I’m 27 and with my autism have difficulty understanding relationships. Even though I desperately want to. It’s like I’m on the outside looking in. People say we’re not emotional or empathetic enough but we are. I tried dating apps before but none of them have worked. I would like a chance to go out and meet someone socially, but idk where to start. I’m not too much into the bar or club scene like most people my age. I would like a dating app if it wasn’t just about hook ups. Because of my very black and white, moral thinking, I wouldn’t like Tinder very much. Because of my gullibility I always end up attracting the wrong kind of people. I’ve never had a boyfriend but I want one. This curse is going to affect dating and relationships so much. This makes me really depressed.

Someone will see the treasure you are. Someone will see that you genuinely experience emotions and empathy in your own way.
I would forget trying to date. I would go after your interests. If you like animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you like cooking, volunteer at a homeless shelter kitchen.
If you go to places where people with similar interests are working to make the world a better place, you’ll find friends and maybe even a romantic interest.
I met the man who became my husband when I wasn’t looking for a relationship. I was in a class, focused on learning. We shared an interest. We were both hoping to make the world a better place.
