Looking for a girlfriend

I know that..but the fact that he wants a gf kind of made me think that he was ready for that..because to get a gf you need to meet and mingle with others...so I assumed..and (I may be wrong) that he is wanting and ready to do that..and is wanting to know where to go and do that..:shrug:
That's true Dana...I did not look at it from that perspective...:wave:

Yeah Christa..:)...I mean he asked us how to find one and where should he look you know?..:shrug:
So..getting out more is really the only way..unless someone sets him up....

I am just trying to give options...:D:wave:

It has been a while since I had to look for someone..:lol:

Another option is to have someone set me up for a blind date or something. But my father and I don't know anyone who could do that.

My friend has been using plenyoffish.com, I think that's it I'll have to double check, and has met several nice guys no one she found to be dating material but friends...why not give that a try? :wave:

There is a world of difference between bipolar disorder and Asperger's Syndrom. I agree with your decision to avoid a relationship that might carry conditions beyond your capabilities. Have you tried to connect with someone through school or church? I think that the internet might not be your best choice. Behaving like a lonely and desperate person will only lead to desperate choices and the resulting disasters that accompany such actions. I would strongly suggest that you exercise patience as you seek to meet someone with whom you can be romantically involved. Best wishes!

I think that about sums it up. This thread could be good for positive wishes and some well-worn suggestions, but that's about it. The rest just has to happen on its own.

I'm currently not in school right now, and when I go to church, it's for service. What could I do in that scenario?

And I am kinda lonesome. Given my conditions, it would take a long time to find someone. I'm already 24 going on 25. I don't know a lot of people who find boy/girlfriends at this age. At this age, they are already relating to each other or even thinking about marriage.

I don't necessarly agree with that because I'm 23, and I'm not dating anyone or thinking about getting married...:shrug:

I turn 24 in a couple of weeks and I'm about as far away from marriage as one can be. I don't have a boyfriend and I rarely date. The majority of my friends are in the same boat.

You're acting like you're SO OLD and your time is running out. You're not and it isn't. While I do have friends around my age who are married, I know a lot more people who didn't get married until they were well into their 30s.

Well, what about family members? Did they start dating in their 30s? Just asking...

I think the point is that it's rather common for people to be single into their 30s and beyond, regardless of how many specific examples she or anyone else can cite.

I'll be 30 in about 18 months and am very much unattached. You really are pretty early in the game. The fact that people your age around you are all dating or talking about marriage just means they're doing so early in the game.

While I have been in numerous long term relationships I am 35 and never married. You just hate to find the right one no matter the age you find it.You will know when the right one comes along.

It sounds to me like you see a relationship as being the one thing that will solve all your problems and bring you nothing but happiness. But it doesn't work that way. First, you have to learn to be happy with yourself. Family, friends, school, work, hobbies, other interests...a full life. Never count on someone else to make you happy. That's up to you. Then, when that special someone comes along, no matter what age or what time in your life it occurs, that relationship will become an extension of an already good life. That relationship will become a part of your life, but it won't be your whole life.

Hey, do your own thing. Don't let family force you into anything.

I'm the only single one in my family, and my group of friends, but I know I can't force it to happen. However it happens it will be worth it. You don't want to just be with anybody to make them happy, what comes first is making yourself happy.:wave:
