This probably sounds unromantic, but 'love sickness' is actually an influx of Seratonnin (a chemical that's a neural transmitter aka, the 'feel good' chemical) within your mind. It's the part that causes you to think constantly of this fellow and studies show that Seratonnin is the chemical component of OCD and the repetitive behaviors of people with AS, hence, your repetitive thoughts. However, a chemical called 'Oxytocin' is responsible for feelings of trust and longevity. I've been where you've been, 'love-sick' as it were. I can tell you, that such irrational things often lead to destruction. Heh, they sure lead to mine. My advice? Start slow. Nothing good comes of anything if you rush it. Solid relationships take time to build, to let the Oxytocin sink in. Get to know him first, and THEN decide if you like him or not. Also, watch out for signs that he likes you back. Nothing good comes of requitted feelings. Trust me, I've been there too. Many times. It's not pretty, especially when heart-breaks short-circuit the Aspie mind. In any regard, good luck.
This prolly explains why some people are so much nicer when they are in a relationship then when they are not.
