Still a better love story than twilight

I dont really like that I really wish it was me, damn I really need to meet people
- go out and try. just earlier today I said the stupidest oneliner in person and got a response.
  you miss a 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky or somebody
  then I spoke to someone on a busy commuter train, and learned something new. a view I had never considered before.
  I know it's hard,as someone who has personally suffered from exclusion and depression before.
  but worst they can do is ignore you or spit in your face.
  
  That's all very true but I do like a girl right now, she lives on another continent though

That's a similar experience to how I met my partner. We never really talked about it, she was just there now.

Yeah thats an autistic goth woman. They're magnificent

??? Never left??? Please go on

This is my dating strategy, just exist and hope one day some alt girl just decides were dating now.
- As much as I don't want to go back into the office I must admit I never meet people anymore. I don't know how I would meet anyone new if I ever needed to.
  My partner is literally the girl that I sat next to in the office seating plan 10 years ago.
- Yes, I am indeed this introverted

I'm not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.
- If you meet a vaguely autistic hottie who is into you, under no circumstances fumble. I don't usually feel qualified to take my unsolicited life advice that seriously, but I mean it this time.
  
  Instructions unclear, my autism radar isn't calibrated
- Sorry to hear about your small head.
- Yes, BUT I unfortunately can't stand the cigarette stench.
  
  Switch 'em to vapes (and perhaps a MAO inhibitor), gonna be worth it...

Definitely Fae if she lives on black licorice, that thing is absolutely not meant for humans
- Shit, in the netherlands we basically live off of that stuff. The per capita consumption is two kilograms, which puts ut at the tol of the list of global consumption.
  Every supermarket pretty much has an aisle dedicated to licorice in all forms. Sweet, salty, spicy, soft, hard, dipped in chocolate… you name it.
  I’m amazed some people don’t like it. Though I’ll concede I’ve obviously grown up eating it since before I could talk.

  So... how hard is it to visit these legendary isles, I mean... country...?
- Licorice is wonderful. When I was a little kid, half the reason Halloween was my favorite holiday was because there were packs of only orange and black jellybeans, the only good flavors.
  Panda licorice now, it's amazing. At our airport there is an all licorice vending machine, all different kinds but of course since it's in an airport it's expensive.
  
  I know there's like a billion jellybean flavors but if the orange one you speak of is also orange fruit flavor, it ranks low on my list. Unlike licorice though, it's edible.
  Adds RBWellls to the Lemmy Fae user list *
- Salmiak is life.
- Avoids sunlight, literal-minded, and hisses at strange women?
  I'm not trying to be mean, but she's probably on the autism spectrum. My girlfriend has it and this is her to a T.
  
  There's nothing saying being Fae and autistic are mutually exclusive conditions
- Black licorice is S tier, especially the good and plenty variety
  
  S tier
  Only if it's salmiakki
  
  I’m all about the Australian soft kind myself
  
  Sure... I'm proud of my comment, I'm now making a list of all the Fae users of Lemmy. You guys can't trick me now!
  
  Good & Plenty is fine but too sweet. Salmiakki is god tier!
- Either that or Danish. They love that stuff over there for some reason
  
  Norwegian here. The Danes licquorice consumption does not impress.
  The Finns, however... Scary people.
  
  Don't forget the Dutch. 😉
  
  Ladkris mmmm
- I love black licorice 🖤
  I'm not entirely sure what Fae is (I'm guessing a fairy?) but I'm from a magical land called New Jersey so I'm pretty sure I'm human
  
  Fae are like, earth spirits. Not exactly malevolent, but tricksterish, deceptive and vengeful. Not to be trusted. Never eat their food or play their games. Don't fuck with their animals or their homes or they'll gaslight you to death
  
  Fae depending on which lore you refer to (usually) means like an umbrella term that includes fairies and any other being that is magical and aligned with nature (but not a beast; dragons aren't Fae for example)
  
  Jersey is best state. Can't stand black licorice, but my mom and much of our family love it, so I'll accept it. But Jersey is best state, it bears repeating.
- Dutch double salted liquorice. Delightful.
  
  Gimme dem DZ Drops

This is my dream girl.
Of course I'm not a Chad with a huge melon.
- Damn 5heads, taking up all the possible fae.

I have zero game and no clue when it comes to signals.
I need this kind of woman, one that will be forward me.
- "Game" doesn't exist. Clean yourself, be respectful of others, talk to people. That's the entire game.
  You just lost the game btw, but that's to another point
  
  FUCK
  
  Game exists, its a skill though and you can learn it by trying. Just requires the courage to try, fail, and try again. That said its really just charisma, and you can learn it by learning to non-flirtatiously chat people up.

  Fucker
  
  My 'game' issue is I kind of break down when I speak to a girl I am interested in.
  I get so nervous and overthink that I stop functioning. I run out of things to say and the conversation just doesn't flow. I put way too much pressure on myself and it is extremely difficult to break out of it.
  But if I speak to girls I am not interested in, then I am more myself. No pressure, not trying hard.
  
  Yes there is. I knew a guy who was mostly an asshole, didn't look after himself, but could always pull hotties. Relationships didn't last though, so there's some balance in the world.
  
  Bruh I literally haven't lost the game in years.
- Exactly. Mine is basically like this, I was very lucky that we found each other. Most things are literal between us. Faes exist, you'll find yours

Same energy as an unhoused cat choosing its new home.

Congrats bro.... happy for you....
- what are those three things behind the dude? windows? hanging picture frames? I don't understand what the two angled lines are on the tops of them if they are either of those things.
  
  They look like japanese funeral portraits

This is my partner, minus the goth (her thing was hip-hop).
I wonder just how many times people on the spectrum were looked at as "Fae".
- I've definitely seen claims that the idea of "a far stole my baby and replaced it with a changeling" could have been caused by ASD.
- I read a long time ago some esoteric bullshit book and the author literally described people on the spectrum as fae changelings.
