| I consider myself a feminist. I didn't always though - I mean I always believed in feminist ideals but I was afraid of the word. I know that sounds silly but seriously how many people say "I believe in gender equality but I'm not a feminist." We're kind of taught to believe that feminists are "bra-b... |

| Good to know! My nervous habit used to be biting my nails. I still do that, but since I cut my hair short I always push it back or brush through it when I'm nervous. I really wanted to at least establish familiarity before thanksgiving break when we're off for a week. Now that I got through that it ... |

| thanks so much for all the advice - I finally talked to the guy today! I mean I know it's not the only guy out there and I shouldn't put everything on it, it does kind of make me happy because I was so mad at myself lately for being so shy. Granted, it was in a group of severak itger people while we... |

LOL yeah, it's from the song. They're one of my favorite bands too! |

| Thanks so much for all the advice! I was feeling really down yesterday and this has made me feel a little better. But if we are consumed by worry over how we will be perceived, that overwhelms the delight and shows as stress rather than pleasure. ... Don't approach anyone dreading the possible respo... |

| Like licking him. I LOL'd! But besides that, yeah just the normal butterflies in the stomach, I get all hot and sweaty, my face gets red, etc. It's actually quite embarrassing - I'm an adult female but I act like a pre-pubescent boy around tasty guys! I think it's partly an aspie thing because of m... |

| So I would've put this in love&dating but I would rather have a female answer this. Anyway, to start off I'm a 20 year old, female college student who's never had a boyfriend and has no sexual history. So there's this guy in 2 of my classes in school and I've been eyeing him since the beginning ... |

| I'm happy to see positive responses on here. I'm 20 and have never dated anybody and have no sexual history to speak of. Sometimes I'm afraid I'll end up alone and be unhappy. Not that I need a man to be happy, I just want to at least experience having a significant other. I've had a HORRIBLE histor... |

| Yeah, not what I expected either. I liked it though, and think they did a really good job. I thought they would just parody people with asperger's, but it seemed more like they parodied society's view of it and I thought it was really good. I think it would've been better, though, if they had done i... |

| I am SO excited! For a while I was actually offended that they HADN'T parodied Asperger's - okay that's an exaggeration, but South Park is supposed to be an equal opportunity offender. I think it's great because South Park is one of the best satirical shows ever, and if anyone can get Asperger's rig... |

| I'm 19, been kissed twice, but have HORRIBLE luck with guys. I've been on one or two dates, but every guy that has some kind of interest in me automatically loses it or simply ignores me after a few weeks. I guarantee it's because of my awkwardness. I generally come off as cold or uninterested becau... |
