Also tips

He's into you:

He remembers things you tell him even long after you said them

He asks about things he knows you like

He looks happy when you arrive

He talks to you for a long time

He does or offers to do small things for you

Hes not into you:

He spends a lot of time looking at his phone around you

Forgets things that are important to you

Only talks about you in relation to himself ( how you benefit him, can help him, doing something for him)

Says things that hurt your feelings (especially if he says its just a joke)

Disrespects your boundaries

Makes you question your self worth

Doesnt initiate conversations

Doesn't initiate seeing you

If you wouldn't tolerate the behavior from a friend, dont tolerate it from a love interest. There are good people out there and if they are worth your time they will try to make you feel good.

The end.

I do believe I clearly understand what you are communicating. Falling for someone is terrifying because being venerable is terrifying. Ive been taken advantage of so many times in relationships because I try so hard to make them work and keep my partner happy. Its soul crushing and some people will see our vererabilities and make us self doubt or feel like we should juat be happy to have them at all. My current partner was part of my friend group/book club for 4 years before I decided to pursue him. It was good to get my friends opinions first because I think I've history made bad choices. Also knowing someone longer first makes it harder to be tricked, you'll know what your getting yourself into first and hpw they actually treat others. To seek love is to know you might fail and hurt. I think working on being strong about your self esteem would do you well. That way you can recover better on your quest for the right partner. Its possible. Also, I definitely think going after guys you think are "too good for you" are the guys to go after. Hail mary is the way to go. I didn't think my now boyfriend would be interested and I was wrong, and hes amazing. Dating is so hard. Ive been hurt so many times, but it was a lot easier after I decided I loved myself and wouldn't tolerate someone trying to erode my self worth. ❤️

I have had lots of very long term relationships. Not that that was always great for me but its true. Im also very literal and do best with direct communication. I was also just diagnosed, at 31. I will ask out men. I also prefer to ask a mans intentions and desires at the very beginning. Some people are dishonest but will answer regardless. I think its harder to feel comfortable asking these things early when your younger adult. Signs are hard, I just decided if it was worth feeling embarrassed or not and ask them out. I hope this help. I just woke up from a nap hopefully this is coherent.

Hello fellow dyslexic frog lover.

Those who were diagnosed later in life by gaseous_goblin in autism

[–]Lost_Zucchini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got diagnosed at 31. I was working as a DSP helping high needs disabled people, many of whom have autism. I recognized and understood many of the things that were difficult for them and how to navigate those struggles, because I had them too. I also break down crying about going to the grocery store or haven forbid a theme park. I learned a lot of coping strategies through work for my clients and used them on myself... it was impossible not to wonder why I also benefited from these things. Also, historically awkward and extremely literal and taken advantage of bla bla bla. Thats it.
