She asked and I’m honest person.

Most everyone at work can tell I’m single and never had a relationship and a loser.
Everyone else talks about their relationship or their partner visits. I’m the only one who doesn’t so it’s not rocket science.


Don't mistake sexual/romantic activity as "success"

Those of us who have had "success" also get the other side of the coin, betrayal.
Right now I am going through divorce, how much of my $$$ net worth gets taken? Over and beyond that which was already stolen out of my home while I was at work?

It's no big thing getting caught up in some relationship, that can bring a lot of problems too. Be happy being single, ain't anything wrong with that, at all.


I won't make a joke because I know divorce can be one of the most painful experience people can go through.

But yes,
Being single can be a great alternative lifestyle.

BTW,
Probably a bit too soon,
But can you see yourself getting into another significant-other relationship?

Most humans and thst includes me, are social creatures. We aren’t meant to be alone and being alone is severely harmful to our mental and physical health.

Believe me, if you were gay you would feel and know by this age! Don't listen to anyone and live your life the way you feel!

I used to be accused of being gay, (still do at times by others), because of my rather effeminate behaviour.

I attempted to explore it, but it genuinely wasn't something for me.

Nuances, such as crossing my legs when I sit down has something others have questioned. I do this for no other reason than comfort.

The fact that I dislike Football. My father put me off it. Gym? No, but I save on Membership fees by undergoing similar exercises at home. I tend to only go to one to swim. The diet change also helps. For no other reasons than to keep on top of my health.

DIY? I spent most of my childhood and adolescence learning how to socialise, and deal with my mental health issues, and I'm now slowly getting to grips with drilling, sanding and painting etc only because it's something I've always wanted to try.

My partner has never really been bothered by me not appearing or behaving masculine on the surface. She's aware and understanding of my behaviour, and is attracted to me in different ways.

I must note, I'm not as effeminate or as much of a pushover as I used to be, I almost bordered into the 'Nice Guy' territory at times!

These things take time, and amongst this waffle, I'm simply saying I can relate to the similar peer pressure I endured, because of how my idiosyncracies gave off the wrong impressions to the opposite sex.

That’s actually all due to homophobia, think about it.

What's wrong with that?
It is called an "Alternative Life Style",

I never said there was anything wrong with it :) It just is a big turn-off for most people.

Thought you didn’t wish to date?
Looking 16 is issue as anyone who dates you will possible seen as a pedophile.
I like small women. They’re super cute. Like they can’t reach a lot of things and how do is cute. There’s one at my work, she’s in relationship with guy twice as tall. My sister knows one who looks same age as her kids.
I don’t think the right guy would care. I wouldn’t mean it sucked having people be mean About it, But small women deserve to love and date too.

I don’t particularly want to date, so I don’t mind the lack of attention so much, just speculating about why I don’t get attention.

Yeah, I think that’s a large part of why men never approach me or anything, is because they assume I’m underage and don’t want to get into any sort of trouble because of that even if they do find me attractive.

I’m not particularly small, actually (well, I am slender, but I’m about average height for a woman), I just have a youthful appearance. And it doesn’t help that I still have skin problems, too :roll:

Trust me, Dragon: you will be glad you’re youthful looking when you get older.

Sly doesn’t want to be pressured into sex. This can be easily converted to “waiting for the right girl.” Sly is a Christian, and can get away with this.

Normal people my age would have had atleast 5 series us long term relationships by now if not married. Definitely would had dates. The women at my work go at Max a week between relationships. The guys a little longer. Few of them date people at work but never me as I’m a loser with no future.

Most Christians I’ve seen oR talked to have lots of pre marriage sex.



These women must be very shallow if they find another partner for a relationship within a week of breaking up. It sounds as if they would rather be in an ill fated short term relationship than actively search for someone truly compatible and have it last the test of time.

That depends on whether I get wrinkles and white/gray hair around the average time people do to give my real age away :lol:

Get 2 labradors, etc, so they can keep themselves company when you are at work.


I quite agree. I have two cats instead.
I don't think humans are "meant to" do anything in particular.
People have been using that line forever.
Are we meant to...sail on the ocean? go to the Moon? play video games? etc. and etc.!

I've had quite a few relationships, and ruined all of them in one way or another. HFA makes it easier to meet people but my "otherness" is hidden and if I try to explain it properly I'm rarely believed. So yeah, relationships can be very difficult and aren't necessarily the Aspie holy grail they're sometimes made out to be.

Though I'm straight I have been "chatted up" by guys a few times. No real bother, I just say "sorry, not my thing". Though it does amuse me when people say "Are you sure?". Lol of course I'm sure! Have unintentionally ended up having some very interesting conversations with randoms this way. I think our awkward preciseness and geekiness gets mistaken for camp.

As for third party gossips, "experts" etc. it's really none of their business.

I think it’s pretty normal. You find some guy you find attractive and he finds you attractive so you go on dates. Most women are attractive so it’s not hard.
What’s annoying is they wallow in thst week and complain of loneliness and how it’s been so long. Yet I’m suppose to be comfortable being alone forever.

Most people wouldn’t think I have autism. Hasn’t helped me meet anyone :cry:
Life without relationship isn’t life at all.
