^ I absolutely agree. Just because you're married doesn't mean you instantly stop having connections with people. It's all about boundaries and what those boundaries are varies from one marriage to another.

Good Lord, girl. Place ads on free dating sites. You're female -- you don't HAVE to pay to advertise.

Go to a convention -- ANY convention. Dress cute. You'll be swarmed.

Come to think of it, there's a woman at my workplace like this as well - likely either depressed or an Aspie, or both.

The moment I saw her my first day at work, I developed a huge crush on her. However, I'm married, so I can only admire from afar, as it should be. She doesn't like me that way anyways, from what I can tell, so no worries there 8)

She's exactly what I like -- Chinese-American, certain look to her, very pale skin, a certain kind of face, intelligent, well-read -- while some people think she's pretty, she's not at the top of anyone's list by far. She's also 35 and apparently not in a relationship, though she may have had one in the past with a guy whose pic and facebook responses seem to peg him as an Aspie (they apparently are not together). She does some Aspie things (like twisting), and comes off as cold, disinterested, or sour.

I think it's a shame -- to me, she's gorgeous, and she does have a great smile and some good humor when you get it out of her. I think she is probably overly picky, but also probably one who is hard to live with or around -- for instance, she lives with her sister right now after moving out here from another state, but she and her sister are not on great terms (there's an age gulf as well).

From what I can tell on her facebook page, she doesn't have a BF, doesn't seem to spend a lot of time with guys, just female friends, but isn't gay (her friends are homely but not lesbian or masculine). I do wish she was happy, and I still lust after her a bit too much (in my mind) when I'm around her, because she physically reminds me of several ex girlfriends and crushes.


I am glad I am not married to someone that knows all of that about a girl he is infatuated with!

Do you ever window shop for something you have no intention of buying? It's a harsh truth, but most guys look, even when they're perfectly happy at home. I have no intention of ever trading what I have for that person, but it is a person I can't help but feel something for due to various factors. I've seen the same behavior from woman coworkers as well (including towards my long-married self), so I think this is just a human thing.

And in my case, I happen to be nosy and a people watcher. I just think it's such a waste -- attractive woman, not taking care of her skin or dressing well (because she works around tech dorks all day, I guess, but there must be more). I think she's unhappy, but she's not doing what it takes to be happy.


seriously dude, you are starting to sound creepy.

I feel sorry for aspies that live in Jersey. It is a shame because Jersey is a nice place. If I was to move there I would most probably be the only black aspie on the island.

everyone is responsible for his/her own happiness.
You're not responsible for her life.

Pennsylvania is a long way from Jersey.

New Jersey is a bit closer.

Those of us in the US state of NJ refuse to acknowledge the existence of a particular island in the English Channel...

In other words, we often omit the "new" from our name...
