Happy Valentines day

Post Reply New Topic

I have some acquaintances from online world that I use to send Valentines greetings to as internet "friends" but they seem to always message me for some short, uncomfortable conversation, so this year I have just posted a generic Valentines greeting on FB to avoid that situation. Probably this will cost me any contact from these people, even though during the course of a year we only communicate a few times. It is still extremely uncomfortable to me.

I am kinda embarrassed to admit to the fact that I don't understand the relationship. I have seen people in youtube videos talking about people with Aspergers having problems understanding those boundaries, and I am one of those kind of persons. As the song goes..."making love, out of nothing at all". Of course, none of these people have an inkling about Aspergers, and when I try to explain it to people, even if I direct them to links, they behave as if I am speaking intergalactic blah-blah. Only my Mother at least pretends to have tried to read up on Aspergers since I was diagnosed.

So, today is very uncomfortable to me.

Happy Valentines Day, to you, as well.

I am not sure that I get the gist of your post, in it's entirety, but I do know that, for many people, Valentines day can be difficult. I haven't had a valentine in a few years. I got to the point where I became content with the fact, that I will more than likely not have another relationship, again, in my lifetime and, in turn, no Valentine(s). I had rarely thought about it, after a while, in fact. Yet, for some reason, in the past few months, I have been hopeful to find love, or for love to find me once, again. A couple of months, ago, I began to put myself out there, so to speak. What I came up with was one date with a pretty jerky guy, 2 new friends on WP, that I quite like, yet, live on the other side of the world, as well as a few nice people that I have corresponded with on line (no dating sites for me, however) through social networking, but have sort of gone nowhere, really.

I have never been into Valentines Day, personally. I have nothing against it, and I think it is nice for those who enjoy it. I have always utilized it as a means to give my Son extra love, via homemade cakes, cookies and candies that he enjoys, and particularly, now that he is off at college. My heart is overflowing with love to give, as I have not had anyone to share it with, in a few years, and throughout the past several months, I have crossed paths with various people, who have been quite down about not having anyone to love, or to love them, which has inspired me to create a piece of art that I will likely post on the Facebook page, 'Artists and Autism', for those who don't have a Valentine this year, and as a means to give away some of the love in my heart, that is causing it to feel as though it is going to burst open.

I hope I haven't drifted to far from the actual message/meaning of your post, khaoz.
Happy Valentines Day to Everyone on WP.

I don't think you drifted at all. I think your response was perfect. It was just circular enough not to give me anything that my mind might mistake for something that it is not, for I have no control over that part of me that misreads intention, specifically of females. You did a good job, Thank you.

You are so sweet. You're welcome! Thank you, as well,, and glad to know!

You've piqued my interest with your new comment. Could you elaborate on the meaning of the following statement you made; "for I have no control over that part of me that misreads intention, specifically of females." I am asking because, I have recently been contending with something, that is perhaps, related. Many thanks...

...I just reread...I think I now understand....

I forgot tomorrow was valentines day. I'm sure I will get nothing, as Frank has been a douche and my husband has too. I bet Angie will give me something for valentines, she's my best friend and I love her. I need to get some money to get her some candy.
