Therein lies one of your problems. Intimate partnerships are an emotional experience and there are ways to get a girl to reciprocate your emotions without the need to overthink the interaction,

I just attended a university christmas party and I quite easily mixed with about 30 different girls (a mix of single and married) and I met many of them for the first time. I had to be dragged away by a colleague as I was becoming the centre of attention (and of course I am married). The point is when I socialise I take the philosphy I have nothing to lose by being pleasant and nice and the rest flows organically. All of this comes from practice and admittedly I am much more experienced and confident with socialising with females than I was when I was in my 20s.

You just need to keep yourself out there and like a persistent fisherman you will catch a fish eventually.


When will you apply your real life philosophy to online socialising? :scratch: <joke> :mrgreen:

No one is reading anyone's mind. But a person's inner feelings/anxiety/frustration can "seep out" even if they are doing an excellent job of hiding it.

-

Jack is meeting Sue for a first date tonight.

Jack had a stressful day at work, and he can't take his mind off the problems presented at his work that day.

Traffic is bad on the way home, he doesnt have as much as he wants to get ready for his date. He feels rushed and stressed.

Jack arrives at the restaurant just as Sue arrives.

From Sue's perspective, Jack has impeccable timing. From Jack's perspective he just barely made it on time and he's mad at himself for almost blowing it.

Jack compliments Sue's outfit,

He asks her questions about herself to better get to one her,

And he tells her about some of his accomplishments.

Jack leaves feeling happy about how the date went and expects to hear from Sue again soon.

From Sue's perspective:

Jack made sarcastic remarks about her personal tastes,

He interrogated her to evaluate her worthiness against the other women he was interested in,

And he complained about how badly everyone treated him at work even though he was basically carrying the entire company.

Sue politely thanked Jack for dinner and resolved to never speak to him again.

-

Same event, same people, but being a little curt or distracted (even in sincere words) can change the entire interpretation, especially to a stranger.

And we often dont fully realise our tones of voice or brusqueness/gentleness of our mannerisms.

Where is the talk about children and religion? :c These two dont know what to talk about on a first date

Lmao. That means in translation, don't push the topic. Details are better left alone.

By the way, about me not being a fan of coffee, however unexpected that might be, coffee consumption probably would go well with high risk takers (which i normally dont do unless something's going on). I have to learn how to party like a geek.

Also coffee also contributes to bp, as opposed to green coffee which has the opposite effect because it was treated differently. Kinda like green tea is lame compared to white tea, and their prep processes are similar to green vs black coffee. But id take green tea anytime over black coffee. Except it tastes like Bitrex on soap and every other tea is better.

Moving on from tea coffee also gives insomnia, I used to take these substances, one of which was a plant containing caffeine, and id take 1 pill in the morning, but i couldnt sleep at night. Same with any other plant I tried that would boost my focus bc adhd meds are too dangerous long term and I was losing my job. They caused an insomnia that was affecting me pretty early and bad enough to give them up.

I realized caffeine is one of the most accessible substances and maybe cheapest that would be able to be used, and that's how I understand its mass usage, but coincidentally it is not caffeine which gives green or white tea which is low caffeine, their effects, it is actually other effects in the plant which contribute to boosting focus and awakeness, which says a lot considering caffeine is ridden with awful side effects and makes you a freakish addict and addicts are selfish and silly looking.

All in all, caffeine isnt that bad but when people speak of it a lot like some amazing thing it's really annoying. It is however not the best choice and certainly not the one for me.

That's very true though. High risk nerds xD My best or should I say calmest ex was into coffee. She was a big nerd. Impressive how coffee doesn't energize some peoples negative brain patterns and how alcohol makes some people automatically angry depending on their childhood traumas.

Hey! 8O

I am not after sex. I am after emotional connection.There is something about female attention that male attention can never replace. And no, it’s not just sex.

Can you explain what exactly it is?

I got the impression he more meant bringing financial stability to the table, and maybe she'd bring other things to the table. That seems different then situations where one partner is just using the other for their riches but doesn't care about bringing anything to the table that person would benefit from.
That's kinda what I meant. In order to attract a partner, you must have something about you that they find attractive(I mean You in the general sense). Personality & inner beauty doesn't always get noticed rite away, especially for people that are misunderstood & tend to make bad 1st impressions as a result like those of us on the spectrum. It can take time to fully gauge someone's personality & people need a reason to give somebody a chance. Just because the money & financial stability is initially attractive, it does NOT mean that deep real love can not develop over time as the couple get to know each other. A common struggle can be good for bringing some people together & helping them fall in love but so can being able to compensate for each other's strengths & weaknesses. For example it's common for men to be the main financial providers within a relationship & for the woman to handle the majority of the the housework & raising kids(aka domestic responsibilities). It could be looked at as the man & woman each using the other, the man is using the woman so he would not have to do housework & not have to help with the kids as much, & the woman is using the man so she would not have to get a real job or not have to work more hours in a real job. Or it can be looked at as a symbiotic relationship where they each bring something to the table.

I've meantioned this before in various posts in this forum but I'll touch on it again. Due to the traditional gender roles with relationships, it is common for women to expect that they will have to do the majority of the housework & raising the kids. Women also tend to earn less than men from employment & lots of companies here in the US do not offer paid family & medical leave & it is also common for a person's health insurance to be tied to a person's job. When a man is not gainfully employed, women worry that they will have to work long hours from a job where they are employed in order to make ends meat & the women also worry that they would have to do the majority of the housework & raising kids on top of that. That is even more of a concern when the guy is disabled. He might not be able to handle the housework much at all & he might end up running up a lot of medical debt. If a disabled guy is gainfully employed &/or has a bit of money & resources saved up, women tend to be less wary about that unless there is a chance the guy's disabilities could suddenly get worse. I know that sounds harsh & judgemental & is not always the case but it is a fairly common concern women have about dating disabled guys & autism is a disability.

Me and my boyfriend have genuine love but also if we broke up we'd both have to move back in with our families...and that is worse than any conflicts we've had. I would not say we are just using each other to afford an apartment, though it is true in our case one without the other= no apartment for either of us. Basically symbiosis and genuine love can coexist, doesn't have to be just one or the other.
It's like that for me & my girlfriend as well except she could still afford our apartment due to her benefits but she couldn't handle living alone so a family member would have to move in with her. She finds me easier to live with than her family & I find her easier to live with than my parents. We are also both loyal to a fault. We both worry about the other a lot & I am very protective of her. We are also very affectionate with each other, each find the other very cute sometimes, & we do miss each other when we spend a few days apart(like when she spends a few nights with family or when I would spend a couple weeks with my parents during the summer) so we do love each other even thou our relationship is symbiotic.
