Well I'm tried from trying to hook up with some neurotypical female friends of mine. I feel like I'm rushing myself to find love and trying to date people but its rough for me to have a chance to even to go out on a date. In truth, I been out on a date only one time but it was with my family friend Katie so its sort of counts. I really just wanted to have the feeling of love to shared with a fellow female aspie. I'm mostly frustrated with myself socially and sexual for my weakness to fall in love with females who are kind and nice. My f@#king emotions are even make me feel like I'm a sap for nice, kind, and good looking females. Does anyone else feel this way just like me?

um dunno what to say........

think the majority of the population is having issues with dating.

ive only met a few aspies... and they are all different from me... and the message is the same here online...

i think people screening for only apsies are limiting themselves... and finding another aspie does not equal a golden ticket to relatioship bliss...

maybe a better (similar) way would be to hit up the pyschology / neuroscience programs.... where you're encountering people who are at least aware of these conditions on some level....

which in itself is weird... im in the GMU PhD neuro program... and i must say, I'm doin WP proud in journal club discussions ect.... it's amazing to get the aspie perspective here and then the perspective of "NT" people researching this stuff... to see what they are gathering through their studies on it...


but i must say... that i think that's the best bet, right there... finding someone who has some sort of academic (career) interest.... so whether they are NT or w/e... that they know there are some rules to the game... so to speak.

that's where i'm at atm... though i must say... im more inclined to just go play WoW.

when/where is your martial art class, jerry? maybe ill give it a try... though i much prefer judo or grappling or aikido.... where you have more physical contact with people and get to smash them... versus the beatdown with a stick. all the classes ive looked into are in the aquatics center.... which is still closed.

I have the same desires that you do Jerry, but I'm just about ready to graduate.

College is such a great opportunity to meet people, and I've squandered most of it. So it's good that you are building yourself up right now when you are starting...

Working on it my final year here, and see where it goes for me...

I would just keep working at it, ask girls out... don't get too upset if nothing happens. Don't worry about talking with them about stuff.. you're both going to the same school... there should be plenty of things to talk about.

You are friendly and into that martial arts stuff, and your new avatar shows a much "cooler" you than before... you have much to offer a girl who would give you a chance.

Out of many Aspies here, you never really seem to get down on yourself... always positive.

Good luck man...

Isn't the definition of insanity, trying to do the same thing over and over expecting different results?

You're operating under the assumption that all women are the same... if you do the same thing over and over again in the attempts to win the same woman... then I'd say that's crazy.

Also, a person may know what to do... but not have much experience. If I want to play the guitar but keep on playing the same song and messing it up over and over again, some would call it insanity... others would call it practice.

You can't account for what some girls will like... just have to keep on going on... and not too assume that relationships fail all because of you.

Heck even in all my failed attempts each one had a slightly different flavor...

ONE person's, which has caught on

definition.

Good luck finding someone. I used to go to Mason also (graduate school). I know that I didn't find Mason to be the most social of schools, but then again I was at the Arlington campus most of the time. Why don't you try starting a group on campus and I'm sure at least 1 or 2 girls will show up. There's a club for everything else under the sun! But good luck finding AS girls...we're a rare breed.

Well I'm hoping the Asperger's group that Alex creating will meet soon. I cannot wait for it. Hope some Aspie girls be there. :)

yea , and don't get upset if they reject you and don't be bothered by their presence because you'll probably never see them again after finishing school

Well, those are the risks with asking out girls but they will talked you even once out of school.
