Well, I can only partially relate to that. But, welcome to WP! I hope you find it worth visiting.

Hi welcome .

I'm offering you solutions because it was difficult for me, however I'm generally bisexual.

a) Friends of yours who can give you details on reliable people
and valid
b) Dating sites where the person you choose as your interlocutor is in no hurry, and you can talk for a very long time

C) if you choose this hypothesis, always ask for clarity of intent otherwise you will be disappointed
D) I don't know where you live and the level of acceptance, in general there are no hostile people here.
On the contrary.

So use your look in a distinctive way to ensure that it is indicative.

I know: you will answer me that you dress in a simple and very normal way.

*Keep in mind that the communicative message starts from non-verbal language

D) If you turn to a site and overcome the nausea effect of superficial people, my opinion is to be very selective

*Then it depends on what type of relationship you are looking for: remember if you publish a photo your chances increase greatly.

You discard the wrong ones because they don't propose themselves at all, and you are also chosen for who you are and what you convey as a sensation and emotion

e)It's not difficult at all, I received 200 contacts each time.

Hence the nausea at just hearing them talk; they were superficial and didn't look for people beyond a one-day meeting: which I wasn't interested in.
f) It also depends on how old you are, the target people change.

And sometimes those older than you are the worst, zero maturity.

+If you perceive that there is no dialogue, run away from the meeting by saying things clearly, this would be the minimum.

*Always try to get the other person to talk so you don't give them an overwhelming sense, and look them in the eyes, if you can't say you're very shy, they understand that and you won't seem strange or anything similar.
Autism makes any social interaction difficult.

In romantic relationships it must be said at least at the second meeting if you care about the person.

However it must be said and he understands and adapts to how you are.

Then I don't know if you are alexithymic or have other difficulties such as being touched.

Because that bothered me a lot for example.
