Majority of my relationships end up being long distance with women I meet on the internet. I know long distance is heavily frowned upon, but realize I've never really have any luck with women in real life. I've only dated about 4 in real life and that was way back when I was a teenager (I'm 23 now). I've always had extremely bad luck with women for some reason. I know women think I'm attractive, I see them smile, I get flirted with often, and catch them staring, but the weird thing is it seems once they get to know me, it all changes from there. They tend to back away and I'm not sure why. Then I started thinking maybe they can pick up on my anxiety disorder (I also have aspergers by the way). I'm not sure what to do. It seems I can never have a REAL relationship and that worries me cause everyone around me is getting engaged or married. I know some of you say I shouldn't want to be like everyone else. But that's not the case. I want a relationship cause I want to find a woman who actually loves me for me, but it seems that's all but a dream.
You are still young, give it time. There is someone out there for you that will be the right woman for you, you just have to be patient. I would try being open and up front about your aspergers and anxiety on your dating profiles, there are plenty of girls out there that will be understanding and won't mind and you will know right away if it is going to be a problem or not, that way you don't waste your time on the wrong girls. Maybe try to find an online dating site for other people with aspergers? I don't even know if that exists but my gosh they have a dating site for everything these days lol. Now I'm not going to say it will be easy, I've had anxiety for most of my life and been divorced twice, a lot to do with my issues but mostly because I married arseholes lol. I have been with my current man for almost 10 years now, it is still hard at times because anyone not living in your skin can never truly understand 100%. You just have to find someone who is willing to take the good with the bad, there are still girls out there like that, you just have to be patient and maybe if you stop looking so hard she might just come find you LOL. Best of Luck!!!
Dating is hard for anyone! I have children 23, 22 and 20 and it's a struggle. Give it time, and when your doing that work on loving yourself and find things you love to do so you can share it when you do meet someone you like.
