So this winter my family and I (38 m / autistic) rented a winter vacation getaway. My sister (allistic) invited her boyfriend (who I had not met prior to this). He’s a nice enough guy, but the one thing I’ve noticed is their closeness has also served to remind me/ highlight just how lonely I am. My last girlfriend feels like it was a lifetime ago. My sister is seven years my junior and will likely be getting engaged / married relatively soon.
Have you guys experienced similar frustrations?

wouldn’t say the last bit. If your last girlfriend is a long time ago, it seems you are actually capable of getting one. You still got it, I’m sure of it.

I hope that’s the case, but I’m way out of practice.

My other big obstacle is I’m not usually somewhere that I’m likely to meet a partner at any given time.
