Is it normal no one is a good fit for my weird self
I am high functioning autistic (like many on here...) and it seems I will never find a partner.
I am a woman, mid 20s. I get attention on dating apps. The problem comes later on.
I am attracted to intellectual men but for some reason every intellectual man i've dated has been sly and not trustworthy. It's a shame.
In this autism dating group i'm in on facebook every other post is from a guy (its only ever the men making these posts) crying about how no one wants him and how unfair his life is. So basically i'm too high functioning for those people as I may have similar problems to them but I actually get basic social "rules". But the neurotypicals find me cute at first, then they get annoyed with me just as fast. I'm somewhere on the asexual spectrum too, which they dont get.
Most men i've met that things have gone well with I haven't felt stimulated with or found very interesting hence it's stayed at friendship level. I don't know why it's so hard. Men who are more flirty I don't get at all. They can send a selfie when they're lying in bed and saying they wish I was there... And when I don't get if they mean literally hanging out with them because they miss me, or if they mean it sexually I tend to not reply because I get overwhelmed trying to figure it out. I think that flirting is a sexual thing, right? Like you can't flirt with someone when you're not single which means it's definietely a sexual thing. So what draws the line between flirting and sexting or is the same thing?
Love to me is the feeling of being comfortable with someone and enjoying physical intimacy with them (I dont care for physical affection unless im in love). The last guy I dated I said to him that I like him because we have good conversations and he took offense to it. I have no idea why. I struggle communicating with most people so obviously it was a huge compliment. I said the wrong thing though.
Things never work for me.
