vaguely points at everything
I might also be too lazy to put any work on dating apps. Maybe I should start that again.
I don't feel any great urge to be with someone. I had two LTRs with little time between them from when I was about 17 through to 28. I've been single now for around 18 months.
While I'm grateful for the experiences across both my relationships and have a lot of happy memories from them, I am quite okay being with myself for now.
I've been oblivious to the few women that were interested in me, and I'm too shy or social inept to do anything with women anyway.
I don't need another person to live my life the way I want to live it. So if they bring something I don't already have and make my life better, I keep them as friends
Because I'm 31 years old, autistic, still living with my parents and haven't even managed to do the deed with a woman. I have so many things going against me that I've pretty much accepted that I am undateable. Things are so bad that I am seriously considering a trip to Germany or the Netherlands just so I can go to a brothel and pay to have sex - because it gets more pathetic as the years go on. Nine more years and I will be the loser that Hollywood makes films about.
Doesn't help that online dating is a cesspit and that the kind of ladies you see on your typical dating app are incredibly frigid and stuck-up. Not sure if it's a British thing...
It feels like the only way you will get a girlfriend in today's world is if you look like a fucking Chippendale or Love Island contestant.
SSRIs. Yeaaaah!
I’m not
I ain't. Just celebrated thirteen years.
