Aspies, how do you act when you feel like you're in love?

Not much changes externally. I look at them more. That's pretty much it. However, my brain and friends are bombarded with poetic insight and observations about how a creature can be made so beautiful.

Uhm.... I make more poetry, I focus a few of my day-to-day decisions around her (Hmm... Should I part my hair in the middle, or on the side? Ugh... I'll do my homework, if only because she wants me to... Hmm.. I'll write this message because I know she'll see it... Et cetera), I quickly become more attached, perhaps a bit clingy, and yes, a bit paranoid when there are unexplained absences. But when I say paranoid, I mean that I think she might have had something bad happen to her, whether it be through her family, in an accident where she's hurt herself, or something else out of her control.

I also have a more honest smile.

Sociopathic attraction. Not me. When I fall for someone it's usually after I know a fair amount about them, as I don't tend to fall lightly. Those men I have loved, I still love just as much and most likely always will (same goes for material items). I research the he# out of things too much, it's probably why I'm a better judge of character than the average person on the spectrum. My means of finding a way around that road block.

How do I act? Well, if I suddenly become childish, awkward, giggly and irrational, you can be pretty sure I'm in love. Obviously, such behaviour almost never leads to anything that resembles a relationship. And after the craziness is over, I regret having been so stupid. That's how it usually works with me.

Whenever I feel like I've had greater success courting a woman than I normally do (e.g. she actually gives me her phone number or e-mail address), I feel like I'm on top of the world, only to feel deflated later on when I discover she was only interested in me as a platonic friend.

well i've only had 2 serious girlfriends and when we've been at the part where we've said "i love you" then i did everything i could to make them happy and i was always very cuddly, but it all ended in tears when they both left me for another guy, apparently they couldn't deal with my AS and i was too clingy. it really annoys me because i hear girls complain that they wish their guy was more attentive and cuddly, i always think: i'm right here! seriously is there something stopping girls from seeing me?

With my ex girlfriend~ I was very obsessed & very needy & clingy. I lost focus on other areas in my life & I went out of my way to be helpful to her even if it was not in my best interest. I kept having lots of panic attacks worrying about things with her & I had a mental breakdown when things feel apart between us. I was told my a few experts after that I was codependent amongst other things.

With my current(2nd & will be my last girl)~ I am very obsessed. I was very needy & clingy & losing focus on other things for a bit but I started an anxiety medication because I started having panic attacks & now I'm mostly just obsessed. Apparently being really needy & clingy & losing focus on everything else was related to my anxiety. I am still a little clingy & needy & find it hard to focus on other things when we are chatting but I'm able to focus on other things when I have to & resit those needy clingy behaviors & I'm more functional with life than I was before her. Now I'm more sensitive, affectionate & very sweet than needy & clingy

All my autistic symptoms of over-stimulation disappeared, I felt completely safe and could sleep for the first time in my life. I mean actual love, not infatuation or whatever.

sounds like crazy talk to me . How can some one who's so in to themselves "love" somebody else. why would you anyways, nobody can be trusted., have you lot not learned a thing?

this crazy talk makes me want to barf.
