Don't think like that! Having friends is a good thing! Even for people like us who have a lot of trouble making friends and who don't have very many friends. True friendship is a mutual relationship. We want to be there for our friends as much as we want them to be there for us. I'm trying to get more friends, including this one new friend who I really like but with whom I have been having a problem with. Even though I don't know him very well and my Asperger's-related behavior has scared him off, I still want and even need his friendship. And I think that he may want and need my friendship too, even though he would be too scared to admit it.


Exactly what futuresoldier1944 said! I'd also like to add that it's not about the amount of friends you have; it's the quality of the relationship you have with them. For example, I only have 4 good friends; forget all of those other "friends" on Facebook! If I were on my deathbed right now, then I can count on those 4 friends to come and visit me before I die. Just like I had to muster up enough courage to register and join WP while struggling with AS, I hope that you can find the courage to reach out to this community of good, kind-hearted people and find just one good friend whose worthy of your trust and confidence. Don't give up on life and friendship yet; you've yet to reach the end of the tunnel.

Yes at this point in my life (31 years old) and never having a real girlfriend and only 1 or 2 "dates" ever I have accepted that I will be single. But as I get older I am more comfortable with that. I also see that I just don't want the life other people my age too. Their whole identity seems to be what their kids do. As if they have given birth to the messiah. I know some of that is typical parent love. I was the first born I am sure I got it.

But there is no women my age who will accept that we will never have kids and that I have ZERO int rest in being the step parent to kids she already has. So she can either be upset and long term leave me or perhaps trick me in some way. "I'm on the pill" "use the condom I brought" sort of thing. At the age I am at women are baby crazy and I have heard stories.

I am interested in myself and find that I still enjoy the things I did as a teenager. For example I go to a concert where the band does not come on until 10 or sometimes midnight and I will be out until 2 Am maybe sunrise. Other people my age seem tired at 9 Pm (maybe because of the kids) I still play video games and watch cartoons. I don't want to be worrying about kids. Some might say I'm selfish maybe I just have no penitential instinct and believe the world is over crowded anyway.

I am not opposed to finding the right women and a small part of me still really wants that. But it's a relationship of two people only. Two adults. Adopt a dog if you want to care for something.

I did manage to have sex a few times though which seems to be more then some autistic people. Without the internet I would be a virgin. But even I know that sort of sex is empty compared to love.

As no woman will talk to non less date a 29 old mans who works retail part time and never had a second date non less a relationship . Yeah it seems I'm doomed to never feel love or share my love. I only hope it's short life. Maybe ww3 will happen and I'll die in some bombing. Nice and quick would be nice

Past 25 if you don't have s great job, own place and a car it's all over if your male. :cry:
