I finally stopped dating, I came to terms with the situation - my insights and observations
Hello, I have written more than once that I have had pronounced autism since childhood, my autism permeated even into my tone of voice, body language, and mannerisms. In my teens, I was withdrawn, I tried to solve my problems, work on myself, and improve, and my friends helped me.
I had no crushes at school, I hardly talked to girls, mainly because of their own reluctance.
I have been trying to date since I was 16 (I am 26 now). In total, I have had about twenty-some dates in my life, all of them were unsuccessful, there was never a second date. After telling my close friends, they then taught me how to communicate with girls through Tinder. At first, they told me what to write, then they gave me to write myself, only before sending it, they asked me to check if I had written it well. Eventually, I learned how to chat with girls on dating apps. Unfortunately, everything was fine until the date. During dates, girls usually stayed until the end out of politeness, but in the end, their boredom or even dissatisfaction was already visible. Although I tried to be interesting, at the same time be myself, and be interested in the girl, it almost didn't change the situation. Eventually, I realized that my own body language, tone of voice, mannerisms, etc. speak for me, which I have absolutely no control over. Girls could smell my autism. I have been insulted more than once during dates, such as that my face or behavior looks like a slob (I won't hide it, I have also dated low-life, low-intelligence girls), although I didn't say anything bad. I have been called that way more than once during video chats, although I didn't even have time to say anything, except for hello. Although more than one girl has said that I am a pretty nice guy before, it's a pity that such guys have other problems. So I realized that the reason lies solely in my body language and tone of voice, which are permeated with autism. When it came to dates, most often girls would say that they were not interested in me, that I was bad or that we simply “didn't vibe”. It often happened that after the first and only date I was blocked shortly after. Often girls would say that it was their first time dating a guy like me.
Over time, I realized that my problems were insoluble, that negative experiences would only repeat and repeat, so I decided not to date anymore. Of course, it still hurts to realize the fact that you are inferior to other guys just because you have autism, which you can’t hide. That others can date and create long-term relationships, but you can’t. That the only sex you can have is for money (I've had a couple of ONS lately, but that's all that's left).
I completely understand girls and I don't judge them for not wanting to choose an autistic guy with "emotionless dead eyes", without emotions, a complete introvert for whom it's best to be quiet and alone, for whom even minimal communication is a challenge. Maybe it's just more annoying that there were some mean girls who tried to mock and insult me, not understanding such behavior that doesn't depend on the person. I even apologize in my mind to all the girls whose time I wasted and whose emotions I ruined, because from the photos and chats, they really expected a different guy.
I try to find spiritual peace in life without looking for a soulmate, because I understand the consequences of that. Like psychotherapy, reading books and gaming also help, at least for that moment I can forget about everything.
And to the other guys, I want to wish you not to be depressed, not to be discouraged, because there are always worse situations in life. Maybe someone is going through a breakup with a girlfriend - I advise you to be happy and think that for others such things are not even understandable, because they cannot even create a long-term relationship.
Have a nice day to everyone. :)
