I'm looking for advice. After a long relationship (almost 20 years) which I now know had elements of emotianal abuse right from the start, but which I ended about 9 months ago when the abuse escalated, I have just started dating again.
I'm struggling with the rules of how to date (I'm not a teenager any more like the last time I was dating). I've met someone I like, we have been on a few dates and agreed to meet up again soon. The problem that I have is that I have asperger's and so I find reading body language very hard - so I have no idea if my date is into me or not, I miss signs of flirting, I'm usually a bit over-direct and I don't really know how to show how I feel. I also can't work out how often to text between dates, or even if I should...
Any general dating tips would be great. Also, should I say something about the asperger's?
Finding time to meet up is also hard because I'm a single parent. I don't want to seem unavailable, but week nights are essentially impossible for me to go out, and I only have EOW to myself.
Has anyone else been in this position and have any advice?
