I Feel Like I Blundered My Dating Life And That It Is Too Late?
25 years old diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder when I was little. I was treated like crap due to my disability in elementary school through college and am trying get my life back together after I quit my video game addiction this year.
I do live on my own and have a job that requires a college degree, and I take care of myself - I work out at the gym a lot, at least 2 to 3 times a week. I'm not necessarily the best-looking person but I'm not ugly.
I want someone to care about and have romantic feelings for, not something. My main issue is that I really don't talk to people unless I relate to them, however. I can relate to people better than I can to animals/objects. I'm not too socially awkward, but I am a bit shy due to my past and I am horrible at recognizing flirting signs. I have been on a few dates before due to online dating, but they didn't work out well.
I'm straight by the way.
Any advice? Thoughts?

People with an ASD have their own challenges in relating to others but seriously, what you've described is also common in people without autism. Just read Yahoo answers and you'll see how many people are shy or need dating advice or feel like they will never meet anyone. True, many of them are teenagers, but that's because the ones in their twenties tend to ask for dating advice from friends instead of online whereas teenagers don't want their friends to know.
I don't think you should make your disability a handicap. Just take a chance and open up. The right woman will come along. BTW, I agree with Nishant. Nothing is impossible for God. You can't give what you don't have and accepting God's love is the most wonderful feeling in the world.
