I still avoid online dating no matter what. Also, I don't take dick picks. Not that I have any dms that would solicit that anyway, but I also just don't do that. There was a major breach for one of the popular dating platforms recently and similar to that, some dude in OZ land setup an evil twin WiFi at airport and managed to grab a bunch of naked photos from people's online activity. Just don't do it guys. It's not worth it. Just go somewhere ffs and bang someone.
I'd rather get something like this instead of seeing it die off slowly and then not getting a straight answer or getting blindsided. Just rip the bandaid off—be honest about what's going on. If you can't learn to handle these situations and handle your emotions in a reasonable manner, then maybe you shouldn't be dating yet...
Ok, that statement aside, I actually don't know if for me this is due to ADHD or autism. I'm still undiagnosed for both but I always thought this was my autism thing. For me, I'm the person that can't see the big picture. I like doing the work because it's the smaller pieces that usually have a clear objective. I don't understand things like "aligning with the mission" or the wacko lingo 'cause I can't see it. It's kind of like mental math for me. I can't do it. I struggle imagining the numbers in my head—like how I can't collage together everything needed for a successful project. Sometimes out of nowhere I'll get a eureka moment but I for the life of me can never be a project manager.
Ok, but look at all the other comments besides mine. They're getting all antsy about it.
