Forever Alone

So, I found this subreddit...

Does anyone here feel that they fall under this category? It's my birthday soon, I'll be turning 31 and I've never even been on so much as a date. In the US, it was estimated in 2008 that c.3% of men fall into this category (virgin at 30-34), but that doesn't make me feel massively better.

I want someone to share my life with...

    Well, the happy solitary life with a cat, for all of its merits, isn't really what Stephen is after from his original posting on this thread.

    Having autism does not mean that you have to be single and lonely or single and happy.

    Have you tried any dating websites? This is an increasingly common way of finding a partner. I think that you should get a friend or a counsellor to help you write a profile and then go on some dates with zero expectations. If you haven't even started to get experience then the first one will probably be a car crash but it will be good experience and you can learn as you go along.

    If I remember correctly, there is a chapter in this book www.amazon.co.uk/.../1606236342 on this subject.
