how do you handle being smarter than your date?

Relationships/Friends/Dating

I always struggled with this when it came to boys.

On one hand, I'm just masking and then i become myself then i recognize i might like a guy but then its getting to know him and not feeling anything for him at all...

I've recognized sometimes when I was in toxic relationships with a guy, but the last one really broke me.

I've always matched very well with autistic men since they understood me better and I only knew perhaps one Asperger male in my life, yet he never connected the dots of his toxic friend so it never went well when we had a fall out.

I've been talking to this new guy after healing and he is going to be my Valentine's day date when we reserve a date together to meet up after matching and he is the most sweetest, smartest guy ever and autistic, but that's the issue...

Regardless of the guy, i'm now aware that women are naturally more mature to men and its not different if you're on the spectrum and why it's so hard.

I had gaven him some tips here and there, but i'm hoping to not edge on this since its something i can not help but control to not get a big head on the fact that I was diagnosed with Asperger's and brain that understands things easily, despite the clear challenges of autism.

I want to be a damsel without having to be on survival mode or struggle with my attraction and this guy means everything to me in a long time where it wasn't allistical men making me making me question or feel robbed of something or even confusing what we are as friends or supporters or forced into something.... ODD?!?

I like this guy and he means so much to me and i want to work with him as he wants to work with me too and we are both so capable together :'))
