You'd have to ask them about the first one.
For the second, I've been accused of having intentions I didn't have, but not to any more degree than anyone else I think. Why is something you'd have to ask them.

All of them, except for number 9, I think. To be honest, I'm not really sure if I'm considered attractive or not; I get a ton of mixed feedback on that one.

In short, yes, I've experienced all of those at some time or another. The most annoying one is the last one; my mother sometimes thinks I'm just being belligerent when I think my inqiries are perfectly valid.

All of that, except for 9 - I'm not physically attractive. And I don't even try to find dates.

this is why i explain to people that i'm an aspie and i might not socialize with them sometimes. Not to take it personal and if they don't like it they can go find someone else to waste their breath on.
