| You really are completely focusing on trying to understand what's wrong, trying to improve yourself. Well, maybe the focus on improving yourself IS what's wrong. First, you have to realize that there's nothing wrong with you (aside from AS, which is not wrong per se, but does make it more difficult)... |

| I'd text her "If you don't want to, I won't ask you again.". That way, if she doesn't want to, she won't answer, if she wants to, she will want to reschedule. This is a great case study (I hope you aren't offended by that). I think you're trying to understand things with logic. Dating isn't about lo... |

No, it's not like that. Actually I have no interest in her (she's too young for me), and it's very likely that we never see each other again.
I was just curious to know if she was interested or not, and what should you do when someone looks at you that way. |

| Sorry to bring this thread up after four years (bear with me, I'm new), but I wanted to ask this question myself. Recently I was in my tennis class and a girl who was watching wouldn't stop staring me! She was sitting in that tall chair in the middle and when I was switching fields I noticed her loo... |

| If you have been in therapy and still can't figure out what to say, I say get a new therapist. A good therapist will ask you the right questions, never let the conversation run out and give you something new to learn in each session. It feels good and relaxing to let him/her take control of the conv... |

| Man, I have totally been there. I even said to my GF once that I couldn't tell if I loved her for being who she was, or just because she was the person I was with. That's a terrible thing to say. Luckily she forgave me that one. It's important that you assure her that you love her, even if you can't... |

| This is funny. I absolutely HATE wearing sunglasses. Maybe because I never know when to put them on, when to take them off, where to keep them while there off, etc. etc. I understand the advantages of wearing them, because no one can see where you're looking at, but, as it's been said here on WP, in... |

| I believe everyone is destined to be with someone, except the ones that don't really want to. And based on what you said, I think is not a matter of wanting to be with someone, it's a matter of knowing how to. Personally, when I was in high school I had my share of social problems, I didn't date at ... |

| Hello everyone. My name is João Paulo, I'm Portuguese and 34 years old. I've been in therapy for almost a year, but my therapist says I don't have AS. I am definitely within the autism spectrum, but I can look him in the eyes and such. Still, a lot of AS symptoms are very familiar to me: socially re... |
