>be me
>download tinder
>don't expect anything, mainly just installing it to pass time by swiping on qts
>end up getting a few matches here and there, most just being 5/10s or lower
>any attempt to start up a conversation is either ignored or just awkward small talk that goes no where and I end up getting ghosted when I try to set a meetup
>getting bored of the app and getting ready to uninstall
>decide to go on one last mass swiping escapade
>end up matching with a 8/10 qt to my surprise
>suspect she swiped right on my by accident, but decide to humor myself anyways and send her a message
>"hey"
>she replies almost immediately, striking up conversation and asking me about things I had listed on my profile
>we end up actually making decent conversation and we found out that we have a lot in common
>even our personalities and life experiences are similar, for the first time in my life I feel like i've found someone who I can actually connect to in some way. not only that, but it's an attractive woman who's interested in me as well
>eventually I take initiative and ask her out on a date to a restaurant that weekend that would be at about the halfway point between us (we lived 4 hours apart)
>she agrees, and we continue talking for the next few days until the day of the date finally comes
>start getting nervous about meeting her in person, mummy helps me get dressed in some non-autist clothes, and dad starts giving me the talk about becoming a man now (i'm 26)
>it's time to make the 2 hour drive
>autism starts to become overwhelming, decide that I can't do it
>end up staying home and playing vidya all night instead
>my phone is blowing up nonstop throughout the night from the girl texting me every 5 minutes asking where I am, eventually she says that she bought dinner for herself and that she forgives me for not showing up, she says that she knows that I'm a shy person and that I might have gotten the jitters and that it's nothing personal
