This seems to be a catch-22. I won't find a worthwhile woman online, so I have to meet them in person. I can't meet them in person, though, because there is literally nothing for me to go out and do to meet people around here. So does that mean the only option really is to just give up?


Some of us have met people online so it isn't impossible. It's just alot of hard work. It took years for me to find someone online and supposedly as a woman all I have to do is exist :roll: .

OP I know it won't really help, but you've gotten alot further than me, I'm nearly your age and I haven't even managed to sum up the courage to talk to anyone I'm attracted to. I've considered just giving up many times, but we've both got alot of life ahead of us, I don't think you should be giving up this young. There is always hope, even if the world would rather persuade you there isn't.

When you say she didn't communicate, did you mean not talk much or the way she communicated? I relate to some of those things you wrote about living in the country. Number one problem for me is support like counseling and other mental help especially for aspies is more than 45 min drive. Back to the dating subject, a lot of men do the hunting and like all the stuff you mentioned. Even though I like outdoors stuff, a lot of men seem to frown upon that like I am weird. Church is big here too. I would like to go on fishing trips and hiking, heck riding around in a truck just sight seeing and talking but I haven't met anyone that would be willing to do that w me that I like or that would just use me like a trophy or for some sex and then leave. The places I've met people are at work or college when I went. 2 instances of being introduced by people saying that "you need a boyfriend". I guess cause I'm a little slow or different in communicating my needs. Btw, you might give up, but things don't always happen as you may expect especially in love.

I just looked at you're book site. I read one of your books on amazon. The Staying Human one. I am not kidding! I'm just amazed how big yet small this world is. It was interesting enough that I read it all and I got it cause I don't know. I just like nature a lot. And the title and the picture was what made me read it just to see. I liked how it was talking about the struggle to stay w others. The end I remember except the relationship remains unclear in my mind. Well, nice surprise. Lol.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that I'm just not supposed to be in a relationship. If you were to ask me why a woman should be interested in dating me, I wouldn't be able to answer. The only ways I stand out from the crowd are negative ways. Frankly, my personality sucks. I'm a boring guy, even I can't deny it. Even if there was some small part of me that a woman would find attractive, all they'd have to do is look around and they'd instantly find somebody else who does it better, thereby rendering me moot. The one and only cool thing I can claim about myself is that I write books, and trust me, that's about as attractive as bragging about how my dwarf paladin just hit level 80 in last night's D&D session. Whether it's because I'm an aspie or just a bad person in general, I have absolutely 0 attractive qualities. I am literally the bottom of the barrel, so what's the point of even trying?

Sorry to be depressing, but this has been bugging me for a while.
