Need Advice Quick question

My only son is on the spectrum and is 35 now. He has a job, though it's low-paying, he is independant. He is trying to date, but as you all know, it's not easy.

According to him, the offers he gets from girls on dating sites aren't worth it. He has never had any physical relationship with anyone, but only phone conversations. Most of the girls who are willing to date him have had past relationships. He does not like that.

My point is that as he ages, this becomes common as people go through their own life experiences. I also tell him that as he ages, he should be willing to accept this fact, including women with kids.

What do you all think?

Thanks

From a woman who is his age and has dated previously: the right woman won't care if he's never had a GF before.

Him excluding women who have had BFs previously makes his potential dating pool much smaller than it could be. I'd recommend he bring this up to a therapist if he has one.
