I've really been interested in this one girl who's also attended a convention I went to earlier this year (The "A&G Ohio" Animation & Gaming con, which happens in Cincinnati every spring). I've been looking up people who also attended this con over on Facebook, and her profile caught my eye, and I thought she was an interesting and attractive person who I wanted to get to know better. We became friends on Facebook, and I've been trying to keep the lines of communication open with her, but she once scolded me for commenting on a number of her statuses because some of her other FB friends thought I was creepy or something (I did let her know that I had Asperger's and have a hard time socializing properly). I don't really like using FB chat, either.

Even though we both live in Ohio, and she is in her 20's agewise, she still lives a long distance from me (she's based up near Columbus, while I'm in the eastern rural outskirts of Cincinnati). And I can't find any other single girl who lives any closer to me that I could be able to click with, either. Is there any way I could show this girl that I'm interested in her as more than just a friend without coming off looking like some sort of creep or stalker to her? :?

Maybe don't count on this response but you could just simply tell her that you like her and find her interesting.

If you don´t want to chat with her invite her for a date. Think about going to somewhere that she also likes.

Or do that and then invite her for a date.

I hate to say it, but someone has to: You're already screwed. Her friends think you're creepy and she told you to stop commenting on her status messages. Even if she likes you a little bit, she's not going to choose you over her friends.

That advice is neither constructive, nor prudent.
You can't judge this like that.

Im sorry but i'm going to have to agree with the range on this one.

You'll only end up embarassing yourself - This is coming from a 25 year old gamer female. Did you meet her at the con? If shes just a random it is kind of creepy. The fact that she scolded you already to me is a very firm "stop being so interested in me - I'm not interested in you". I'm willing to bet money if you tired to come on to her she would delete you off her facebook. Some people add people to facebook because its just easier than dealing with possible backlash from declining it.

Your best bet is to actually meet potential girls at these things in person before facebook adding them.

Anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
I don't think that this has to be a situation gone wrong.

Why not give it a try?

Most of the rest of you seem to think it's already too late anyway, so in the greater scheme of things what do you have to lose at this point?

(Hope that didn't sound TOO cynical.... :wink: )

Based on her negative reactions already, and her friends making comments in addition - I'd just give up and move on. Can you honestly believe that you can get her to change her mind?

So the plurality of you say I should just leave her alone and not pursue her any further? Sigh... :(

I don't know what to do with my life without a girlfriend. This girl in question is the only 'real' girl I have a crush on (all my other crushes happen to be B-/C-/D-list celebrity girls who I may never be able to meet in real life) and as I said before, there isn't any girl who lives close to me who I would have any chemistry with...

But you don't have chemistry with this person. You don't even know her.

Have you been to any aspie meetups?

I don't know of any Aspie meetups in Southwest Ohio. I've tried looking up Aspie support groups and the only ones that are listed for SW Ohio/Cincinnati are all only for kids with Asperger's, or parents of kids with Asperger's. :(

I'm sort of going through something like this right now, and with another gamer as well. I suppose this isn't a problem that can be solved by the BGSF dating service.

I agree as well. I've been in the same boat, and it's not fun.

Having a girlfriend does not automaticly make you a happyman.
Yes i know you are looking for someone to love you and accept you, but the fact that she already scolded you and her friends having said you were creepy is a bad sign. It would be a waste of energy to try any further.

You dont know what to do with your life?
Have fun, play games, go out traveling, enjoy it while you are still alive.
