virtual date as experiment (interested? see lengthy descript

Post Reply New Topic

I am a female diagnosed with aspergers . I am capable of producing the social cadences most commonly associated with neurotypical individuals as well as interpretivly understanding and engaging in the sometimes somewhat ecentric linguistics commonly used by some people on the spectrum. I get along with a wide variety of social types but am currently wondering if dating a male diagnosed with aspergers would have any inheritantly obvious impact and or difference on the dynamic of a relationship for better or worse. Of course taking into account confounding variables such as differences in personality amongst people with a common diagnosis I'm aware no one person can accurately represt an entire participant sample. But if anyone is interested in going on an internet date. ( chatting online a hypothetical imaginary scenario) please let me know. Also I can tone it down an speak much more casually if its more pleasurable for you. The idea is to get a generalized idea of whether aspie to aspie dating can be a rewarding experience.

You've proposed a most intriguing experiment. I would be a willing participant, so long as we wait until it's a more reasonable hour in my timezone.

Like voice chat ? Or texting?

Here you are likely to meet guys who have additional difficulties in dating other than AS, so I am not sure that your experiment will give you a realistic experience of what's like to date a guy with AS (also because you're just chatting, not really dating).

Perhaps saying what your likes, dislikes, special interests, goals, just what you want out of a relationbship, et cetera would be a good idea so as to find to find the most compatible.

No. Just no. It's too 90's. On par with dial-up internet and AOL CD's. A virtual date may have seemed innovative and exciting back then, but a waste of time today. After all, you're just typing messages back and forth, chat room-style. Not to mention you can't get physical if chemistry happens. Not even little things like hold hands.

Besides, what communication channel would you use? Chat rooms became obsolete years ago, and I don't know if old-style messengers (AIM, Yahoo) are still around. Skype comes close, but it's not text-based.

That said, it would work as a semi-formal interview, where you discuss your likes and dislikes on a date, but not as a virtual date you're describing. At least not in 2015 (soon to be 2016).

If interested please post: location (relevant to your time zone) ,times your most available for the experiment . (as relevant to your own time zone) ,and a preffered social medium; examples :Facebook ,a texting app , private message on wrong planets chat board ,cell phone) please consider that impersonal mediums that don't share personal info are of preference to me . Also that actions or locations within the experiment can be expressed by inserting them within parentheses or astricks . *eats croissant * -example of an action-
(Setting is a cafe ) -example of setting a location- . Typos or improper grammer aren't a concern as long as your understandable an are something I myself struggle to adhere perfectly to. This experiment is not serviceable as a means to sexual congress (virtual or real) an has to many confounding variables to be a precise experiment. Therefore it should be addressed that the experiment itself is for personal gain, to give the participant an myself a generalized feel for the romantic chemistry in such a scenario. For further details please specify your concerns and or inquiries an I will do my best to address them if relevant.

Also( if relevant) please specify any social medium relevant information such a user name ,an I will specify my own or share the details after I set up my own account . personal information about myself such as likes or dislikes can be shared within the ,"date."
Thank you for your interest and or sharing of your opinions.
