Question for the women: Would you be put off by a guy with a very small social life?

I am in my early 20s and I like this girl that sits next to me in a music class in uni and I asked her out to coffee and she accepted and gave me her instagram. I followed her back and am going to set a date soon.

She is very nice and easy-going and fun to talk to and she seems to have her life well in order. She climbs and hikes and plays banjo and has lots of friends and really seems to do a lot of things. I think she might kinda like me as well.

I am new to the city and have no friends outside of work and a couple bandmates who are in their 50's with kids as old as I am. I am autistic and always found it hard to make friends.

I am not insecure or uncomfortable with myself. I am good at school and am well into a computer science degree. I work long hours as a line cook at an established restaurant. I play many instruments and have been regularly writing and producing my own music since I was 15. I have written probably 50 songs, some that I think are decent. I think I am a hard-working and talented guy, but I feel my lack of a social life really really works against me. I really don't hang out with people outside of work and band rehearsal. Not to mention I am slightly awkward when first meeting new people. I just came out of a long relationship where my girlfriend had to move out of the apartment and it's put perspective on my lonely life. I don't mind having a very small social life, but I think most women will find it very off-putting.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
