    What If There Is No Chatter or Small Talk?

    Small talk is awful and more difficult when I am tired. The only time I actually enjoy small talk when there is constant sarcasm involved. Not sure if that is even considered small talk.

    Exercise and sports (preferably endurance sports) as a hobby/interest. Anybody else?

    I enjoy long distance running and is something I got into at a young age by competing in cross-country and track. Now I still enjoying competing in road races up to the half-marathon distance. I train pretty seriously and love the feeling I get after finishing a race and knowing I pushed my...

    Leading women on

    I think most people who engage in online dating are talking to more than one person at a time particularly in the early stages of dating. It is reasonable to do this as you are not putting all your eggs in one basket, but I do think it depends on your intentions. I have heard of women joining...

    Reflecting on Parents

    Yeah I get some of this was brought on by my own mind, but the experiences were real and as a kid you don't have the wisdom to see that some of these things are somewhat minor. But there are real consequences for being embarrassed in front of peers when you are a kid. It did affect me at the...

    Reflecting on Parents

    I get all the comments regarding not being able to change the past and to just move ahead and look at the future. I can tell this is an ASD forum by all the pragmatic advice lol. I guess that isn't really what I was looking for. Sometimes it is important to look back and process passed...

    Reflecting on Parents

    I have been going through a pretty significant bout of depression and can't help but help but think how my life could have been so much better under different circumstances or if there were slight changes in my choices or the choices made by my parents, schools, and other decision makers. My...

    Another knife in my heart

    I have not yet received a response from the message I sent and am not hopeful at this point. I know that people are saying to look at the bright side but it is not easy to do right now. I am feeling quite depressed. I really liked the girl, but I think there was more to it since I have other...

    Another knife in my heart

    Yeah that is an idea and I have went on some dates with women that I was not super interested in. It was a way to do something rather than just sitting at home and feeling lonely. I probably could do more of that, but I tend to just put more energy in my hobbies and interests instead. When I...

    Another knife in my heart

    Thanks for all the feedback. I will send her a text tomorrow night if I don't hear from her before then. Seems like a long shot, but if nothing else I hope I can clarify what happened and get some closure.

    Another knife in my heart

    Even before I started this thread, I was considering following up with another text either tonight or tomorrow night and that would be my last attempt. I wanted to give her some time since my last text because I think a bunch of texts close together will push someone farther away and make...

    Another knife in my heart

    Yes I do agree with what you are saying here in taking a more relaxed approach. This is hard to do sometimes, because I always half expect someone to ghost me or back out of a date last minutes since this has happened a bunch of times in the past and can be quite traumatizing. I have tried to...

    Another knife in my heart

    I do appreciate all of the feedback and it is helpful. I guess I am not as optimistic for the future as you are for me. I am in my mid 30's and have desired a relationship for over a decade. I just have never known how to find one and women have not really shown me interest and at times they...

    Another knife in my heart

    I can see your points in that maybe I was coming on too strong and putting too much pressure on her. I guess I was also using a lot of logic in my decision making. If I did not go NYE weekend, it was going to be difficult to see her anytime soon because of the travel demands. So I figured it...

    Another knife in my heart

    Yes when she picked me up at the airport she got out and we did a hurried hug after I put my luggage in the trunk. It was a bit hurried because it was in a pickup zone that was busy with cars behind. On the drive to her place I told her to pull over because she accidently pulled the hood...
