| Yes I agree that I should meet him. Last week I was told a few of our long time online friends are driving up to my city for an event this coming Saturday and I asked if he'd like to go with them to meet up with me. His reply was "I wasn't formally invited and well it's too sudden". I asked him anot... |

| hi everyone I'm sorry I've been away for so long. My grandpa passed away a week before mother's day and it's been a rough month for me. Over the past few weeks I've learned that acceptance of a love one's passing is a gradual process that may take years to fully recover from, but I believe things ar... |

I currently have a family emergency to attend to, but hopefully I will have more time to read and respond to your post next week. Again, I really appreciate the help you guys have given me. We did talked last night, I was pre... |

| I would agree that friendship is the basis for romantic love. At least, that is true for me. It may not be true for all Aspies. It is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition. I can't imagine being in love with someone WITHOUT having developed a friendship with that person either before dating, o... |

| Based on experience, I personally don't believe in the love over the internet. I see it as illusion developed in mind that may turn to something true but mostly won't. Believe it or not I held the same belief for a long time. But try as I might, I can't help but feel the feelings I have for him. Ox... |

| Concerning the age difference, many people on the spectrum have a hard time dealing with people that match their age, and have an easier time with someone younger or older. So it might actually be a good thing. Although I would love to think that all is well, and that he won't mind me being 9 years... |

| For the record, I'm 31 and he's 12. Just kidding, he's 22. Sounds better already, doesn't it? :P My friend didn't seem to think that a 9 year difference was a big deal at all as we're all adults etc. I pointed out that it's usually an older guy and younger girl that's very common due to girls matur... |

| Maybe he is trying to express he does like you, but he's not ready to be in a relationship so would prefer to get to know you better and isn't sure exactly where it will go...have you ever met them in person or just online so far? I could be wrong but that's one idea that comes to mind. I recently ... |

| None of us, autistic or not, should ever be forced to draw that line in the sand. Love is the diametric opposite of differentiation. I see where you're coming from. What I want to get across though is the way neurotypicals see love, there is a distinction between love for a friend versus love for s... |

| Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and would like to ask for some help on figuring out a few things regarding an aspie guy I started developing romantic feeling for. About a year ago I got out of an emotionally abusive long term relationship with a man I've been with for over a decade. I was dep... |
