I went on a reality dating show called Love at First Kiss

Too bad we don't have the "Dating Game" any more

Or "Love Connection" with Chuck Woolery!

On "Love Connection," couples frequently went to Catalina Island near Los Angeles.

Thanks, Alex.

I was cringing during the "date" scene where Alex (holding flowers) was wondering how long he would need to wait for his date to show up because, when I lived in Studio City, I made plans to meet an acquaintance at Marix on Santa Monica Boulevard. Five minutes ... 10 minutes ... 15 minutes ... 30 minutes ... no show, no call, no e-mail message. Classy.

It was this experience that convinced me to adopt a 15-minute rule. Even in Los Angeles, traffic is never so bad that, if the destination is known, arrival should never be longer than 15 minutes after the designated time. And, when it is longer, an apology should be offered quickly thereafter using an e-mail message, at least. My 15-minute rule has never failed me. If the other person doesn't arrive before 15 minutes, I leave precisiely thereafter, and treat myself to something entertaining in place of the planned date. Their loss.

So, I was pleasantly surprised that Alex's experience didn't resemble mine. Good.

Are you still seeing the girl, Alex?

Did they censor the sex scenes?

I was interviewed for the TLC blog about the show and dating with autism: http://www.tlc.com/tlcme/love-at-first- ... th-autism/

I really wanted to watch this but...



EDIT: I was able to watch the short clip from the TLC blog... Damn Alex nice one! She was gorgeous and that was a full on kiss. I hope that going separate ways didn't bother you too much.

Hubba hubba, that was quite a first kiss, Mr. Alex!

You put the "hot" in "haut-ist-ic"!

If anyone can't watch the video on the TLC site, send me a PM and I will share a link that will work for you.

What's the stage name of this model girl you just kissed?

You know...for research purposes.

Now I know how Alex kisses.

Thanks for the link Alex! That was good, it really put across how autism can make those first dating bits so much more intense. They're intense for anyone, but having autism really adds another layer. I'm glad the show didn't hide or cover any of it up, they really just put it all there for us to feel all the emotions too.

Hopefully this will give an understanding for those without autism to see how it can be. I honestly can't imagine how difficult that must've been for you to film that. It's incredibly difficult normally, let alone with a beautiful woman and a film crew watching and recording everything. Thanks for helping to raise awareness and understanding.
