here to tell you at 33 my current girl is the best relationship I've had and the oldest I've dated by a good 5 years.

My wife is 12 years older than me. I'm 58, and she's 70.

I've gone out with both women older and younger than me.

My mother has Crohn's Colitis.

a mere year older, is IMHO NOTHING AT ALL, the most insubstantial of things to worry about.

I wholeheartedly agree! I'm only meeting men 10 - 15 years younger than me these days. I'd love a mere 1 year age difference.

I think that Harpuia's just concerned about the gap in maturity between them, not the age gap itself... I mean someone who is, say, ten years younger than her or his partner could still be more mature than the said partner. I can fully see how this could become a problem if one or the other takes a note of this fact and doesn't like it.

I wrote it in quotes in reference to previous posts about why we shouldnt date women in their 30s.

You should date whoever you want to date—regardless of age.

Eer no. There's no such a thing as too old I suppose, but there is such a thing as being too young. A thirty year old just can't date a thirteen year old. Just no.

Also, it doesn't matter how much you want to date someone if that someone doesn't want to date you.

I'm sure you know this Kraftie, just saying it for the ones that might not get it, in case there are some on this site. With everything that's going on in the world, I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

WRONG!

There are some limiting conditions:

1) They are of legal age
2) They are not currently married
3) They want to date you

Number 2 doesnt seem to stop a lot of people where my gf lives lol.
