This is a problem for me too. I've already confirmed at least one missed opportunity. I'll take a stab though.

If the girl shows an interest in you specifically when in a group, or likes to talk to you one on one or in private, she may be interested in you.

Again, I have the same problem, so you'll probably get better advice from someone else. Hope it helps.

WrongPlanet is probably the last place you'll find useful advice on this :lol:. Whenever I get the suspicion that a girl possibly likes me, especially one that I'm interested in, I become a nervous wreck. I've been kept awake into the early hours of the morning sometimes just because some girl that day had seemed to glance at me a second longer than normal. I make huge things out of this tiny stuff, and I can never become sure about what she really means.

Sorry, I've got no useful advice.

Hey, i might be able to help here. seeing as i practically needed to shout it from the rooftops to get my other half to notice i liked him!!

If i'm interested in someone i'll go out of my way to talk to them, in a group i will try and engage them in one to one conversation.

Body language wise i'll lean towards them and smile alot more than usual.

Hope that helps guys

As an aspergian girl, I have tell you I have no idea. I know that when I really like a guy, I get so nervous that I act like a complete dingaling and am rarely myself.

All of you guys with AS, is there any particular thing you can say about your attraction to girls? Because there's this one guy I've liked for about four years now, and I'm pretty sure he has AS. Not only does he match up with every symptom, but I think I heard some teacher's say it one time when they were talking to each other (don't blame me for eavesdropping because this was so long ago I can't even remember if I was truly eavesdropping or if I just stumbled upon the conversation, although eavesdropping is very rude). Anyway, I've just always wondered how the minds of AS guys work towards those they are attracted to and this seemed a very appropriate thread to ask it.

LOL, I feel a little better now! Thank god I am not alone.

Duuude, not only do I become a nervous wreck, lose sleep, and become obsessed over weather or not a person could possibly have been expressing interest in me, but my brain turns the whole thing into a science. Sometimes I end up going over countless examples of how this person acts on a regular basis and how that has or has not changed over time. Then I end up comparing the data in my head to as many other people that I can recall that I have interacted with in the past. It is hilarious that I continually put myself through this torture because all the data ALWAYS ends up inconclusive.

It's nice to be able to laugh about it now, but it really is a horrible thing to go through. Hehehe.

I tend to over hear conversations about it, and it's pretty obvious when a guy acts really stupid around you.

But I never bother to let guys know that I like them, for some reason. Guess I don't really care.

If you don't know or are unsure, just ask her out, doesn't hurt to try, lose nothing gain perhaps something, and something is better then nothing if it works.

Well, i went for the old 'my friend likes your friend' bit and got one of my mates to approach him while i wasn't there!
Luckily it turned out he fancied me too but just didn't know how to go about approaching me.

That's the perfect word to summarize my entire experience with girls: inconclusive. God I'm such a loser :roll:

I'm a girl, and I have no better luck with guys.

I have realized afterwards (usually after other people mention something) that there may have been a few times guys have approached me. At the time, however, I was utterly clueless.

I've pretty much given up. Its obviously never going to happen with me so I really don't care.

But if girls ever talk to me and keep it up (yell at me in the hall saying stuff like "You better come to class I've missed you") or spying on me when I am doing stuff, I'll think just a TAD bit that they kind of like me.

All of this has happened to me within the past year, but I really don't think much about it.

Hope that helps

Not as clueless as me: When I did one of my University interviews (King's College Cambridge it was - not that I'm boasting about my fabulous academic capabilities or anything :)) back when I was 17, a (for what its worth, very attractive) girl who was also being interviewed and who was staying overnight in the room next to me knocked on my door at 9pm and asked me if I wanted "to have breakfast with her tomorrow"..... I replied that I had to catch an early train next morning and was going to have to have breakfast on the move, so I politely had to decline - she looked a little put out to say the least which confused me no end at the time, as I did have to catch an early train..... It was only thinking about it years later that I started to think that there might have been a subtext in her proposal - it just completely whooshed over my head at the time......
