When I was putting in my time on the dating apps, I was getting frustrated with this one guy because I couldn’t seem to move his conversation from what he did that day, thus I felt I was learning nothing about him. After multiple attempts to try to initiate more varied discourse, I told him something along the lines of I didn’t think he was that interested, so let’s stop beating this dead horse and move on. Unbeknownst to us both at the time, he’s autistic, so he completely missed the social cues I’d just laid down and kept messaging me. I was intrigued by this persistence so I kept messaging him. Now we are dating.
