Hi,

I am upset today. Worried about my future. I am worried I am going to be forever alone. It seems that more people just don't see me as a potential partner. Does anyone have this happen to them?

I think this is about 95% of what this forum is about.

I dont think that you were meant to be alone forever. Although, I do believe that some people are not meant to get married. You just havent met the right person yet. Go out and meet people. Not in a club or a bar though. If a guy approaches you, talk to him, take his number and call him to find out what hes about. Many people are meeting their mates on the internet these days, so maybe you can try that. I was feeling the same way about myself, however, i have had boyfriends but it just didnt workout. Also, i meet plenty of guys but i never feel that they are right for me. Good luck and be careful.

This is exactly how I felt before I met my girlfriend not very long ago. I gave up dating because I thought there was no hope for me. At least I focused on my studies and on developing myself through my hobby of medieval swordfighting, so all that time didn't go to waste.

It is hard for us, aspies, because we are a minority, and we don't meet compatible people as often as "normal" people. But this doesn't mean you should give up hope. Love can come from many places. As LeaPoufyPony said, you should meet new people either off- or online, and you might meet someone special eventually. I also met my girlfriend online, by the way.

I also think one shouldn't be too much concerned about being alone. One should focus on living life to the fullest, either alone or with a partner. Love isn't the goal of life. It just means that you are not walking alone on your path (and you make sacrifices, too). Besides, having a cool hobby that you enjoy makes you more attractive. :wink:

I know a guy named Charles Cairns. He is an eminent linguist. He was alone for a very long time before he met his wife.

But he DID find his wife. He never gave up.
