| I usually don't bother reading the textbook or anything--I head straight for the problem sets assigned during the term and work through those. If I don't understand how to do something, that's when I go back and review the applicable chapter(s)/notes. If the question requires calculations, I don't b... |

| I visited some of the sites you mentioned, but dating is not high enough on my list of priorities for me to pay for a membership. I would be entirely satisfied to spend my life alone. More than anything, I suppose, I am curious as to what it would be like to have friends like in books or television ... |

| I recently made the decision to end my voluntary celibacy (a sexual sabbatical, if you will). I feel as if I've come into myself over the past two years and have a better idea of what I want out of a potential partner and our relationship. I am not sure how to proceed from here. I dislike the predat... |

| I think that the person the OP quoted is just fishing for a reason for why he has been rejected. The guy seems like he has terrible self-esteem, little respect for women, a screwed-up idea about how mature relationships work. Not to mention the fact that he seems to want to blame everyone but himsel... |

| Had to look up something which described the rating: "Refused Classification, or RC-rated material includes child sex abuse content, bestiality, sexual violence including rape and the detailed instruction of crime or drug use." Let's see, a case could be made then that Shakespeare's plays, the Bibl... |

| I have two toy poodles, both of whom I adore. They are my best friends. I think I would be perfectly content with only canine companionship for the rest of my life. Every day I get home, they drop whatever they are doing to greet me. It's nice to be so important. Poodles are smart, friendly, and the... |

| I think it depends on the state, but because a foreign language are generally a requirement for university admission, most high schools tend to offer it. I took French from grades two through twelve in Pennsylvania, and I quite enjoy being able to speak another language. |

| One factor that no one's mentioned yet, although it has nothing to do with AS, is that a lot of interviewers suck at interviewing. They have no idea what the best questions to ask are, and they might be as nervous as you are.. Agreed. Though for many entry-level jobs, particularly in large retail c... |

| Hoping to make 20-60K in 2-3 years with only a HS degree in this economy is a little unrealistic. Right now, I go to school (full time) and work two jobs (averaging 25-35 hrs/wk at one and 10 hrs/wk at the other), and I still make only about $13K per year (over half of which goes directly to pay my ... |

| Thank you :) I loved this reply, you have a lovely tone to the way you phrase things. I know of course that labels are for apples and it doesn't matter what I call myself. I'm more concerned about accurately ascertaining what I feel and want and getting it. I do want a woman - sexually, I know that... |

| It sounds like a real cop-out answer, but the only person who can give you an identity/label is you. I used to joke with my ex-girlfriend when she was struggling with the same sort of thing that I would love her even if her sexuality was "grapefruit." While labels are helpful in narrowing down the s... |

| How do you handle death and grief? I only ask because my mum's cousin died on Friday and everyone else was quite upset by it. Naturally, my response when my mum told me Ben was dead was, "well, people die. It happens." And then I made myself lunch and prepped for my Calculus class while she phoned t... |

| I am almost constantly in front of the mirror. I guess I like being able to 'check' the expressions I'm making when I do certain things. Sometimes I practice conversations I need to have. Mostly it's obsessing over my appearance and mad dancing, though. |
