I will be a 33 years old virgin in a couple months. It’s not by choice. I have autism. I firmly believe this impacts my ability to date, because neurotypical women show very little acceptance towards someone with autism. I’ve tried to find women on the spectrum to date, but there just aren’t any women in the area that are interested and I’m not gonna get with someone from Canada if they cannot move.

I find it near impossible to find anyone who’s interested. The dating apps don’t work, not even the autistic ones. So it makes things really hard to deal with.

My ex was autistic but she was also a really lousy person. She threw me under the bus, and held a lot of things against me, including the fact I don’t drive too often.

I have a feeling I’ll still be a virgin in my late 30s at this rate.

Also if you say “put yourself out there more” I have. I actually approached a few women at a bar yesterday, and before that, I’ve gone to singles events and tried dating apps, I’ve also ran a meetup for over a year and during that time not a single woman has come along who’s wanted anything romantic, only just friendship.

I also have gone to other meetups and again, no dice. I have tried pretty much everything, so at this point, the advice putting myself out there would not work and would likely only harm me more than help me.

I do feel anger from it. I’m not seething with anger, but I’m reasonably angry, because it’s been a long time and nothing has come of it, and I’ve wasted time and energy dealing with cruel people who don’t understand autism and don’t want to put in the time to learn what it is.
