Post Reply New Topic

You know what's funny? Guys in their 20s who are a virgin and never kissed a girl, they get rejected a couple of times and then conclude with i'm going to be forever alone. As if they can see into the future and know that they're going to be forever alone. Listen guys, you're in your friggin 20s. You still have some life ahead of you. Who knows, some girl may come along and when that happens, you gotta be ready. Don't complain ur gonna be forever alone yet... Only really start to worry if you're in your mid 30s and never had a girlfriend. If you're 33 and up and you've never had a girlfriend, you're probably doing something wrong and you need figure that out. If you die and you're still a virgin whos never had a girlfriend, thats the only time you can say that you are forever alone.

I like the sentiment behind the OP's post. I have had to tell myself that stuff over and over when I was younger. Every time I had a break up, I assumed I would never have another relationship EVER. I lost my virginity at age 21. Before that, I assumed NO WOMEN EVER would find me attractive enough to have sex with me.

For me, though, when I thought I would be alone forever, it was more about not knowing how to go about getting a relationship. I was absolutely clueless.

Now I am in my early 30's and I no longer believe I will be alone forever. In fact, I assume I will eventually get into a relationship and maybe start a family. That is because I have had enough social experiences with women to be comfortable around them in non-romantic situations. I also have had enough life experience to figure out when a woman is attracted to me. I could never notice it when I was a teenager or even in my early 20's unless the woman literally came up to me and said, "I am attracted to you" which the overwhelming majority of women don't do because I am not a very approachable person.

I honestly don't know how in the world I could convince my 20 or 25 or 28 year old self that I could have a relationship. I just didn't have any positive experiences to give me the confidence. One hope I have for younger aspies is that there are plenty of single people in their 30's and up who are looking for partners. You are never too old to start dating if you haven't already.

Also, teenagers and people in their 20's are less likely to be focused on long-term relationships than people who are 30+, and younger people aren't as realistic about relationships as people who are older. People become better partners when they get older.

One thing you have to do is put yourself in a position to find a partner. If you live in an area where there are no potential partners, consider moving. If you don't have money to date, work on increasing your income. If you don't know how to have a good time, focus on your hobbies. Once you develop your hobbies, find people who also enjoy those things.

If you are unclear on how to approach women, come here and ask questions. I learned more about women in the last year by coming to wrongplanet and listening to the women on wrongplanet than I did in the first 29 years of my life. That has also increased my confidence significantly. There are people here who want to and can help you with dating.

When it comes to women, im definitely a late bloomer. It may not be until my mid 20s when I have my first gf.
