You will think me odd for saying this, but I have no want for a partner. Despite this, it has become apparent from various postings across forum topics that many do not feel the same way; making specific comment in relation to their lack of success in interacting with the opposite gender, and articulating their desire for a nurturing relationship. For these reasons I created this particular thread; I think it could potentially prove to be quite successful.
To be frank, I would be of little use in maintaining a "dating-group" as I have no interest in the matter - as selfish as that may sound. I would be very happy though if this post were to prompt a genuinely motivated party into setting up such a group.

Hi, I'm Greg from the central coast NSW. I have just turned 47, have Aspergers although Id never even heard of it, I owe it to the efforts of my dear Aunty Jen, who researched for years, convinced she could find out what was the underlying truth of my condition. I find introducing myself to strangers one of the hardest things to do, but I will open up and tell as much about myself in time. I'm not too bad looking according to some females I know (they are genuine too), but have never remotely seen myself that way. I've had one significant relationship with a woman, but she had 10 times as many issues as I do (thats saying something),,,, for most of my life I did not know what the real issue was, but in the last year I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with Aspergers. I have much to learn about it. I have never met a girl with Aspergers so I have no idea what that would be like, but it sure would be great to have someone who REALLY knew what its like to have AS (is that the right abbrev. ?). ------ I have talent as a guitar player, with blues as my ultimate passion, I find myself in the position where I have family who love me,,,, and a few very good friends,..... but there are a lot of musicians and blues lovers who are fans of my music so I am not completely lonely,,, except when I shut that front door behind me and theres just me and Buster Brown Cat esq....... hes a great loyal cat too,.... People are amazed that I seem to know that much about blues... and world history...... they call me an encyclopaedia, but they are wrong,,,,,,, if they only knew how many thousands of hours of time by myself I had to read history book after history book,,, but I have wondered why I find myself reading two books at a time and being able to keep track of both. One thing I love are people who are funny, I can fall easily for a girl who can laugh a lot and make me laugh in return, when I'm in a happy mood,,,,, its a very happy mood,.... I just wish I could make those moments last longer. --------------------------------- I will have to do a chapter two later, because there is a lot more to me, any lady who wants to know more just needs to send a quick HI to me and I'll be happy to open up, I want to find a friend or two first without getting worked up to start with. I hope to get some replies, I have never met a woman with aspergers before and it's something I need to do if I can ever hope to understand this condition properly,,, you know a different perspective from the opposite angle.... I am open to a relationship of course, first and foremost she would have to be my friend,...... so say hi,..... I don't bite.
