I think it's that we can't read their signals and they probably misread our signals. My husband swears this is what it is anyway.
I can totally believe that. Back in the Neolithic period, when I was 22 or 23, this NT woman I was hanging out with, and had a raging crush on, absolutely hit on me one evening. But she was pretty extreme when it came to subtleties, and I was the totally honest and open sort, so it went right past me. I didn't even recognize it for what it was until much later, by which time we were no longer on speaking terms.
I can easily imagine an aspie getting signals crossed in the opposite way, making an NT think that they're interested when they're not. I wouldn't have guessed that such a scenario would often happen between aspies, but you never know.
