Finding love and dating with Autism and Trust issues

CaliforniaDreamer95

Despite what others might say and think about me, whether or not they think that I have Autism, at the end of the day, I just want a warm and loving relationship with someone who just loves and accepts me for who I am.

I have never experienced a romantic relationship (Been kissed) due to school and the workplaces in which I have been situated, where people have seemingly got on with me, they eventually turned against me for no explainable reason, I have a mistrust of people.

Has anyone else experienced this before?

  • I experience this mostly with friends but dating has always been different for me with being gay and attracted to older men, most experiences from online dating etc. 

    I have been hurt a lot by people so my trust is slowly coming back although I still struggle with from time to time as it shows it’s ugly face but it’s getting less and less. I’m with a guy now who understands me as much as he can, there are complications which leaves me thinking I would be better off alone but that’s a heck of a selfish thing to think. There’s not a lot of tactile things but the love is there with the both of us but it’s a struggle to say the least not to be touched or hugged. 

    I hope you find yours though.
