My first 'girlfriend' was when I was 6 or 7.. hell I actually had TWO back then.. One of them moved away though so I was left with the one remaining. We 'dated' for 2 years but grew apart as we grew older.
The specifics of this are quite vague to me as we were of course very young. I remember kissing with her under my bed though (I had one of those beds about 1 meter high and had curtains on the side so it was a nice secluded area)

My first 'real' girlfriend was when I was 16. She was 15. We met in a disco. She played volleyball like my best friend and they knew each other and I always went out with him so that is how we met.
She was a short plump girl with the biggest breasts you can imagine. The relationship only lasted 3 months though as she was very emotionally unstable and a pathological liar. She had more issues than me and she was an NT! (well, for as far as I can tell in hindsight anyway).

My second girlfriend was when I was 17, third also.
fourth, fifth and sixth when I was 18.
seventh when I was 19; that one lasted the longest (8 months) until I got so fed up with her I broke it off.

Aside from my first and last (real) girlfriends all of them were the ones to break up with me.

I haven't had a girlfriend ever since I was 19. :cry:

Aspie males are prone to social failure/humiliation and rejection. Aspie males usually never date during their teens, I like many other Aspie guys never dated during our teens. Your 20s may also come and go and you end up a 30+ year old Aspie virgin loser guy who has never dated anyone. A past history of failure/rejection can determine your present/future. I do not bother trying and I have accepted this is the way it will always be, nothing changes. Failure/rejection lowers your self esteem and avoidance is the best solution.

It is true that Aspie males are prone to social failure and humiliation when attempting to date ,initially,but it doesn't have to stay that way.With every failure you have likely learned something and you can avoid the same mistakes in the future.

I'm 25 and never been on a date on purpose... I've been on a handful of dates with girls I wasn't interested in that I didn't realize were actually dates until after the fact...

Granted I have no experience with this, but... Don't normal people fail a lot too when it comes to dating? I don't think you should let some rejection affect your self esteem. All it means is that the two of you weren't compatible. Move on and try again, if a relationship is what you want. It sounds like your problem is more about insecurity or something than your aspie-ness.

I didnt start thinking about dating until I was 17, I didnt start dating until I was 19. To me dating was so far fetched and out of the picture, like it was intimidating for the longest time.

it's like it's okay for a girl to make dating, relationships, getting a boyfriend a high priority, but not okay for a guy

16, but I gave the person a pity date and regret it to this day...the person wasn't attractive, obsessed with me but also hid many things from me on what she did and was just annoying by the end of it. I even told them I was glad we split up as she tried to force me into uncomfortable situations.

I really wish I didn't have feelings sometimes and just be impractical to everyone in my life.

Been trying to date since I was 10, I have written notes, letters, poems, anything I could think what was considered romantically. Even made roses out of paper and wire. Nothing
Out of nowhere, a girl gave me her number when I was 23, had a 5 month relationship with her.
Another woman this time started talking to me and I followed up with her, I was about 26 then, 7 year relationship.
They have to contact me, it seems.

Your teens and your early 20s are generally an indicator of how life will play out for you in regards to love and dating. Success in early years generally leads to more success in later years. Failure in early years may lead to failure in the future.

I was not interested in dating while I was in high school. I arrived there from a elementary school full of bullies so I was very happy and ecstatic having friendly people around me, I didn't need more love :lol: . My interest in dates began while I was at the university.

I don't believe that at all. It's more about the luck of the draw.
