| Sectorstar, I agree with what you said. I don't believe in sort of thing either. Although there are ways of improving ones chances no matter the starting point, nothing is guaranteed. I know of some people (NTs included) who have been single most or even all of their lives. |

Hi Bluemax, no I did not. It was a lunch date and we went to look at some artwork.
It is generally considered inadvisable to sleep with someone on the first date and there is a lot of supportive testimony to that effect, but I did that with two out of three of my exs! |

| OK. I will do this tomorrow when my mood has improved. I figure that considering that I have already written this off as an abject failure, any outright rejection would just confirm this rather than adding to my indignities as such. I have ordered some Chicken Tikka Masala and a large tub of ice cre... |

| Yeah - maybe not. I should have a new tagline - Balletnerd the Datekiller. I dream of waking up NT just so I could see what it is like to have fun on dates, have a non stop pick of suitable men, enjoying the apple basket as someone put it. The logical thing for me to do, given my probability of ever... |

| Hi Mr Boo, The way it was - I decided I liked him so I was just always hanging around trying to find excuses to talk to him or help him with something. As I am used to having to be the one to do the approaching, I was trying to psyche myself up for ages to ask him for a date - more or less as soon a... |

| I've blown it with the guy I was dating. I don't know how or why - he won't tell me but he's stopped calling me or texting me now. I don;t understand it it wasn;t like I was bombarding him with texts or writing out a whole years diary worth of dates, planning our wedding or anything. I thought we ha... |

Quote: You seem to attract a lot of people.That's one positive thing.
I guess it would be for people who favour quantity of interest rather than quality! Its like the Benny Hill show sketch gone badly wrong. |

Why be normal - be extraordinary!
But seriously, someone said exactly the same thing to me while I was at school (a long time before I had heard of Aspergers syndrome) and it really upset me. These ignorant people arent worth a bean. |

| Me, usually. My appearance is conventional fashionable feminine but it's when I open my mouth to talk it's when other people make the assumption. Depsite being dyslexic, I have a very large vocabulary which I can't always spell correctly but in speech sounds impressive to most. Someone once describe... |

I'm 36 - I know it sounds ungrateful as there would be lots of women who like these sorts, but I am only sexually attracted to people around my own age or slightly... |
