I think I am a great person for the right person. I hope to find that right person and share my life with her. As for what I offer well. If anyone is interested my DM's are always open.

I am not quite sure what people are looking for on here. I have never really been one to sell myself. So instead I guess I will share more of what I am looking for. I am looking to meet someone who I eventually want to share my life with them. I am looking for a best friend and a partner.

I promise to always be kind and caring. I promise to always be honest and upfront with everything. I do not keep secrets nor do I intend to.

I am not really sure what more a person can offer than their whole heart.

If having a relationship is your number one goal in life, you should give more consideration to what women your age tend to want/expect from a prospective partner in the context of a romantic relationship. It seems like you're only focusing on your own needs and desires rather than focusing on what would actually attract or satisfy a woman you want to date.

In the context of desiring a romantic relationship, what you want doesn't count for much if you can't give someone else what they want.

Being kind, caring, honest and upfront may help keep a partner if you ever manage to attract one, but those traits alone are unlikely to be enough to attract a partner when you're "very poor", unambitous, "shy as hell" and socially isolated.

In the dating market, everybody wants the most desirable partner they can attract based on what they value. If you have nothing going for you that will actively attract anyone to you, especially if you're so unambitious that you're content being very poor, your only realistic romantic prospects are other people who struggle to attract partners themselves. Think low physical attractiveness, obese, disabled, etc.

You simultaneously want a romantic partner more than anything else in the world, and don't seem to care about how most women your age are likely to perceive you as a prospective romantic partner. Not caring about societal expectations is all well and good, but not caring about what women tend to value in a prospective romantic partner is shooting yourself in the foot.

Based on your responses so far, you really don't seem to be taking in anything I'm saying. Good luck with your search for a partner, but it's probably not going to happen for you if you don't try to improve your appeal.

Ok thanks, I am just looking for the right person. I realize I am not right for everyone. But I am always going to keep looking for the right person. Like I said my DM's are always open and I am always happy to chat and answer questions. Thanks for chatting.

Modern dating in America is a scam. Autistic men, especially in this country, are very prone to abuse and manipulation so perhaps it is best you dont date.

Well said. Wanting a partner but not being willing to make yourself a suitable partner is like wanting to drive but refusing to learn how to drive.

You need to have the ability to attract someone to you or you're just going to repel them @BrianWV38!! !

That's how it works!
