| 3. If I were to confront him with the "Where do I stand?" kind of conversation, what would be the best way to approach it without freaking him out?

| Honestly this guy sounds exactly like me, this is basically how I behave in every relationship in my life. Whether he really likes you or not, he probably doesn't know how to act.

| I have some questions for whatamess's husband. I don't really go for small talk, I don't see the point, I want deep and meaningful. So if we at least manage to get to the stage of talking to a girl, what things might I ask her to open up the conversation into something a bit deeper? The other one is... |

| I had "tics" for quite a while, I still do but not so severe and I can control it when I need to. A psychiatrist diagnosed me with turret's, but a psychologist later diagnosed me with aspergers. The psychologist said the tics were due to anxiety which was due to my poor social situation (bullying et... |
