| I'm glad you worked it out with your friend. Generally speaking, I find that if one friend seems to be reaching out more often, always taking the initiative, it can sometimes be perceived as desperate/creepy/stalkerish. I try to adjust, according to how the other person behaves, so that I'm not alwa... |

| So, this is just a question... but is there any possibility that the way you have been communicating is the problem? I realize you are venting here, but you said you've "been ranting." Literally? There is a guy at my work who rants about everything. Even though he has some good points people just do... |

| ok. I don't know if these are things you feel you could do or not, but here are some ideas: 1) Do you have a computer teacher? tell him or her that you think the school needs a video game club. The teacher should be able to mention it in class and see if there are other students into it. 2) Are you ... |

| Can you spin it better? Like when they ask you your biggest fault, and you're supposed to turn it into a positive. Dunno, maybe something like "I am an introvert and it takes me a while to feel comfortable expressing myself fully in team meetings. At the start of a project I tend to work more one-on... |

| So, maybe the post above is correct and she wants you. But there are other possibilities. Some girls, (insecure girls) thrive on male attention. If you don't give that attention automatically, you become a challenge, and the overtly flirtacious behaviour (throwing a condom on your bed) could be the ... |

| I don't really get the association between her being messy, and her feeling that you make her small. Is the real issue the mess, or how you speak to her? I really enjoy my clutter, but my spouse is a neat freak. So, he cleans. I have offered to pay for a maid but he prefers not to do that. It is a c... |

If there was nothing about possible pedophilia in your message, this would still really really worry me. This is not normal and not ok. At all. It isn't something you should just step over... |

| "Charming" isn't the same as genuinely "nice." Charm involves saying things to flatter people and appeal to them emotionally, even if you don't mean it. Charm is often flaky and superficial. Think of a magic charm - a magician uses tricks to "charm" his audience. Some NT women are fooled by it. Oth... |

Hi,
Could you give a specific example of something she is doing that you don't like, how you tried to deal with it, and what happened? |

Ok.
If you feel like posting some examples where the communication at your work hasn't gone smoothly, perhaps the people here can give you suggestions. |

| @Ana6 what brought you to this site if you don't mind me asking. Hi Delphiki. I had an idea recently for a one-act play to enter in my local fringe festival next year. It involves an NT and someone with aspergers starting a relationship. I am here to learn and because I want my characters to be aut... |

| Since you work together, my suggestion would be to try to figure out if Jane is interested in you before you ask her on a date. NTs do this little dance, rather than just being direct, to avoid embarrassment and bad feelings. For starters: Are you and Jane friends outside of work, or are you strictl... |
