Unfortunately some people were just meant to be single for the rest of their life. Like many on the lower spectrum of autism will never get married and probably never be in a relationship. I know a couple of people that come to mind. A guy I know with classic autism will never get to experience the love of a woman. Also if you're in your mid to late 20s or older, unemployed, don't drive, and live off of SSI, although it's not impossible, it will probably be pretty hard to get a girlfriend.

But for many people with autism and aspergers, they won't start dating till their 20s. It's safe to say that most of us are delayed when it comes to dating and relationships, unless you were attractive as a teenager and were able to hide your autism well enough but this is not so common. Most of us are either too weird and don't dress the greatest, or we come off as "special" to others so chicks just leave us alone.

ME!! OH ME!! (Waving my hands and jumping up and down)

I keep praying every night and hoping I will know true love before I die. At this rate, he's going to have to show up at my front door and make it obvious by saying something like, "Hey, babe. I'm the one you've been looking for."

Wait, maybe my soul mate is the UPS guy! He's always at my condo, but I just never answer the door. Quick, I got to get back on Amazon and QVC and order some more!!

I thought I found her about 8 years ago. Everything went very well at first, but things went downhill quickly.

I was accused of being "unable to communicate" because I asked for advice--one time!! ! I was also accused of being "unmotivated" and a "follower" because there were situations where I had to take a "wait and see" approach in the attempted relationship. I was lied to a lot and I felt I was led on often.

She expected a relationship to go her way all the time, and if something happened that was beyond her control, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't cheat. And even if she did cheat, she expected a guy to be completely unaffected by it. Also, her fantasy relationship involved limited interaction with a partner, and where both partners were completely emotionless. She went from being a very open person to being a very secretive person--rather abruptly.

My attraction to her was based on the fact that she had the same interests as me and was of the same religion (an extremely rare combination).

Only all the time. I'm not even looking for a "soul mate" either, just someone who is well enough matched to me that we could be partnered.

This is how you find your "soul mate". For a lot of people, a soul mate is an ideal that is very unlikely to be attained, even if you have mad wooing skills. I bet a lot of you have already met your "soul mate", but just haven't realized it yet. That's the way it was with me, anyway.

I sometimes feel like I'll never find a soul mate which makes me sad. Then I watch doctor who and feel all better unless someone dies. Then I'm crying for another reason

I've never seen even a shred of Doctor Who in my whole life, that's more impressive than avoiding GoT spoilers.

I feel like things will work out for what's best for me in the end, even if I am alone. I can only be patient, continue to carry the fire, and follow where the way seems to lead me.

I thought I found a soul mate about a month or so ago, but it was just my final childhood trial. I survived the most crushing defeat I've ever experienced and I feel stronger than ever now.
