Dating an NT and general dating stuff

stranger

So, a friend of mine who is NT has asked me if I want to go out with him.

Has anyone ever dated an NT? Tips?

He isn't aware yet that I'm Autistic. How do I tell him? If it makes any difference, we've known each other for about a year or so now.

  • I found that creepy too. Whenever I spoke to anyone about this week, they said to go with the flow and see how it develops. I tried that.

    One thing I really odd - he asked me out on the Sunday and we were both at running club on the Monday. I got out of his car and went to talk to someone. The first thing he said was "don't tell him". Why he though I'd tell this other person, I don't know. I was only going to give him some money I owe him.

    I can't see how this would work at all. I'm not overly keen on meeting up a few times a week. I know in part it's because of my sensory issues and Autism. I don't like loud and crowded places. Someone did say that it sounds as though I'm making excuses not to see him, which isn't healthy in a relationship.

    I never agreed to go out with him either. I actually said I don't know and would think about it. That doesn't mean yes.
