I’m demiromantic, I’ve only ever fallen in love once and that was after we were friends for 6 years. I’m worried this won’t happen again…

People think demiromantic is the same as alloromantic, but really we struggle a lot more and it’s really not the same. I just want to feel love, but it rarely ever happens, and only after I’ve built a long lasting friendship. As an autistic person, it’s hard to even start to make friends, so my dating pool is even smaller. I still love the person I did, but she will never love me back and it’s hard to accept that I need to wait so long to find someone else. Life as a demiromantic sucks.
