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?

  • It is until the endorphins wear off(!) and you revert back to feeling your normal Aspie disgruntled self, but now you have to contend with a partner, and they have to contend with you...

    BUT it is a different PITA to living on your own, so if you find that you CAN with a LOT of hard work keep it going, after the endorphins wear off, you might find like I did that it's still preferable to living on ones own.   

    I still wish I had that gift of doing the little & big things that make people happy by intent, and not accidentally "getting it right for a change" as seems to be the case.
