Struggle to connect with other women

Nic

I'm 30 and I struggle to make and maintain friendships with other women. It seems to get more difficult with age. Female groups have bluntly "ditched" me through school and college; I offended them or was too "weird"; I was oblivious I made them feel that way at the time. As I've grown older, I noticed I connected with males easier, and my female circle has dwindled and not grown since college. I can meet somebody, and we have similar interests, style and outlook; it should be easy, but I just can't seem to make a connection. I'm beginning to feel incredibly lonely and worried about my future. Can anyone give me some advice? How can I go about making a connection, without being forceful? or point me in the direction of any ASD woman's social groups in Yorkshire? (Is that forceful??) Thanks :-)

  • It won't be your fault it hasn't worked out yet. It will be because in this country as well as some others I can think of there is little to none places you can go to do example speed dating for aspies  for example. In Australia they are way ahead and have a lot of these events and it has proven successful for a lot of people. But you live in the UK so it's more difficult. Do not begin to feel that the fault is with you as it is not. I do know that it tends to be as with most things the more popular areas and bigger towns cities tend to have more variety available when it comes to meeting people..so maybe broaden your area to see whats on offer.
