Sorry in advance for the long post. I'm a 36 m, and I've never been in a relationship. I mean I've dated, and had a couple of brief flings, but nothing I would be able to call a relationship. I should mention that I'm autistic, and emotional reciprocity is one of my biggest challenges. Not to mention that I have absolutely NO idea how to hold a conversation, and it takes me a really long time to get comfortable enough around someone for romantic feelings to start to develop. So usually by the time I start to see potential for a relationship, the girl has already decided that I am just a "friend" and that's all I will ever be. I have tried jumping straight to dating in the hopes that the comfort and feelings of affection will come with time (the aforementioned) flings) but that never pans out. Not to mention that I have EXTREME difficulty approaching new people to begin with, so even the flings are few and far between (like 5 - 6 yrs between). Honestly I'm really not even sure what my question is. I just know I'm lonely, but have no idea how to go about rectifying it in a meaningful way.
