So it seems to me that, in the past with regards to dating, I'm not "normal" with it. I suppose this idea is associated with the fact that I've only dated people without AS, and don't know anybody with it. I know that normal is nonexistent, but it seems to be the boundary that sets me back from dating. However, whether I'm talking to someone with or without it, I want to know how I can develop confidence, or whatever else I can do in order to build relationships, both friendly and romantically. I care about people a lot and, if I was dating, I'd always be there for her, but there's probably a better way to get that point across when interacting with someone who I'm interested in. Any thoughts/ideas?
