If they start asking YOU questions, that means they’re interested.

As long as they are proper questions to ask. I’ve had some inappropriate questions asked to me before. Ex: do I have an STD and do I have a big wiener.

My reply: (almost yelling) now wait a second, now what kind of questions are these?

No self-respecting woman would ask those sorts of questions.

You probably dodged a lot of bullets.

I also have fought many battles. I don’t get what happened to good old fashioned self respect.

On the record I weep for the future. Why can’t that make a come back?

It will.

Just don’t get that philosophical when you speak to women....unless they get philosophical in turn.

I mean if they get philosophical, you can get philosophical, too.

I sometimes wonder if women can detect that I have Aspergers.

And that turns them off.

Also I avoid showing these signs, what are signs that I am not sure of myself?

Smudge,
Thanks. You’re like Jester or Viper to my Maverick like in Top Gun. Hope you don’t mind me referencing the movie.


Aww, thanks!

So have you spoken to her since and asked about books?

Not yet. I only see her at the library on Thursdays before Taekwondo class.

When would be a good time to ask her for her number?

Do you know she's single?
I have not gotten from your posts that she's any more than friendly and polite. Maybe spend more time at the library- not in the stalker sense- and see if she willingly engages you in conversation. If not, she may not be interested. She could be married, or gay, or does not believe in mixing with patrons other than in a business like way. You've come across as polite and friendly. If she wants to approach you, she will. But it's too early to ask for her number. Only ask if she exhibits obvious interest.

Thanks. I might wait until she asks, if not then oh well.
