Sit Rep: I met a very nice guy on Scruff. We've hooked up 6 times and we're planning to have a sleepover at his place on Saturday.
Am I the only person who has had no luck on Grindr?
- Thread starter proscan
- Start date
It's been a year since anyone reply on that thread, but I'm still gonna try,
I don't plan on dating now as my social anxiety is through the roof, I barely can put a foot outside without feeling sick and in danger.
But I'm still gonna date in the future, so might as well ask now.
What app do you guys think is most suitable for someone with autism, who is pretty fragile emotionally, if any at all ?
My other question is how do you make your profiles, I have never been in a relationship, never kissed or had sex, I assume you don't put that in, as it sounds desperate, but then how do you find someone who doesn't expect you already know how to do those things

I'm not sure what to tell you, except to be cautious with your heart on the apps. People are ruthless about blocking, ghosting and all that. There is also an expectation and shorthand to using them, which I can think is a learning curve for non-autistic people as well. I want to be encouraging but also realistic. One thing Grindr has going for it is it's more conducive to long-form chatting than, say, Squirt. So you can have a more normal-type conversation (like texting) if that's of interest to both people.
Maybe Tinder is a good option? I'm not familiar with it personally, but it strikes me as more designed for dating and more "gentle" than the gay-only apps.

Your situation might definitely make things difficult but not impossible. Unfortunately, there is a lot of rudeness, ghosting and blocking and not to mention there are some idiots that would try to treat you like trash. So, please be careful with your heart and don´t let them get to you.
Believe me, you will find also great and kind people, don´t give up if you find the idiots first.
In your profile, I´ll recommend to be honest about what you want (friendship, relationship, chatting or whatever you are interested on), that way you would find people with same interests. I think Bumble would be good option.
Feel free to DM me if it makes you feel more comfortable.
