Needing love and attention in life

Post Reply New Topic

Yes.

(I always had the impression you were married )

Sheila made the first move on me. She is the sister of a guy I knew. We were all at some place where there was dancing and she dragged me up onto the dance floor. About 2 weeks later (after overcoming a panic attack or 2) I called her on the phone for a date. She thought I wasn't interested since I had taken so long to call.

I don't think it would be possible for me to ask a stranger (like try to pick some one up I don't know).

If Sheila hadn't approached me first, I expect I would still be single.

I have resigned myself to the fact that this is the end of the road for my bloodline. I am an only child. I get approached by the female but once I open my mouth, they're gone.

I can relate, but at least you can actually work up the nerve to open your mouth.

I have three Sisters but one doesnt talk to me and the other two have life controling issues that get me down. My partner the father of my child is dead so..
LOVE ME LOVE ME

I would, but I'm too young...

Well, I have PDD-NOS and like you I've never dated anybody in my life (so far) and I'm four years younger than you. I still get (a little) enveous when I see a couple walking by thinking, "Dammit! That should be me!" I think (IMO) some girls have bad taste in men. And I finally realized that you don't need a girlfriend to be happy.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

A lot of people have trouble with relationships. It's not just an aspie thing it's a people thing. I do know what you mean about like checking to make sure people still like you. I'm definitely someone that always constantly needs some sort of affection to be happy. Not necessarily sexually, but just some form of people showing that they care. Like hugs give me this huge sense of comfort. Or even like a pat on the head can help a lot. I always seem to need that constant reassurance, and I think romantic relationships obviously help with that. As for me, I've only been in one semi-serious relationship in my life. But, I will tell you, like has been posted one of the most common mistakes people make about relationships is that it will complete them. It really really won't. A relationship is very comforting to have, but unless you find a way to appreciate yourself, I don't think you can ever be fully happy. I think that's the main key to happiness more than anything, is fully accepting yourself for what you are. Good luck with everything, and I hope I wasn't just rambling on for too long. XD

I've been in love, unrequited.

At last, someone understands! I salute you.

No your not.
