OK, first off, I'm not sure if I have Asperger's or not. My brother has it, and I kinda always thought I might have a lesser degree of it. I am very booksmart, but not great with social skills and cues.
I was diagnosed as not having it, but the diagnosis was did in a controlled one-on-one quiet environment, which it seems to me, would not be the same thing as many social situations that give me problems. I never have problems just talking one on one with people, but more in groups of people and social environments. And say, knowing the right things to say to a girl or during certain social scenarios, is completely different.
Aaanyway, regardless of whether it's Asperger's or social anxiety mixed with a lack of understanding of modern social skills, here's my question...I am also bisexual and agnostic, and the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with, I've always wanted to share those things, at least in common. but, it's not easy for many guys with this kind of problem to find a gf at all, much less lessen their dating pool even more with the bisexual and agnostic things. Should I just settle for less than what I truly want because of the Asperger's/social anxiety issue or stick with what I truly want in a soulmate?
(PS, I also have a profile at myspace.com/johndoe12345 but it's kinda a long read, because I just let it all out.)
