On top of this I am completely introverted, and can go days or weeks without talking to anyone, mainly because I dont think about it. So the little friends I do have, slowly get mad or forget me.

So if I cant even keep friend, how will I ever find a boyfriend or something? Is this even something I want? I feel like I might be missing out on a lot, but am not sure how to go about changing things...


Whats a workaround to this? Im 24, cute, smart, and apparently undateable.

Suggestions? What do you guys do?


Undateable? Certainly not, but this feeling of "missing out" could be the actual root of the problem. If your truly happy with the life you lead then companionship will be adding to your happiness and is not something that seems like it completes you. Trust me, missing out on unnecessary heartbreak is something I would have chosen over the situation I'm currently in now :(

Boo was right. I'll very likely be in Alaska by mid to end 2012. See you there :)

Fortunately, one of my interests is flying, be it on jets, helicopters or airships (the latter is more interesting, actually).
Unfortunately, if I manage to acquire a flying transportation, it won't be before I'm 50, at best.

But I guess I'm deviating from the topic at hand. Sorry.

If you're cute and are looking for a cute guy then post a pic and perhaps we can date. Problem solved.

The problem is that if any guy came up to you, you might either be suspicious/avoidant or too trusting. Neither is good.

There are viable options for high functioning autistics, but it comes down to discernment.

Only a few men from a crowd, will ever be suitable options. The rest is just time wasting and disappointments that no one needs.

Be prepared to do the forward gestures, as these suitable guys might not even notice you :arrow:

yes and yes.

I was like that also. I cared a lot about being social and saying something back to what someone said then I got to figure myself and who I want to be.

You sound kind of like me, except for the b***h/as*hole part.... :? Or maybe I do seem like a dickhead....I really don't know.
Im really shy and introverted and yet again Im going through another period of my life without friends. My best advice is to just keep trying. There's no sense in beating yourself over it and giving up.

Hmm I like you people, very good advice =) Not sure how I feel about posting my pic online though... Im really personal, not really my thing...

Ok, so quick update: So I go out, ready to meet people and be open and nice and not not run away from guys.
So I start talking to this guy, looks nice, cute-ish, all good. Thinking BF = 1??
Im doing well with eye contact, even laughing now and then. He is feeding me too much alcohol, but I think maybe he is just being nice.
Suddenly out of nowhere he asks me over to his place, I say no Im not sleeping with you. He sticks around a while, tries to feed me more alcohol, fails, and 5 minutes later he leaves. Guys just want sex. Hmmmmm.... No more bars for me.

Guys at bars just want sex. That's why they go there.

You have to look somewhere else for boyfriend material.

I know. I was just stuck at that bar that day, and thought I might meet someone interesting. Nope....
But I guess people are also more open at bars / clubs, you go there to socialize, where as people do not really go to socialize at other types of places.
