MILFORD, MASSACHUSETTS: 'Love On the Spectrum' star James B Jones was seemingly not in a relationship with anyone. However, he never lost hope in love and joined the Netflix dating show again for the second time charm despite previously being 'friend-zoned'.

In the latest season of the Netflix show, James documented his journey as he learned to 'navigate the world of dating and relationships.' He was expected to meet new people and go on some romantic dates, but viewers had to wait to know if he found his true love on the show or not.

However, James previously appeared in the debut season of the autism spectrum show hoping to find a true life partner. During Season 1, he met Emma and went on fun dates, hoping to progress into romantic partners.

Sadly, James was left disappointed after Emma wanted them to be just friends. Despite the heartbreak, James remained hopeful and continued his search for love, trying both online and in-person methods to find a perfect partner, as finding love was important to him.
