Iono, having a degree doesn't automagically imply the person wants, or can get the "right" job. I was EE for maybe a semester before I wanted to gouge my eyes out with mah $5 multimeter. The "right" job, or major, or whatever, may be "right", but if someone doesn't want to do it, what's the point?

If you want to find out if he likes you, ask him, probably with some measure of privacy just to be on the polite side. Don't confront him about it, just drop the question in an innocuous manner.

Ummm..... but... (still confused, sorry)

If you like him, why say that "this Aspie is a looser" ? That seems a bit extreme for just reacting in anger to him behaving like an a***hole and ignoring you. So does "he acts like the world's biggest dumb dumb".

Mixed feelings perhaps?

Wild mood swings where this
guy is concerned. I don't know.
People don't always act rationally.

To put this degree stuff in context, I have high IQ (140+) and a degree but have spent years in a relatively low paid and repetitive clerical job. I like this kind of work and can use my mind in other ways.

If this guy doesn't want a high pressure and high paid job, so what? It's his choice as to what he does and what he feels comfortable with and he's not a loser on that account.

Ignoring you could be construed as being "loser" behaviour but he might not know that this behaviour is hurting you. Young guys are often too embarrassed to say they like a girl. If you don't feel right about asking him in person if he likes you, maybe you could send a letter saying you feel hurt that he seems to be ignoring you some times.

I know some aspie guys who have very changeable moods and he could be one of those and this certainly doesn't make life one bit easy.
