I met this guy at work last year when we were both having marital problems. I'm married to an NT and I think that he's gotta be somewhere on the spectrum but his wife is NT. Anyway, his wife took off for like 6 months and we started hanging around together. When we started hanging around, I realized that he was probably aspie as well for a number of reasons that I won't get into, since that's not the point. Suffice it to say, we didn't even hold hands despite spending a lot of time together (I tried once and we both freaked out). But he was definitely the more aggressive one in the relationship because he kept coming by my department to the point that I got in trouble (which is kind of hypocritical - physicians NEVER get in trouble for this stuff even though they are the aggressive ones). So, anyway, his wife got back into town and she called me and told me to stay away. It seems like he blamed the whole thing on me, which is kind of a joke, but I can only imagine how the conversation went if he was trying to save himself. As much as I like him, I decided it wasn't worth it do deal with some psycho NT b***h.
Anyway, it's been a little over a month since this happenned, and now he keeps calling me and hanging up. It's a little ridiculous since we're both in our 30's and fairly well educated (albeit limited in our social skills). I want him to either stop doing it or talk to me when he calls. I'd prefer to talk to him, but I don't want to call him because I'd show up on caller ID and have to deal with the b***h.
I can offer the point of view of a guy who's done the same?
I feel stupid about it now, but I feel I should share, obsession is a powerful thing, with some people to feel or love another person, this obsession is required, these people most often work best alone, or mostly alone. Anyway, this obsessive nature can be directed towards goals, work, ideas etc.. But sometimes its directed towards a person.
Meaning I rang her 500 times when she didn't want to talk, just to get an answer, whether good or bad, because I was so obsessed with her, and my feelings are so polarised, I had to make her love me or hate me.
You should block his number if you can, I have a feeling he actually wants you to block it, and help him end his obsession or addiction. Personally I found a way to break free of it, through focus in something else, but sometimes people can live their whole lives without realising they make others their entire world when they feel something together.
Sorry if this wasn't clear.
