| Well, first thing you need to do is get the authorities involved. The people who did this to you should be arrested. The second thing you should do is enroll in self-defense classes. I started learning jiu-jitsu and I'm very happy with the results. The best part is, you will no longer be afraid of p... |

I got 18.
The trick is to not even look at the mouth. When the smile is genuine, there are involuntary muscle contractions at the corner of the eye. It's very hard to fake that particular movement, so always look at the eyes. |

| Personally, I'd prefer to be nice and tactful in telling her to leave me alone. Can this approach work? Has it worked against males? Will it work against a female? I'd hate to trigger her into psycho mode. So, what is the best thing to do in this situation? (--Wow! Finally, the table has turned, I'... |

| Here's the main conundrum: many times the creeper just wants to get a response from you. It doesn't matter if you're response is positive or negative; she simply wants you to acknowledge her existence. Even if you tell her that she's not welcome to text anymore, she may get defensive and angry and j... |

| For me it is verbal comprehension which in turn leads to social problems. I can't have a decent conversation with someone when I zone out or get lost. I'm much better now that I'm an adult. |

| It could be that since you are more mature, you are also more honest with your own strengths and weaknesses. I had a similar experience with the AQ. I think most aspie teenagers are not socially conscious enough to make an accurate judgement on their own abilities. It's also much less painful if you... |

| Crushes can be almost instantaneous but loving someone is something that grows over a much, much longer period of time. Yes, I myself sometimes fail to make the distinction. When I went to the shelter to pick out my puppy it was pretty much love at first sight. In my experience, romantic love takes... |

| I'd say I'm just really choosy, so it's not so much a matter of speed. I don't develop crushes frequently, but occasionally it happens. I followed through on my last crush and lucky for me, he accepted. |
