Success Stories

Post Reply New Topic

I think it is about time for some hope rather than despair on this sub-forum aptly nicknamed The Firepit. I think it will be good for everyone to see that other non NTs have had success no matter how small.

It's about time we focused on minds on our positives rather than our negatives in the dating world.

So tell us some success stories because we all want some hope.....

at a work training, i was getting to know my co-workers. i found one of them liked art movies. i suggested we see one together. he said, "how about cofee?" months passed. i reminded him, how about that coffee? we met one september morning and began to date. the following may we were married. we just had out third anniversary.

There was actually a thread that was posted months back and got revived a few times, but it wound up dying in the end Perhaps putting the stories in the post could revive it once again?

Happy Relationship Thread

[edited for a spelling mistake]

My boyfriend and I are in a happy relationship! Granted, yes, it is still new but I'm devoted to him and we are doing very well. He's autistic, I'm not, and we have faced some challenges but we are working through them. I absolutely adore him and I'm not intimidated by nor was I ever afraid of his autism. It's just part of the package, part of who he is, and I would not want someone "easier" for anything in the world. Nobody's perfect - I have problems of my own that he helps me with (really severe anxiety that pretty much crippled me for a time).

Extremely happy. Haven't been this happy in a very long time.

i am dating a fellow aspie that i met on WrongPlanet. we have been talking for over a year and have met in person once. i am moving to his country at the end of september

Wish I had any stories to tell. None of my relationships have had happy endings.

Edit: I'm happy for the people here who get LTRs to work, though...

I am currently in a happy relationship and have been for over 2 years. We met at my former place of work (where my other half still works) and, although we didn't exactly hit it off, when we did get to know one another better, our friendship blossomed into something more. We are engaged to be married and have yet to set a date, but nevertheless, we are happy with each other.

While I was studying abroad for a Master's degree, a girl I met at someone's apartment added me on Facebook after she met me for the first time. She asked me out after we had a few conversations. After I finished my Master's degree we decided to live with each-other for as long as she stayed in the city. I've been in a relationship with her for more than a year now. I've never been in a relationship with anyone before, so it was a pleasant surprise to me that it's going so well.
