What’s on my mind today

Does it matter that I’ve never been in a romantic or sexual relationship with anyone before at 27? Society really seems to favor and push that in young adults my age, so a big part of me knows I’m “different” from the rest of society. And as much as I want to be happy, this makes me feel bad.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, to me relationships are incredibly difficult to start or maintain. I’m sure one day it will happen, things just take time!

It doesn’t matter even a little bit. Some people are celibate their entire lives. If you follow “society” you’ll never be happy.

It doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy 😊

I started sexual/romantic relationships when I was 22 only because I felt pressured. I felt old and like I was already behind lol. But it wasn’t worth it and I wish I would have waited until I actually wanted those things

It doesn't matter. My son is 30 and on the spectrum too. He has explored online dating, but never had a date. He's finding some good friendships online. I totally understand where you're coming from because of my son. He's just recently discovered he's on the spectrum with misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder for years. This new info really fills in a lot of blanks and your post really hit home with me. Just keep finding your way. Try not to compare yourself with "societal expectations". You, and every one of us are travelling our own paths. Take care. ❤

You’re not so different, I think other people feel the same way but hide it because they feel pressured! I met my partner at 40 and got married. I hadn’t really dated before because I didn’t care to and I didn’t trust people. I was working on myself and just fine! I thought I was asexual, which I was fine with, but turns out I just had no motivation to hang out with people on dates. Dates are horrible activities!!

You should do what your heart tells you to do even if it’s to have a one night stand for experience and curiosity it’s normal don’t let anyone make you feel weird about sexuality and it’s no ones buisness your lack of experience be open about who you are and don’t take this the wrong way but love those who are in your league and don’t knock it embrace it and enjoy

I didn't have my first date until I was 19. That's also when I got my first kiss. Hard to date when your anxiety is so bad you don't leave the house and have to be homeschool 😂

I met my fiancé online. Well I met him thru a forum. But never really talked to him until myspace. It was every once & a while. Then when Facebook came along we started chatting more. We chatted well about a year before we actually met in real life. He's couple of years older than me but we kind of lived similar lives.

So we were both in our mid 20s when we became romantically involved and sexual. We were both virgins. It's rare but it ain't weird. My fiancé says he's glad that he waited. Cause he feels he wasn't mature to handle sexual relationship when he was "supposed" to be sexually active.
