Forever Alone

StephenHarris

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...

    Stephen, both those clubs will have either older women or men as primary members.

    I swear by volunteering as the way to meet people. My best friend swears by Meet-up and doing things you might be uncertain will suit you but seem to be popular.

    My first date rule was coffee near a beach or park.If it's not going well it can last as short as 30 min but a beach or park to walk in gives scope for a longer date if all going well...but my absolute time limit was 90 minutes.

    My partner and I spent 4 years doing the long distance thing between opposite sides of the planet and this required us to work hard on communication and conflict resolution.

    In my experience neurodiverse individuals are vulnerable to manipulative people, so make sure you know reasonable boundaries in a relationship. My partner suffered financial and emotional abuse for 18 years and still has to deal with her (more now his daughter has just had a diagnosis of ASD aged 16). Thing is he believed he was the one at fault for most of that time.
