I am a 24 year old woman with a learning disability. What can I do in order to have a strong long-term relationship with one guy? I've never known any guys with them, so I don't know anyone with them. I don't need a guy with mental health issues. Further, I don't want a guy who is too fast at dating or says he really likes you. likes you. That already seems like a big red flag and I blocked him. As for other guys I can find, I'm not thinking about them, and I'm also being rejected from the friends zone by two guys. He stated that over a text message via Whatsapp after I said I was looking for a slow, respectful, and decont guy. I wanted to be in a relationship with him, but not too fast. I am not interested in moving fast, so I blocked him." I am only looking for a real good guy, and nothing else will come in my way. I like nerds, gamers, and people of average height. I get very uncomfortable around tall men who I'm not interested in. What can I do to improve my chances of finding a long-term relationship? I have good looks. I try to make friends. I haven't been able to make friends with girls since I had some difficult experiences with women in college.

    I think you are already making positive steps towards finding a long-term relationship @Splatmate24. Not least because you are able to recognise what you do and do not want from a relationship which increases the odds of making it long-term when you find one. Hopefully, you'll find the right one for you soon, when the time is right :)
