Finding a relationship

Hello, 

Please can you anyone help me with what I am struggling the most, 

I have to find a relationship or taking next steps to finding love, however I have tried dating sites, I just got turned down and I present myself very well. I connect very well people and i have no trouble communicating with people, 

I don't know if im rushing things or how I'm seeking a relationship I'm not doing it right i don't know. I concert worry about ill be on my own for near future? 

Any advice? 

Thanks

    Dating sites are not the best way to meet people.  I've done Cupid and POF over the years and had a handful of disaster level dates.  For a time I tried one for people on the spectrum, which wasnt much better.

    If you want to meet people and find someone, im afraid it is going to require a multi pronged strategy.  Dating sites are simply one part of it.  Maybe head to your local autism group and get involved.  Join a club if you can, like a walking club or something that isnt going to be a complete overload.  Socialise and put yourself out there, as much as you can tolerate.

    Everything takes time.  Oh and dont be too old fashioned (as I was told by one person).  Apparenly walking people to their house and opening doors for people isnt the done thing anymore. ;)

    I am still searching.  Maybe it will happen one day.
