Following my use of body language and attempts to approach men without success, what do you suggest?

Splatmate24

I have tried being direct with using body language and also done approaching men directly but hasn't been successful. I been rejected when i had approach some men and i do direct body language and men still hasn't approach me even i give green light signal with smiling, blinking, touching my hairs and still hasn't had any success with getting into a new relationship and i had tried online dating too and hasn't be successful at all and yep i also done real life social events that are not many in my towns for people with a learning disabilities has to go into city centre and they not much but apart from pubs, disco and raving that is only type of social events for learning disabilities are at the moment. Nothing with common interest with me. They don't seem to do social events that I like. What can i do to get be more successful when comes to finding serious men and i can only date men with a learning disabilities thanks to my mum putting in very strict rules when comes to only me dating men with a learning disabilities only.

Hi sorry you still haven’t found that special one.
I definitely think if you stop looking it might just happen.

Good luck 😊

I think just if you stop looking altogether it’ll happen when you least expect it. It’s  just a suggestion.

I'm having problems with dating nurotypical people, they just don't understand me and eventually break my heart or go off me and leave me. I want to date someone similar to me too and is nurodiverse but I don't know where to look. I have tried some dating sites but they are full of bots and expensive for a subscription.

So you are not alone in the struggle.

I have autism, ADHD, RSD, Schizophrenia and Bad crohn's disease. I struggle really hard to keep relationships as each time the other person just doesn't understand me and eventually breaks up with me. but I have only dated people who are nurotypical and don't know whats it like to have autism or an learning disability. I need to find a girl who understands me and my conditions and doesn't put me down or takes advantage of me. With my RSD I really have a problem with self esteem and I'm a big people pleaser so will never ever leave a person (they normally leave me).

I just don't know where to look for someone with similar things to myself or someone who will understand me and not judge me

Hello @Splatmate24

I see the community have been helping with different suggestions!

Can I ask, out of the box idea, have you ever thought about asking the GP to refer you to a therapist? A lot of people assume therapy is for mental health struggles like anxiety and depression, but therapy is actually a tool that can help us see different approaches to problems. 

In my experience, I had therapy because of anxiety over my health issues. But once I had more of a grasp on that, therapy helped me talk through solutions to other non-mental health problems I was having. I also think having someone 1 to 1 to chat with would help with going through everything you have done and how it panned out to get some structure.
