Why are you doing this?

It’s hard being an adult with virtually no dating experience. It’s even harder when you have no idea how to behave in social settings. When I first starting dating online, it became obvious that I was the one getting it wrong and I kept messing up. I decided that if I was to keep going, I needed an incentive, and that incentive is you. If nothing else, I want to help other people like myself, Autistic or otherwise, to figure out what to do (or in my case what NOT to do!). Maybe if I get it wrong enough times then between us we might figure out how to get it right.

Isn’t it hard to be so open with the world?

I used to never speak about anything personal with anyone. I was so ashamed of myself for not understanding what everyone else found so simple that I stayed silent and allowed my internal monologue to take over. That lead me to a lot of dark places and a shame spiral that took over everything. Since leaving my ex husband, I’ve learned not to be ashamed of who and what I am but in classic ‘me-style’ I can share a bit too much sometimes. So if anything, it’s harder for me to stop oversharing!

Do you ever actually find the one?

Now that would be telling! Let’s just say I get through a lot of interesting people and each experience adds to my repertoire of understanding the male species, so there is an increasing chance with each date, in theory!

How often do you release your blog entries?

Blog entries are released when I have been on enough dates to be interesting. Sign up to my mailing list to be alerted each time blogs are released.

Can we share your blog/website on social media?

Go for it! Feel free to share far and wide - the sharing options for socials are all at the bottom of the page, but please be nice - don’t steal my work! :)
