Dating when on the spectrum?

Apparently, dating isn't easy for NT's, so how on earth are you supposed to find love when you are on the spectrum? I think my best option is to seek out someone else on the spectrum who would understand more. Any advice on how one would go about getting a meaningful relationship?

  • There are a fair few threads like this on NAS, one bloke recently came across as quite wildly desperate to get into a relationship. Which isn't a good state of mind, it'll freak people out if you're that intense.

    I've not been in a relationship since 2008, but if I wanted to I'd try something like meetup.com. Or volunteer at some charities - anything that gets you meeting people.

    Register on that and attend some events. I wouldn't recommend dating apps, unless you look like Brad Pitt nothing will happen. They're very superficial. You're better off spending time with people at group events and if something happens naturally, brilliant. Just don't try and force things, it's so awkward.
