hi im wondering if anyone has advice for dating/getting into a relationship with aspergers? Im 19M and been on two dates my entire life and both went pretty bad. Im not very good at non-verbal communication and things tend to end up awkward. Im quite introverted and struggle to make close friends. I also have social anxiety and get extremely nervous when asking someone out/during the date which only makes things worse. I've never held hands or kissed anyone which im concerned might be a red flag for someone my age.
I do think I have some good traits. Im reasonably tall and good looking, in shape, and in medical school. My few close friends describe me as a very good friend, though it took me years to build this a strong connection. I know that im still young but it just makes me sad watching all my pairs partner up and be happy while im so alone.
any advice is appreciated! thank you :)
