Dating advice

Ollie

Hi I’m 20 and looking to meet someone but don’t really leave the house much. I’ve tried dating sites but it’s hard to meet someone on there because of my autism. Any advise please on what works for someone that lacks social skills?

  • Try joining local clubs that interest you, or doing some charity work. If you only meet older people there, get chatting with them about their lives and families then drop into the conversation that you're looking to meet someone - they might know someone a similar age to you who is also looking for a partner.

    Remember when socialising to ask people questions, and try not to talk for too long about something that interests you. Ask for and offer assistance with things, this helps build a connection.

    I wish you luck.
