Yes.
Even though I know the odds are against it, it is possible.
The best of relationships happen when people aren't looking for someone else, and it just happens like that.

36 YO, hetero male looking for cute nerdy goth chick that live around Stockholm or Uppsala in Sweden. I am NOT interested in smokers, racists or taking care of anyones children.
It is a good thing if you are:
...An atheist/Agnostic, or does not take religion seriously.
...Into sciense.
...ok with me playing games and watching movies/series all the time.
...into asian food.
...open minded about music.
...not intrested in living an ordinary life, i am not looking forward to coupples dinners, family hollydays or traveling to Thailand for the 36'th time like everyone else do here.
Basically, if you are something like Abby on NCIS, that is a VERY good start

Hey guys, aren't there certain types of map software, google maps, or whatever, that we can use to better see who lives in our area? Might be neat to start one of those..
Cause I live in Switzerland (female, 23), and I don't really wanna search through the whole 135-page thread to see if there's someone else over here. What do you guys think?

I've thought about the same idea before.
There is a frapper map in the Getting you know you board, but it hasn't been updated and most members don't add to it.

Location: was Louisiana but now Vermont in capitalistic police state called USA
I'm a 27 year-old guy living in Louisiana but I'd be willing to relocate most anywhere. I have kind of a standard profile that I use on dating sites that so I'm going to copy that here
I'm a fairly sensitive guy & I think caring to much is one of my weaknesses thou I may not appear that way to most people because I do not feel comfortable with em. I'm an EMOish dork. I'm kind of straightforward & I don't "fake" or "pretend". I think part of the rezone I'm alone is because I don't understand "mind-games" or playing "hard-to-get". I like most anyone who's nice towards me. I'm Straight_Edge & I'm basically a loner & a homebody but I'm lonely. I don't get out much partly cuz I'm extremely shy & cuz I cant drive due to the fact I'm very nearsighted; I have a rare vision disorder. I also have a tremor disorder where I sometimes shake when doing things with fine motor-skills. I do not officially have Aspergers but I have a lot of AS characteristics & I think I could get along really well with some people on the autism spectrum. I've been diagnosed as having lots of other different mental things but I feel much better sense I quit treatment over a year ago. I like helping people with their problems. I have some things as well so I'd like to find someone who I can talk about things with. I really want to find someone who I can feel comfortable with & be my best friend & soul-mate. I want someone who makes me feel needed & wants to spend time with me. I'm looking for love, intimacy & affection, as well as friends. If anyone want's to know anything else about me; feel free to check MySpace page listed in my pro or message me. I like chatting.
BTW I joined Aspie Affection a couple days ago but every time I try searching for members; I get a page with some code. Site is messing up
(Updated some and added a picture.)
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Location: Liberty County in Texas
Interests: Humans (behavior and medical sciences), ants, and Asian ball jointed dolls.
Note: I usually have one temporary interest that is a little strange. Recent ones have been marmite and Cadbury cream eggs
(It’s usually a type of food now that I think about it O_o).
Appearance: Brown Hair, dark brown eyes, and a light complexion. I am short (5 feet exactly) and I weigh 96 pounds.

(I think seeing a picture is important. While I strongly believe there is much more to attraction than looks, I do not fault anyone who finds looks to be a big factor in whether or not they can be attracted to a person. So, that's what I look like.)
I have been told I am smart, nerdy, strange, logical, unemotional, too literal, and that I "...think like a man." I really do not express (the key word being "express") very much emotion nor do I express a great variety of it (sometimes, my family calls me Spock). I am normally quiet; however, I can become quite talkative if it is about something I enjoy. I am a good listener, almost to a fault. I am honest, loyal, and patient. I will admit, sometimes I do not catch how other people are feeling and can seem cold or uninterested. But I do try to be helpful if people tell me how they feel- even if it does not make complete sense to me and/or I am not very good at it. I am not a social person and do not have many friends, nor do I want many friends because I could not handle it. But I love people. I find humans to be the most fascinating known things in the universe. I should note that I am Christian, though not in the way most people may expect. If you really dislike Christians or if you are a Christian who believes all must go to church on Sunday, you will not like me.
I dress in mostly dark colours and I often look quite geeky-gothic. I have good hygiene, but I am usually a mess when it comes to fashion and such.
I received my official diagnosis of asperger’s syndrome earlier this year; though I suspected having it for a while.
I have never dated anyone because I have never met anyone with whom there was enough mutual interest and attraction. If I were to date someone, it should be noted that I dislike tradition gender roles, probably because I fail at the one assigned to me.
I would be interested in someone with at least a few shared interests. I realize this is a site for people with ASDs, but someone with better social skills and emotional understanding than me would be good. Honesty, confidence, loyalty, patients, compassion, good hygiene, and a lack of wearing strongly scented anything are musts. I strongly prefer someone close to my own age and within a day's driving distance (Though, if you think you would like me, and I would like you, please message me regardless of where you live). I am attracted to people with small frames and who are generally “pretty.” That is, I really do not like big masculine looking men and built muscles turn me off because, to me, it ruins the form of the body. Tall and lanky or short and small is awesome.
I did not originally want to list things I do not like, but now I think it would be a good idea.
I can be a bit of a pessimist and sometimes cynical, but I am not interested in dating someone who is that way. I would prefer someone whose personality balances with mine. I can not date anyone who hates people. I am not interested in people with an aspie superiority complex or people who have an “us against them” mentality when it comes to NTs. (If someone occasionally needs to rant about illogical NT behavior that does not bother me, as long as it does not happen every hour.)
I am interested in both people who are autistic and people who are non-autistic. At this point, I really do not know if it would be easier for me to date one or the other.
-End

I'm REALLY into science and anything analytical. My intellectual blog is at [removed by Sallamandrina at OP's request] and my regular blog is at [removed by Sallamandrina at OP's request]
As for me, I'm a nihilist and relativist, so I tend to be objective and detached. I currently go to the University of Washington (yes I entered 2 years early). I'm a massive self-studier, as I self-studied enough APs to become a National AP Scholar.
I want to get a PhD in astrophysics someday. I'm most into girls who are cynical+detached from society and yet who can still be *very* caring about a significant other (very much like owls, who are very sweet to their significant other and yet asocial to everyone else). And who like science, or are massively curious or intellectual. I also like those who play computer games. Being smart above a threshold is a plus, but you don't have to be a genius (and in fact I'm scared of geniuses). And you don't have to desire pursuing a PhD in the sciences, but it is a huge plus.
I'm quite intellectual but don't have much self-control. I find virtue in most "flaws", as long as one doesn't have antisocial personality disorder towards a SO. I try to avoid being picky, as I hate judging people on what they can't control. I love all the social and natural sciences, especially those that involve the "consilience", or merger, of different fields.
I may seem overly neurotic, but I can be a lot more stable in a relationship. Also I have a lot of "personality" for a scientist. Perhaps it's melodrama, but I'm not at all a robot.
Also, I look very young and have very good skin (virtually no acne). And I don't accumulate dirt or grime and don't smell, even if I go for a couple of days without showering.

I am probably a classic high functioning Autistic/Aspie to a mid level Savant, with possible Eidetic or photographic memory some of which is cog-nascent much is triggered by external stimuli. I have been isolate all my life and my inability to be held or hugged infant symptoms went unnoticed in 1961, and further disguised because my father was in the military so being the new kid in town allowed for me to be different every where I went, anything that I have enjoyed I have excelled above many of my peers in. My life further exasperated my condition, by my inability to stay in one place, so each new place more new things to learn, I am a self educator and adept in many skills sets,

I have termed myself a "Living paradox" I have only now, meaning in the last 2 days accepted the fact I have some intense mental thing I have been frustrated through the years not understanding why I am such a miss fit, I can learn anything I set my my mind on in probably under 2 weeks, this has made it difficult to keep employment and to find it, EXTREMELY overqualified and the cycle continues,
Isolation, which creates a need to escape loneliness, so start inventing some other new thing that consumes my mind for a while...
I have studied animal behavior to the point of a doctor do little, I have observed human behavior as a pass time sitting in crowds malls etc. having exceptionally good hearing and listening to many conversations at one time, and could tell you verbatim what there conversations were, voice tense mood,
I studied the Bible so intensely one period that I started creating a number system to reference all my studies - a friend later shows me a Thompson Chain Reference Bible that I had started to reinvent.
I design my own computer workstations and build them my self at home, - Self educated running High end 3d architectural rendering software including movies. Designed my own website for architecture...
...and now I cast aside another skill set to go on to the next.
The only way to avoid sorrow of heart from the loneliness of isolation is to feed a mind that will not stop unless it is a sleep, like my computer I must nap from time too time to reset my mind back to start, I am soo sick of learning some new thing, and yet it is my addiction that I have to fulfill for knowledge and wisdom cries to me, and I would be completely mad if I dare not feed its hunger. For the reality of this divine gift causes pain so mental absorption is the only vent of such incredible and sometimes overwhelming gifts. and It is also the cause for the need, my mental absorbtion causes the detachment and further social difficulties, and sorrows, and yet it is the balm of the mind.
Paradox.
People - we haven't even scratched the surface yet. I hope to meet new friends, and share our experiences.
When I found out that I am what I am. I was elated because now I have a name for what I am. Not insane, but a very very conscious focused thinker, that didn't take the time to develope my friend making and dating skill sets. Exceptionally honest, sincere, trustworthy, friendly but not able to maintain them long, not all people have the patience for a Savant. Especially when we kinda cant keep our mouths shut. Being a pervasive truth Sayer, one isolates themselves really quickly.
...Anyway, if i don't stop here I might go off on another tangent. What is this blog for anyway, but to stand up and be noticed, this its my first step out of the closet and the denial that I have supernatural mental abilities. I really for many years thought others just weren't trying as hard as me. but history will cause us to listen sooner or later.
by for now

I've decided to give it another try.
I'm a big, burly female Mick Avory look-a-like, who's looking for a man with my body type, which would be of the Endomorph variety. Other than that, looks don't matter. He could be bald, have hair like mine, or be a long-haired hippie. It's all the same to me, as far as hair is concerned. Must love the music of the 60s and 70s. He must also be my age, or older. He must also be a Christian.
This is my picture:

I have trouble even just posting on forums let alone talking or even dating, I haven't been in a relationship that lasted for more than a month, and would love a long relationship I live in MS. I love drawing, talking to friends, and video games. I doubt theres anyone on here anywhere near me but its nice to meet friends! I would really like a cute femine guy, or just a cute girl. =] I also a atheist, and Anti-theist, but I am fine dating a Christian, as long as they don't try to force it onto me, I tend to be clingy and obessive, but I am a good listener.
I'm a 22 year old male living in the denver area. I'm a geeky computery person. That's all I'm going to say. If you're a chick in the denver area then you can message me if you want. I looked through the last year or so worth of posts and didn't see a single person from colorado though.
