Season 3 of Love on the Spectrum, which premiered on April 2, 2025, featured a group of individuals on the autism spectrum, exploring relationships and romantic connections in hopes of finding their perfect match. One among the cast members was 36-year-old James from Boston, who first appeared on season 2 of the show. However, after failing to find love, he returned to give it another try.
While speaking to the cameras in episode 1, James introduced himself, saying:
"Yes, like the villain in a horror movie, I just keep coming back."
The Love on the Spectrum star, who lived with his parents, June and Lawrence, said he returned because his "quest," his "search" to find love had not yet reached its conclusion. James confessed that he was not fond of his single life but had learned to handle it better with time. However, he said it was "very nice" to have women sliding into his DMs since his appearance on the show.

James was confident he would not date someone with children or with pets in case they were "poorly trained" or "poorly disciplined." He also never hesitated to express his opinions on gender roles, wondering what made brides "so special" that they could be the center of attention on their wedding day.

What happened during James' speed dating event on Love on the Spectrum season 3 episode 1?
James's first date was with Jackie, which started well but hit a rough patch after she revealed she had two dogs. He then asked his date if she had any children and was relieved to hear she did not. Although she had pets, James liked Jackie and hoped she would not want to get more after her first ones died.
The Love on the Spectrum alum's second date was with Mikaela. When she asked James if he had any "dating deal breakers," he said:
"I know I cannot handle being a parent. I know I don't have the patience to be a parent, you know, so that's a pretty big thing."
However, Mikaela wanted to have a family. His next date was with June. James kept yawning during the date and struggled to come up with topics to discuss. He later stated that he did not want to be in a relationship with her because she shared his mother's name.
His last date was with Erika, who not only liked dogs but also wanted to have children. Meanwhile, he believed they could practice self-defense together since Erika knew jujitsu and he knew karate.
Although James liked Erika and Jackie, he failed to get any matches from the speed dating event. James then met Sonia in episode 3, who was interested in him and thought he was "awesome." However, James decided not to go on a second date with her because he could not feel a spark.
By the end of the series, James found his match in Shelley and officialized their relationship by becoming girlfriend and boyfriend.
