So I have my first girlfriend and she's amazing. I've dated before but this is the first time I have ever wanted to actually date a girl. And now my concern is how do ingest over physical touch barriers? Cause I know that's always hard for people like us where we want to give them a hug or hold a girls hand but it just feels so weird for us, so foreign. So I'm just wondering what's the best way to get over that. Appreciate it guys :)

Talk to her about physical touch and that you want to go about it in small steps

It takes some time to establish barriers and a mutual understanding. It may take more than a year for your girlfriend to completely understand how to not touch you. My girlfriend still rubs me the wrong way occasionally after 7 months but she does not mean to. She now knows why I get irritated right away and does not get offended by it much anymore. The longer you are with her, the more comfortable you will be with her touching you.

Thanks guys I did talk to her about it so she has kind of an idea, but I don't think she 100% understand and probably never will since she's considered an NT. I guess I'll wait it out and see what happens, any other advice?

Actually, I several "first" girlfriends. I dated my next door neighbor and ended being passed around her friends. I liked it being passed around like a party favor.

Overcoming the touch barrier takes guts. You have to force yourself to do it.

They were objectifying you and mocking you at the same time because of your weakness to be manipulated and used through your sex drive.

As long as you are consensually aware of that..

They were far from mocking me. I was the love machine at neighbors school. I probably dated every single of her friends. I was dating more at her high school than my high school. At my prom I took her and her friend. At hers, I was her escort one of her friends. It was a very difficult choice to choose.

Passing you around like a piece of meat to be objectified and used is hardly what I would equate to a respectful and loving relationship but at the age, we do not truly know ourselves.

I am surprised that your mentality has not matured and you feel the need to boast in a forum where many struggle with relationships and romance but each to their own.

I have Aspergers but I do not let interfere in my love life and who I date. I have learned to overcome any fears.

I am glad for you but try to be respectful that many do not have that choice or privilege..

For many, it effects the ability to engage or maintain relationships and it can effect the ability to be touched by others. For some people, getting one loving relationship or girlfriend for the first time is an achievement because everyone is at different levels. It isn't a competition..

I just don't understand how your original post was productive to Speedy Alvin. It seemed like a reflection of your own vanity and pride.

Thanks for the compliment. :D There was a time I was in my shell, but Aspies need to experience the richness of life. Hiding does not work. Last Month, I went to Carson City and I asked the band leader if I could join and play the keyboards/piano. If was afraid at first because that I had not played in front a large audience in a long time. But the aprehension went away as the hours progressed.

That is commendable but what is simple for you isn't simple for everyone else.

You should really stop addressing people like this. It's because of awful perverts like you that girls get jaded.
