And even without all the other criteria, finding another Aspie who will date me is virtually impossible. Nobody answers my ad on Aspie Affection, and I can be as nice as I can, and have a lot of things in common with these women, but they still don't want to date me.

Dude, you're only been looking for anew one for a few weeks now or two months and you're already giving up? It's too soon, you only been looking for a month perhaps. Maybe I shall give up looking for men because I have been trying since this summer and still no luck. I feel I am not connecting to my buddies I met within a few hours from me.


I feel like giving up because I feel I am looking for somebody who doesn't exist.

Yeah its alot easier to change what you want than to change the world to what you want.
And aspie that does not have some super cards in his pocket (great looks, money, famous talent, powerfull friends and/or family) and the social skills weakness of all
aspies can make two choice be alone (largely my choice) or lowwer ones requiremnets in

Tim_Tex,

I think you might be forgetting the implicit 6th criterion:

6. The girlfriend has to be interested in you! !

The only thing I am doing wrong is not living with 50 miles of any Aspie women who are interested in dating.

Skinny generally doens't go with big boobs.

It goes with small boobs. You either want unrealistic proportions or implants.

I have tried and tried to meet people that I could connect with, but no such person exists.

My criteria for a potential girlfriend is:

1. She is an Aspie
2. She lives within 50 miles of Boise, ID, or is willing to do a long-distance relationship
3. She has the same interests as me
4. She is height-weight proportionate (meaning she is skinny and has an ample chest)
5. She has liberal views toward sex (meaning she is not waiting until marriage).

Criteria #2 aside, I have only come across two people who met all of the other criteria--one of them was not willing to do a long-distance relationship, and the other one was only 17 years old (in the U.S., the age of consent is 18).

If I add criteria #2, stating she must either live near Boise, or do a long-distance relationship, then my chances of meeting anyone is zero.

I give up.

Tim


I can agree that it was abit picky, although I feel like I really give up at times, all I want is a relationship with a nice girl, aspie or not, don't have to have same interest and stuff as long as I get on and all that :?

It was a semi-serious comment. I agree with most of the other people who've posted on this thread, that your standards are quite high. But the point I'm trying to make is that even if you are able to find a potential girlfriend who meets your criteria, the relationship is not going to last if you don't meet her criteria as well. She may be the perfect person for you, but if you're not the perfect person for her, will the relationship end up anywhere? You may think that her interest in you is implied, but it is equally as important to consider, as your interest in her is.

I still don't think there is anyone I am truly compatible with.

What can I do besides wait for someone to come along who has AS and lives near Boise, and meets all the other criteria?

By the way, when I said I was looking for an Aspie woman, it doesn't necessarily have to be somebody from this group.

Tim,

Your criteria read like a very narrow, rigid, emotionless sex ad from a personals site.

I would drop criteria #2 through #5 and possibly #1 as well. Yes, there is most definitely an amazing, funny, brilliant, silly and sexy woman out there for you....and you could meet and possibly hit it off! However, with that criteria you aren't going to meet anyone. I am stunned that you had any replies...

Start by sharing who you are, what you like, what you don't like, your interests, your experiences, etc.

I personally like a woman who is smart, funny, sarcastic, and down to earth. Am I saying looks don't count? Of course not! I have met and been very attracted to many different women...and most of them didn't fit the stereotypical "Victoria's Secret" mold that modern day society has crammed down our throats. Open your eyes, there are gorgeous women all over the place!
