Deep down I know he likes me (although I'm not sure how much) but I think you are all right when you say he is probably not ready for a relationship. I'll try much harder not to be hurt when he acts all aloof around me. There is no point me trying to push him to making something happen, so I might as well try to relax. If it happens, it happens.

LostLady, I can soooo relate! It's very difficult with the mixed signals, and what's worse, apparently some Aspies lose quite a bit of their sex drive, though I don't understand why. I have an Aspie friend who came on VERY strong with me, then like a switch he stopped. When I asked him about it (I was blunt; it seems to work best to communicate that way), he just told me that his libido was gone and he was sorry for the confusing signals. Just be aware that, in addition to the communication challenges, you MIGHT be in for some frustration if you take your friendship to a more intimate level because of libido dips that can last a long time.
Best luck to you and your friend.
