I met my second (current) wife on OkCupid. It worked out well because we took our time getting to know each other and we had both answered a ton of their multiple choice questions which meant it matched us more accurately.

I have found that online dating was the only thing that worked for me because I can't read real-life cues at all.

Kitty is no exception.


Yeah you're probably right. I can't judge this with my 25 years.
I just know how my mom tried it many times on many different sites and now she's pretty much done with it, after the last failed relationship.

And I tried to suggest Kitty in particular to find someone that lives at least closer to her, so it's not gonna be an "online-relationship" only.

I'm sorry to hear what your ex told you. I like your picture tho. :wink:


Hands off!
He's mine.
Well, the top picture "him". :mrgreen:



You sure you wanna go down that road with me? :wink: :mrgreen:

I am also bad at reading real life cues, and I'm horrible at determining a man's age just by looking at him. It's so much easier to just read a number on the screen :lol: Those were my primary reasons for online dating. I think it has its place for sure. But I can respect the choice of those who choose not to go that path.

OT: I don't know if I can say much useful, since I just discovered your age.

I personally don't see dating sites as a good way to meet someone.
If you have some female friends, they could give you a hand maybe? Like going out sometimes. But I have no clue how it is for you as someone with AS, since many of us don't like going to places with too many noises/people for example..
But sure is that it's better to meet new people in real life, especially if you plan to have a long-term relationship.



There’s always a reason why some single people end up on using dating sites - it’s often the last resort after many years of failed attempts to find someone in all stages of life (school, college, work...etc); not all of us are .... genetically gifted in health, looks and social charms in order to naturally attract people via “real life” means. Even my last ex have told me that I wouldn’t have even gotten her attention if she first met me in real life.


Well, Igor,
That hunchback of yours doesn't help. :mrgreen:

So tell us,
How did you get your ex's attention, in the end? :chin:
What magic potion travelled the internet cables to capture her interest, in the first place?

I am actually serious, here.

What started the connection?
Just general chat?
Common interests?
Your sense of humour?
Did she contact you?

"Lucy, you've got some 'splaining to do!" :mrgreen:


Which one? :lol:

In all cases, it was them who initiated stuff. Things started as casual flings, I am not seeking for formal relationships, at least not anymore.


I see. :chin:
So that is why you chose your avatar.
To discourage unwanted attention from the chickie babes. :thumright:



Yeah, they would line up at my doorstep. :jester:

And I would be harshly yelling: NEXT.... NEXT..!


Sigh.
If only you were a woman. <sigh> :heart:

Forum or email communication is much better initially, for those on the spectrum.
I could go into detail,
But I don't think it necessary.
Isn't my statement self-evident?

I agree, starting out with messaging is great. Online dating involves messaging back and forth, much like email. Usually to begin with, using the website's messaging system, so as to avoid harassment to your personal email if things happen to take a bad turn.

Next scammer. Better is to dress nice and to go out a couple of times. There are always guys who try to approach nearly every woman. Best is doing this together with a girlfriend who can share her impression of them a bit. Try to date the guys you feel really comfortable with only.



I cannot go out, I have a bad leg problem.

Good for you. I met my ex-boyfriend on OkCupid early last year, he was living in UK, he was in Asia for work, now he in France, our relationship lasted 11 months, we are still friends.

You don't have bad luck with men, just like my daughter - you make poor choices. The smart choice you made this time was to dump that guy QUICK. He's just trying to extort you by making you feel sorry for him.


And while hurtful,
Kitkat has more experience about the sort of people out there, and why it is important to always keep your guard up, initially.


You are right, about 4 years ago, a man took $400 from me, I was still badly grieving over my mom, I wasn’t in my right mind. I learned my mistakes :D


Yep,
The bastards look for people who are grieving.
I got targeted badly when my father died.


How would they know people are grieving?
