I'm happy because I found someone...

[Rizen]

On a dating website who was willing to give me her phone number so we can text. I'm autistic and dating is very hard for me. I like her very much, she a biologist and a writer who's brilliant. I'm attracted to intelligence. You may remember my post from a few months ago about my break up. So I though I'd post here about something finally working out.

3. I gave up on more "beautiful" women for the intelligent one I married 53 years ago...

We're still a happy couple.

Beauty fades, intelligence preservers.

I always say the most important thing is to find someone you enjoy and have fun with, it’s the thing that matters most in the long run.

14. Wishing you the best

Finding a suitable partner is a difficult but worthwhile task.

I did better than I deserve. I met my husband Jose in ‘96, we soon moved in together. In 2014 when the Supremes made it “official”, we got married. Still together, growing old together.

COVID has totally messed up the dating thing. I so look forward to being able to safely socialize, and am infuriated by the vax deniers that keep this from happening.

15. Good for you. With any luck she'll have a toe dipped in the spectrum, too

and it happens a lot more than you think it odes, autistic women were missed for decades because it is expressed so differently in women. Now they're starting to realize the ratio is close to 1:1. So your chances of finding someone on your own wavelength are better than people used to think they were.
