Do some guys only have 1 chance to get it right with dating?

I just feel like I have too many things going against me to experience success in dating I’m on the autism spectrum, I have ocd, anxiety, ptsd. Like i recently came out of a relationship some questions I had posted on here but I started thinking that had to be my best opportunity because that was when I was 29 I’m now 32 still autistic worse ocd, worse anxiety like overall worse mental health also no previous dating history she was the only one and my form of autism works greatly against social skills I’m not good at carrying conversations or approaching

It is tough for you. But I would not give up now. Or ever.

Like I feel like I lost my best chance

I know it feels that way, but you are still young and there will be other chances

Ay yo, don't be so down on yourself man. Dating can be tough for sure, but don't think you only get one shot because of stuff like autism or mental health issues.

Yeah, those things may present some extra challenges compared to neurotypical dudes, No doubt. Social skills take practice and that first relationship was valuable experience.

But you're still young as hell - tons of time to put yourself out there. And dudes overcome way more than you think to find someone every day.

Focus on what you can control - workin' on conversation skills through classes or online resources. Practicing small talk whenever you can. And keep putting yourself in social situations through hobbies, even if it's scary.

Props to you for tryna improve too, that shows self-awareness and growth. Don't sell yourself short yet - stay positive and be proud of how far you've come.

One day soon you're gonna meet someone who gets you, and you'll be so glad you kept at it. You got this bro, just keep your head high!
