My daughter (NT-b) has a friend (NT-a) who started dating an aspie young man. He is totally smitten with NT-a and vulnerable. NT-a is not that into him and can be a mean person. NT-a feels he is not payng any attention to her and does all the talking. NT-b has gone along on the date and was emotionally supportive of the aspie young man who went from saying "I think the date is going well" to beating himself up emotionally about the date going downhill. NT-b also listened to NT-a talk about how he is not "paying any attention to me".
Nt-a will probably refuse to go on a date with him unless in a group as I believe she thinks he is boring. I recommended telling him to give her his undivided attention, ask her questions and encourage her to talk.
My daughter is afraid to see him get hurt. Any suggestions or thoughts on what is best for him?
