The only thing I could add to this thread is to say, that all people have various levels of social achievement whether it's having many friends, dating frequently or even getting married.Overall everyoe falls into one of those ideals or maybe not just stating that all persons have his/her potential..


Sincerely Spoken,

Yes. I'm in one. It's fantastic 96% of the time, and the other 4% is just me being a spaz :?
Note that the relationship happiness is different than my actual level of affection which is 100% :elephant:

I have no real desire to be in a relationship. I am decent enough looking and within the crowd I spend some time with, I get asked out frequently enough -- not to mention people I've never met assuming that hitting on me is a good idea.

Most of the people who know me well (better than seeing me hang about another person and ignore everyone else as I tend to) don't bother asking me out. When people get to know me, they tend to not ask me out. (mostly me being blunt and aloof as well as vanishing for day on end when I need my space) Half my friends assume I'm asexual and I am almost inclined to agree.

I've been in relationships before but two things tend to dominate as an issue. 1. I have a very low sexual drive and don't desire physical intimacy. 2. I tend to only spend time with one person at once so I often merely spend time with that one person I'm dating and NOODY else. In all cases, they have been more social and wanted to "spend time with a group of people, not just alone.

All in all, when I've dated people in the past, it's pretty much been me hanging out with a friend with no real desire for anything more.

About being in a relationship is that you actually have to put forth effort for, it's not going to work on it's own as such.Still, When I was last involved I placed 100% of my being into such and sincerely tried to not to make as many tactical errors as, I've done over the years now since that time..I suppose when one is willing to put forth effort it tends to help make one more conscious of various things atleast, it's my own opinion .. :oops:

I'm in a relationship with an Asperger syndrome woman and I have been with her for 4 years since July 13th 2015. We communicate really well. Better than the other relationships I been in and in those I was the only one putting in the effort into it which was ironic because I was the autistic one. That was difficult with the previous ones because they were not autistic and wouldn't really want any thing to do with it. However I am in a better relationship and it helps with communication because we both have Asperger syndrome. Even her mum gets on with me. I am pretty sure we will have many happy years together.

I am in a relationship with a girl who has Aspergers . I am somewhere else on the spectrum but we still understand each other quite well. We get along very well. We help each other with stuff. She does most of the socializing when we go out, for example she will ask questions for me because I am really shy when it comes to that stuff. She also helps me with my homework. I help her by being a good listener. She says I don't judge and I don't interrupt. My parents are a bit nervous about me being in a relationship though because they worry about my emotional maturity. They have talked to my girlfriend about this. My parents are a bit overprotective

I'm engaged. But we haven't planned a wedding yet because neither of us can decide on how we want our wedding. We've not got the money for a big wedding. It feels like a project and is rather stressful. But I do want to tie the knot.

I'm single.

I'd like a partner, but I'm not looking. It's kind of complicated.
