I guess I am single because I attract men that I have no sexual or emotional interest in. As a result it is a dead-end. I don't want to force myself to be interested when I am not. But it is hard as these are the only men that ask me out.
The men I am interested in are shy by nature. I love intelligent men, the epitome of a geek. I am bit of a geek myself and I am shy in nature as well. As a result I see a man I am really attracted to and I end up messing it up because I want him to approach me. I smile at him, I try to playfully tease him, and I every now and then compliment him and he just does not seem to get the message. I know some people will say that I 'need' to be more proactive and put myself out there, but how can you be proactive if you have Autism? It is all so confusing!!!!!!
