I've given up as well. Every relationship I go into turns into a disaster, due to my inability to see that the men are completely wrong for me. I totally ignore the "red flags" and I also have a hard time communicating my feelings. I've found that I'm usually happier without a partner, because I feel like I lose myself when I'm with someone.

If I were 10 years younger, I would focus on creating a life. Find a career, finish school, work on cultivating friendships.

Shush! You ARE young! You are very young. The thirties are the best years of one's life. Trust me. They are more than half over for me and this decade has been very good to me!

You don't want to cling to every guy you go out with. You need to have your own criteria, and you need to learn to recognize the bad matches and reject them after a date or two. But you also shouldn't just give up.

You will most likely find your fella. :) The name of the game is: cautiously optimistic. Don't let the yearning for a relationship govern your life, but don't give up either. The happiness for us with a revolving door love-life, is somewhere in the middle.

Take a break! Make a promise to yourself that you'll remain friends with any and all interesting guys you meet for the next few months or a year or whatever you think is appropriate. Take the dating off the table temporarily. It helps.

I'm only 21 but I just recently gave up :cry: . I cant talk to girls at all. I can kind of talk to them online but even in that situation I manage to mess things up before we even get to meet. Its weird because im not overweight, I groom myself, and I even dress better than average I just don't know what it is. I think I should just get used to being alone, eating alone, going to the movies and doing everything alone. :(

Become this guy :

I've pretty much dealt with my mental problems and now can say happily I have. My irrational behaviours , chasing the potential GF or friend was due to the depressive condition and being stuck in a mindset from my school years (peer pressure ) having friends/ GF was a necessity I suppose in surviving that Darwinist jungle that is public education. I wonder would private schooling be any kinder to a undiagnosed autistic child?

I had assumed autistics only needed their pets and hobbies to get by ? I've been proven wrong by the little time I've been here, :o

I'd sure like to be the guy for you, OP, but you can do better.

I'm already resigned to the fact that I'm gonna die alone

Hopefully sooner than later if I can do anything about it.

there is a partner for everyone on this planet. It is just a matter of your choice if you want to share your life with someone else. Is that what you want or do you want to live with another chromosome attached to you. Happiness is best found in trying to understand how to get out of this box.
