| Yes, please? Looks like most aspie guys (and I think most introverted guys with half a brain in general) would love to be asked out by someone they were interested in. Honestly, anyone I like reasonably well would probably get a positive response if they were to ask me out. At worst, it's a chance t... |

| I'm the same as beyondtheinfinite. Since learning about it, I've spent a lot of effort to improve my use of eye contact, especially in contexts where it might be particularly important. I do think this has resulted in some improvement. |

| shopaholic: Honestly, whatever works for you, as long as you're honest about what's going on with all parties involved and they're okay with it. That's pretty much the central tenet of polyamory as I see it: whatever form it takes, whatever the terms, everyone has to agree to them and be honest abou... |

| Oh, forgive me if I attempted to call my position normal. I realize I'm quite "out there" as far as that goes. I think jealousy in any form is a sign of some degree of possessiveness. After all, if you don't "claim" the sole right to certain types of affection at some level, you wouldn't feel put ou... |

| Definitely helps to smile. Hair's a matter of taste, but according to mine you could use more of it. Aside from that, you look fine to me. |

| I'm not sure I could ever get into the whole polymory thing, I just feel that there is something about a relationship that means it should be just you and your partner. In my eyes it's irritating enough when a partner talks of a previous sexual relationship with someone else in front of you, so I c... |

| I was looking at the discussions here, and noticed a thread about cheating. I have several friends who are in relationships that have different terms from the standard monogamous arrangement, and thus different definitions for what, if anything, might constitute "cheating." I'm curious about whether... |

| [NOTE: I haven't read all 15 pages of replies to this, so forgive me if this is redundant.] I think there is a lot of value in what you have to say here, but I really dislike the "Cocky-Funny" paradigm of responses. You say that this is not about dishonesty, but C-F says something about the person u... |

| Hello everyone. I learned about this site long ago, but for some reason never got around to registering. I just now decided I might as well hop on and see what's what on here. And since there is a place to post introductions, I'll say a bit about myself. I'm 25, male, diagnosed Aspie in 2001, comput... |
