Tim,

I've been expecting this for a while - in fact I was surprised by how long it took.

The problem isn't really one of timing or distance. I don't think it ever really was.

I know that you're very keen on this particular girl but I don't think she's so keen on you. She hasn't treated you well at all and she's basically running around closing doors on you.

I think that to stay "attached" to this girl for much longer would be hazardous to your long-term health. Also, to try and find another girl who is similar would be a bad move too.

Personally, I think you might be best off taking a few risks and meeting up with an NT for a while.

You've got what it takes - so give it a shot.

I was hoping that she would get a job near me after she graduated, or at least be flexible as far as the distance went. This is my fault for going for the wrong school.

If she didn't want to be my friend or girlfriend, then why did she even agree to meet me in person a few times?

Hey Tim,

I'm not sure you're aware of it, but I figure you and me have been friends for a long time.

I'm definitely not an expert on romantic relationships, but it's been my experience that when things head south, they keep going in that direction. Real life ain't always like the movies. My opinion about romantic relationships ain't worth much though, so don't pay much attention.

Something ain't been mentioned here, and I don't know why. I saw a few mental health industry types over the years, some of them quite a few times with the same individuals. It never occurred to any of them that I was this thing called an aspie.

Not like it's subtle. Guy has no friends, gets no respect from anybody, nobody who interviews him wants to hire him, and he's constantly talking about Chinese poetry and the Pleistocene extinctions and a bunch of other topics nobody else ever heard of, much less been interested in.

So I think it's likely that maybe 90 percent of the aspies out there never even heard of asperger's syndrome. That number's probably higher with aspie females, since there's a bigger difference between aspie behavior and what's expected of a male, so asperger's is probably even less outwardly conspicuous in females.

If you're limiting your search to aspie females who know they're aspies, it's certain that you're overlooking most of the possibilities.

Hey partner, you only need to find one.

You don't understand. She was also goal-oriented, and college educated. She wasn't one of those people who just sits at home and plays video games all day.

Take a step back and take a clear look.

Even normal people get obsessed about love, so it's probably gonna be even more so for an aspie. And an aspie usually doesn't have the option of just turning around and starting up a relationship with somebody else.

It's rough and it hurts. No denying that.

Tim I enjoy our friendship we have had on myspace as well as WP. I think WP is a good website for aspies but not everyone I guess it is ultimately your choice.

I met the person I am talking about on WP, and I feel that it would be too upsetting to be on here anymore.

Nope, it's an honest question about why doesn't he go to Seattle.

The cost of living has gone up, and I wouldn't be able to afford it.

Because she said she couldn't do anything long-distance, and I felt like I had to be close to her.
