If my friendships and other people I get on well with are anything to go by, then definitely Aspies attract one another.

Unfortunately all those who "turn me on" say that either I am not my type. I even get the "you're too different" from other people withAsperger's Syndrome. This is quite demeaning since I have tried quite hard to find someone perfect over the past six years. :cry:

I agree that Aspies attract one another before met Graeme I didn't think I would ever find the right person for me because I could never relate to any NT guys but as soon as we started a relationship together I knew we were right for each other not just because we are both Aspies but because we have a lot of similar interests and I love every second with him.

I've also had other aspies say I'm "too much hard work" and it hurts being rejected by your own kind. I don't think it is possible to find "the perfect partner" though. If you can find somebody who is 90% of what you're looking for and the other 10% isn't too bad, you're doing extremely well.

I'm not attracted to aspies. Some aspies are attracted to me though. Not naming names...

I am more likely to be attracted to an aspie. NT women (and some NT men) are too deceptive for my tastes...

Personally, I would never want to be with an Aspie... I mean, I'd see to much of a reflection of myself... I want someone unique and interesting. I know one Aspie, and there's a few other's I suspect of having Asperger's... and I don't particularly like any of them, in fact, I mostly dislike them.

I've never even met an aspie female in person, so all my assumptions regarding dating are based on NTs because that's what is available to me. I have met only one aspie male irl, and the conversation died in record time - the same could very well happen with an aspie girl, there is no reason to aasume we'd have anything other than AS in common. So i'm basically looking for a serious relationship with some quirky, nice NT girl.
I have done long distance in the past and wouldn't do it again. If it's not realistic meeting in person something like twice a week at least, then I don't see the point. I see the point in continuing, long distance, an existing relationhsip, but not in starting a long-distance one unless one of you is moving soon.
It's just occurred to me that an atheist from a Muslim background might something i'd be compatible with.
