What are your over all experiences dating as LGBT aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

As a lesbian aspie I've had a harder time finding dates because I'm not very good at reading body language(my gaydar is malfunctioning and I sometimes think that a straight girl is gay and vice versa), or picking up on flirtatious behavior. I'm also a bit nerdy and reclusive so that doesn't really help my love life. lol

Anyways... I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with dating? If so, how did you overcome these challenges?

Have you tried online dating?

(Thread moved from L&D to LGBT)

My experience has amounted to none. I have no dated any LGBT Aspie.

I am online dating right now. I can't date in real life because of a lot of reasons... Anyway my experience in real life is being scared when someone touches me. Especially when I tried dating guys and also being completely lost when trying to understand their "signals" or whatever you call them. People really just need to be more honest and say how they really feel. I try to do that as much as I can.

I'm bisexual, and diagnosed with autism, not an aspie. But I've have had success dating. (The man I am with currently I have been with for almost four years now)

Personally for me the only way for me to find people has been by having other disabled LGBT friends.

I am Bi and I have a hard time dating because, I prefer women over men but either way I still have a hard time communicating with either sex.

I met my current girlfriend of nearly four months using online dating, it really made things a lot easier considering I don't pick up on those cues really well. I can't always tell when someone wants more than friends, and I don't always pick up on flirting. And plus, at the time I was still busy with university and currently am only open with certain people.

eh, not much to say of value, interesting? I wouldn't know if I would call myself bi or straight, I'm only attracted to the female gender, so straight maybe? Its strange how it can have such a huge a effect like that, but most guys just aren't attractive to me.
