Any Success with dating app / websites?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has ever used dating websites or apps, and as to whether they have had any success with these.

I also notice that there are some dating sites that are designed specifically for people with ASD.
Such as Aspie singles.

There’s been a few relationships, and at least one marriage, which started right here on WP.

A few people I know on here have had success with dating apps.

sure. cool.
I think that people on the spectrum need more help than most when it comes to dating
especially in areas such as the UK, where its expected for the man to make all the moves.
I find the entire thing very demanding, and time consuming.
although in life we often find ourselves stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I’m still alone and never had a relationship so no despite being in dating site for 15 years or so I’ve had no success.

Haha. I have only ever properly dated twice in my life and these were ladies that asked me out. I understand where you are coming from there. I have not tried a dating app properly. I very briefly tried one once. I quickly closed it incase someone fancied me! I know this seems silly, but I was a little nurvous!

I once found a very interesting Ted Talk about dating sites which was given by a couple of ladies that owned a site. They were looking at statistics, and some of the statistics baffled them. They looked into it further. Some of their conclusions may really help you to get results with the dating site you are on.
And don't give up hope.

Is have to lie to have success, perhaps even use another mans pictures.
I’d have to say I’m in a well paid job drive a new car and own my own house. Then they’d expect me to pick them up, take them to a fancy place and perhaps home to have sex later. Non of which I’d be able to do. Sure I could rent a car and spend all ,y savings but there only last a date or two. And I’m sure the rental cars have logos of the company somewhere.
But besides the logistics, I can’t lie. Honest to a fault.

It has nothing to do with telling lies. Don't do that or you will have to live a lie. I will look for the link.

Here. It is interesting.

I found a gf in a forum like this (though not ASD related forum) 12 years ago. After that affair I have not had much success, but I have to keep on trying since there seems to be no other way I could meet women. Recently I started to use Tinder again and it seems to consume around 30 minutes in a day and it really feels pointless but of course there is a little chance...

Thanks for another video telling me I’m creep and women are great

your assumptions may not be true dude. with regards to dating. i am no expert.
but what i do know is that there is a wide range of partners out there and if you
are willing to try then there probably isn't that much reason why you should go without.
you may have to adjust some areas of your life, but hey, if you want things such as that in life
then it may be worth it.

i think that there are likely a number of reasons why you have not been successful with dating.
some of it may be social isolation, poor communication, low social status.
but some of these things can be got around. such as low social status. as partners come in all shapes and sizes
and not all potential partners expect to be provided for.

I do understand that it does inhibit a persons options, as having money does help a great deal with being able
to do things that make others happy. but again that depends on the individual.

I would try and keep an open mind, as each person is different. each has a different set of experiences, values and tastes / preferences.

I think that this area is a massive area that is neglected in autism spectrum disorder. and if only someone would fund this area, perhaps even globally, it would help the ASD community massively. Perhaps someone who knows what they are doing should even start a you tube channel or something.

without knowing your own circumstance, and just off the top of my head.
if you just wanted to get your feet wet, and if you were perhaps just after sex.
you potentially find success with some older woman, who perhaps are just looking
for someone to give them sex. as some of these older woman are strung out for sex.
and may consider having sex with practically anyone who owns a penis.

as sex is better than no sex. some of these older woman may also be really nice
and be a bit like an extra mummy. some may also even be sugar mummies. lol.
and treat you. you never know your luck.

Don't know if this is your kind of thing though, as if you have never had a relationship before
you may put a lot of emphasis on being romantic etc.

although who am i to judge. i do not. i figure what ever makes you happy.
although, to be honest, when i was younger, i went through a period of not having a girl friend
for a long time, and i pined for one. so when i then got one later on, i made too much effort
and spoilt the woman rotten, being romantic.

This unfortunately had the opposite effect, as she was an ignorant b***h. the more i did to try and please her
the more she expected, the more i suffered, the less i got out of the relationship and life. so, what we think
is the key to happiness is sometimes just a delusion.

Most relationships increase stress rather than reduce it. Having sex is something that i like though.

The video is interesting but it does not help much those people who are truly marginal of their characteristics. I already fill my profile like told on that video but I also fall in that "engineering/scientist" category which was said to be unpopular on the video even if their salary is high. And that is just the beginning of why I am "marginal".

Yes. Yes I have. I met my girlfriend on a dating site.

One day the website will be able to choose a partner for you
