I think my boyfriend has Aspergers and I need help!

Actually, gray/white hair on a woman could be attractive. I, myself, am hoping to eventually get white hair.
It's kind of unexciting on me, but I just can't get with the whole "run for the hair dye" thing. I think mainly he was marveling at my ability to age visibly without getting insecure about it. (It's what happens when you stay alive a long time, never saw the point of trying to hide it.) Anyway. No, he wasn't much for the standard compliments.

mfs- we met on tinder actually. After meeting him, I was surprised that he had the courage/nerve to ask me out for online dating. I found myself initiating the conversation, but he seemed interested. for the first few months, it was very hard. we were moving at a very slow pace, often times, i didn't know the next time we would see e/o. . it was funny, he asked me to fly a few states away to meet his family, but still didnt want to take the step of "boyfriend/girlfriend" which seemed odd to me. I told him I loved him first, and weeks later, he told me, but I questioned it for awhile.. I fell for him b/c we have so much fun together. He is kind, has an extremely dry sense of humor, which I liked at the beginning, but now it seems as if nothing is serious. he used to initiate intimacy, but now does not really. Its almost as if he has pulled back on that, but made leaps and bounds of being involved in my life, hangs with my friends, and is getting more consistent about time spent together. I do often wonder if he thinks I am attractive. I am not overly confident, but get hit on pretty often and am considered by most men to be pretty attractive. I don't think that most women would necessarily find him attractive, but he never really calls me pretty or compliments me.
Which means that he doesn't like you just for the looks like other men, is that a bad thing? You'll become old and not-so-looker like everyone one day. I would compliment about looks a lot only if it's a short term thing (just a casual thing) otherwise I think it's pointless and stupid because that's not everything (not even a bit) for a long term.

Blahhh why does that even matter? Just because he's perceived less attractive by the opposite sex than you then you feel entitled to be get compliments from him on your looks ?

Whenever I see a thread like this I always wonder: how does a person like this, who appears to not want:
*) affection
*) sex
*) emotional connection
*) time together
... even get into a relationship?!
I don't mean this as any kind of insult to you or to him. It's just something that's always puzzled me.
In this case you said it was over Tinder, so I can only guess it was largely based on physical attraction, at least from his side. I suppose you also must have found him attractive, despite saying that "most women" wouldn't.
