That sort of thing happens all the time, aspie or not. No one can explain it other than he probably didn't know what he wanted. I have never been the "Starter" girlfriend, but I have seen it over and over. I don't sleep with anyone until love is evident, but you may not have either. I'm sorry for your pain. Wish I could give you a hug. The right person will cherish you for you. It will happen, have faith, Grasshopper!
I do not completely agree with the "it will happen" rhetoric. But I agree that if it doesn't work out, it's not automatically your fault. The guy did not seem worth it. If he didn't treat you adequately, there's definitely something wrong with him. It's complete lack of respect.

The guy sounds like an a***hole.
I know you shouldn't take it personally, but you do.
But try to remember for every a***hole there is an understanding guy out there.
He's not worth it.
But I can say that I am the kind of person who could end up in a relationship like that, too.
I used to be interested in guys who are either not worth it or not the kind of person I'd like to be with. I used to believe that if there's "the right guy out there for me" I would find him. So even if he's an as*hole, I could give it a try. I stopped believing in these empty hopes. I feel much better now.
