I was outside with Chloe, my parrot
just now, and starting to take her back inside, when this cute girl came out of nowhere and said "Hi", and asked if she could say hello to my bird. I said yes, and I handed Chloe to her. Now, Chloe is VERY tempermental, even though she's got a very sweet personality once she's comfortable with someone. She's bitten all of my friends, when they were just saying hi to her. But this girl was able to handle Chloe easily, and made her step-up from hand to hand. I told her she's the best person so far with Chloe besides me. She said, two different times, "I love birds." Then, she called her cute friend over, and they were both saying hi to me and Chloe. They apparently live nextdoor, and seem to be both about 24. (I'm 28.)
As an Aspie myself, I couldn't tell at the time that this girl's repeated "I love birds" statement may have actually been flirting with me, until after I went inside and thought about it for a minute. Maybe, maybe not, but either way,
1) I'm not looking for a girlfriend, and
2) I'm not looking for a girlfriend with a "Hooters" t-shirt, which this girl was wearing.
So, my glass is half full. I got the alleged flirting for free, and can go on my merry way, single and happily so.
But the point I'm trying to make here is that this girl was quite clearly an NT, yet, as never happens, she approached me, an Aspie with nightmarish body language.
So, to all Aspie guys out there: your best chance with NT girls is when they catch you in one of your areas of expertise -- in other words, when you briefly appear to be NT yourself. When this girl happened to first glance at me and Chloe was when I was holding her up and letting her flap her wings wildly. So, the girl just happened to look over during a Kodak moment, and decided to investigate. One can't easily set up such moments with forethought, so, rather, when they naturally occur, I recommend just rolling with the initial positive impression you've inadvertently made, and trying to carry it off with your best acting skills. As if you're just "Mr. Kodak Moment". 'Cause, I mean, what's courtship without acting?
