So, FLgirlwonders, whatever happened with you and the guy you posted about?
I ended up getting involved again with the guy with Asperger's I'd mentioned, and it ended again. Just curious whether your situation fared any better  |

| If someone is logical and good at "math" or physics or whatever, why can't they understand the same principles apply? Meaning, if a set of conditions applies in one situation, then it is likely (especially given evidence to support this) that the same set of conditions will apply to another situati... |

| @CrinklyCrustacean - a key difference between what you describe about yourself and the person I know is you want to understand, and are trying, rather than simply lashing out at your roommates. The point about "validating" their needs is profound. The guy I was involved with kept saying "I am not me... |

| Boston - thanks for your post. I really purged a lot here, knowing it was possible someone might take pot shots at what I said, but did so because I wanted *you*---and anyone in the future who googles "apergers and relationships" and lands in this community (as I did)---to hear this story, in case i... |

| He's not a touring musician, is he? it is uncanny how similar this sounds. I'm so glad I subscribed to this thread. I had forgotten about this forum, and that I'd posted. Well, my epilogue is we did go back into GF/BF mode right after New Year's, 2012. We had broken up the last week of October 2011.... |

| Here's my question for you -- did you have sex with him after hanging out with him and his friends? If not, it seems like he honestly likes to have you around, and to hang with you, He definitely likes you as a person. If you did have sex with him, my next question is--- regardless of what his "deal... |

| FLgirlwonders...hm. I wonder whether there's a forum for people who don't have Asperger's to discuss love/dating issues re: people with Aspergers. I wonder because I posted to a thread on this wrongplanet forum last week -- the original poster's thread title was something about boyfriend of 6 months... |

| to the OP and limeginger...have either of you found a support site for Neurotypicals that help family members who are struggling to share their life with somebody who has AS? I'm in a similar boat to y'all, only my musician is married to me so we don't have that whole breaking up option as readily ... |

| Besides, not every guy who doesn't know how to show love is autistic/aspies. But since you're probably certain that he has asperger,ok fine, let's say he's aspie..... yet you are not wanting to tolerate his aspie quirks? It seemed to me the OP's anguish (and mine) is figuring out whether the guy we... |

| So, what happened...? I'm trying to make sense of a similar conundrum. even down to his being a traveling musician. Fortunately we're a decade older than you, so at least it's not the same dude. The point for me isn't having to speak every day, it's knowing whether lapses in communication and withdr... |
