Well I had a weekend packed full of romance.

Held hands constantly all weekend
Dressing in matching cosplay
Feeding each other food including icecream
Buying the other person a new gun for their cosplay
Sitting through panels at a convention on a show you hate

Quote:
What Is considered Romantic?
tolerating the company of suitors for a period of at least 12 hours without looking for an escape route or expressing impatience to return to one's own world.

to spend a whole night with someone, and to have to abrogate the course of my natural flow of thoughts in order to acquiesce to the desires of another mental agenda for the entire time shows my fondness for the person who i allow to cause that level of displacement from my comfortable solo routine repetitions of what i like to do every day in a sequential and uninterrupted order.

that sacrifice can be considered to be "romantic" because i usually am not interested in other peoples words, and i think of the banter going on in the world as just gabble that is less meaningful than the twittering of small birds(that in fact are meaningful).

to strap myself into that world because of a fleeting philanthropic sentiment , and to try to understand someone elses way of thinking because i "like" them is fraught with complications. i can never understand how they think no matter how hard i try.

the best i can think of "romantically" is just go to sleep with a girl who i like that also finds the arduous social obligations of life to be hilariously unimportant.

but after one night with a girl such as even this, i would still alert her to the fact that there are "marching orders" that it is time for her to observe.

was playing FF7 with a close friend and she was getting a little handsy if you know what i mean.
the distraction caused me to have my first game over.

but i like how many people still admit to cuddling. im getting curious if NTs are just too shy about admitting it, or if its an aspie thing.

Another vote for stargazing trips here!

Apart from that, it's the little things that say it all. Things like bringing your partner a cup of tea, running them a bath, buying their favourite magazine. Listening to them. And as for the physical side, I think it's the taking their hand, putting an arm around them, giving them a kiss on the cheek, cuddling up in bed that doesn't necessarily lead to sex. People say you know a relationship is in trouble when the sex stops, but I think it's on the rocks when all the non-sexual-but-intimate touches stop.

Cuddling is very romantic. Sleeping in the same bed without having sex is romantic


More along those lines.


Oh, I see. I think I misunderstood you. Some people use the phrase "sleeping together" as a euphemism for "having sex." I thought that was what you meant.

I thought you were implying that the most romantic thing that people with autism could do was have sex - which seemed weird, because sex and romance are not the same thing.

They aren't? And I was going to answer: "anal sex" ... oh well.
