Bonsoir!

While I have my doubts that this will actually be effective, it also couldn't hurt (too terribly much), right? I'm told that 'putting yourself out there' is the way normal people do these things...

Age: 24

Orientation: Attracted to brains, mostly; any gender.
Height: 5'2"

Education: Some University

I'm eccentric, intelligent, and fairly awkward. I work in a lab, and play the horn in a radical marching band. I tend to be fairly reticent, and seem to forever find myself at the mercy of those who intend to 'drag me out of my shell', when I'm actually much happier when left to my own devices. I get along with other quirky, creative types, but I also need a lot of personal space and time to myself, which people I've dated in the past (however briefly) tended to take personally. :/ I'd like to meet another introvert, preferably one who shares some of my interests, even if said interests are varied and bizarre.

I'll be studying American Sign Language in college next year. I'm a writer, cartoonist, and musician. Some of my favourite things include ukulele, thylacines, independent films, tattoos, zombies, semi-colons, and the colour mint green. I'm a vegetarian. I love animals and share my apartment with an obese cat, a betta fish, and some stick insects. I'm currently on a waiting list for a diagnosis, but expect to have an answer within the next few months.

And here's me:

Excuse me while I go hide under my proverbial rock some more. *hides*

you sound lovely, its a shame you live halfway across the world (i'm personally in the UK). what things in particular make you think you have AS? yes i can persnally understnad why you would need time alone and its a shame your previous dates couldn't understand that.

I was referred to a specialist by a psychiatrist last year, and though I was skeptical at first, the more I read, the more traits I realised I actually displayed. When I was younger, any quirks (ie. OCD, tics, a tendency to hide in the library rather than interacting with other kids) tended to be explained away as 'Oh, all those gifted kids are difficult like that' and left alone, though as an adult, I've been mostly incapable of forming any close social relationships because of being seen as 'creepy' or 'weird', or simply because I have no idea how to navigate them. Years ago, I actually did a poll asking people what exactly I was doing that was so off-putting, and they mentioned that my diction and body language were off, and that I was oftentimes insensitive. And though I've tried to change those things by studying and reading up on the 'proper' way to go about doing them, I still mostly suck at that stuff and have my social awkwardness pointed out to me on a regular basis. Fortunately, working in a lab seems to be a safe haven for people who freak out when their favourite pen is taken or when people touch them unexpectedly, though trying to figure out how better imitate other people all the time does get quite tiring. :/

Also, I type too much. If this wasn't off-putting, I don't know what is. Ick.

i certainly can relate to a lot of wat you have said. unlike a lot of people with AS, I do feel that despite needing time alone, there is also a part of me who is craving to break out of my shell and reaveal my "true self".

I wasn't put off in any way by the length of your last post; I actually feel quite moved that you've decided to share that information.

Any eccentric, creative, adventurous gals in the Houston area? I'd think it would be safe to assume that a girl with AS wouldn't be prone to histronic behavior, because my last relationship was attention-drama personified.

I'm from Toronto, but no longer live there, alas. Whereabouts in the city, out of curiosity?

I agree and would like to make the proposition to add "very" to the qualifier "cute".

Haha I cannot believe I'm doing this, but I'm 20 year old man on the outside and a 12 year old boy on the inside. Unlike many others who claim this to be truth, MUSIC IS my life and because of Aspergers I can be very closed minded when it comes to that subject. I am a guitarist/vocalist in a progressive death metal band. I love to make outrageous burgers like Banana/Coconut burgers or BBQ bacon Cinnaburgers. I live with my parents and cannot get a job because of built up anxiety. I have long brown hair that I take good care of, but I have to cut it off because you can only have a job if you have short hair. This only applies to people who have penises which is kinda sexist, but at the same time it's not because sexism directed at men isn't sexist (Only Women are protected by that word). The only real relationship I've had is with Mary Jane and that is definitely not gonna change. I love animals and Monster Energy Drinks.

Do I win something?
