It'd be irrelevant either way. I'll have little in common with either of them. I kinda shy away from shy girls, as I have enough social difficulties of my own, and I can't take on her social difficulties too, and do all the work of socializing for her. So in that sense, I'd prefer a more "NT" girl, but I've found out, outgoingness has little to do with AS or lack of it, at least that's the way it works out for me.

Now a girl who is obsessed with old 80s Japanese pop and italodisco, that'd be great. And if she could cook...

I would love to have an aspie gf because I too tend to get clingy and overly affectionate it would balance things out we would both be keeping eachother comforted.Maybe clinginess is an aspie thing lol. Most nts can't stand it but as an aspie I like it very much so it is comforting at times.

Aspies are generally less clingy & a lot less affectionate than NTs but there are exceptions & I'm one of them.

ditto for me its usually when I get emotionally attached though otherwise I tend to be distant at first.
