If she's willing to the stab you in the back, she should be willing to stab you in the front, do you really want someone who is a gossiper?

how did she abuse him? he had no right to read that.

She abused him by withholding information and gossiping, she should have been more forthcoming in her rejection otherwise she could end up framing this guy as a stalker for simply being attracted to her.

how do we know he is not a stalker? i mean, probably not, but you're jumping to conclusions.

nobody owes anyone else an explanation when they are rejected. it is not abusive to simply ignore someone who persists. he already knew how she felt, but kept pursuing her anyways.

Did she make it direct to him or was she simply leading him down the garden path because she liked the attention? We don't know enough information from what the thread creator has posted. If she did make her feelings clear and he continued to persist, it is probably his fault.

If I look at it from her perspective, it might be difficult to reject a person if they come across as a stalker as they may lash out in a passive aggressive manner and if she is a petite girl that is worried about a response, I could understand why she might withhold certain information or how she really feels about him.

he knew that she was creeped out by him. it's what he said in the OP.

In any case, this makes a good point that people on the spectrum shouldn't become emotionally attached or obsessed too easily and need to break away from that fall hard, fall fast mentality.

I come back and there's a ton of posts. :0 Lots of us really do become obsessed with our crushes/relationships. It's so tough to figure out when you're being too clingy/obsessive, because it's what we are used to in our special interests and most of our lifestyle in general.

Hm, not really, not for me at least.

But again, I am not the most emotionally-blossomed 30 years old person, so maybe this is right for most cases.

My point was that the onus is on you to prove that he is a stalker, not on him to prove that he isn't. I don't know, for example, that you aren't an axe-muderer. Should I be cautious that you might be?

i didn't say he was a stalker. but in some of his past posts he said he might be considered one. i have no idea if he is or not, but i don't see why it should be ruled out if he isn't even sure himself.

Have you ever tried to get a girlfriend? A woman in her late 20's (with some exeptions) doesn't usually care how "cool" you are, whether you're friends with night club owners or whether your rich parents buy you a BMW. They're a lot more mature than teenage girls.

Never let a girl string you along with the "let's be friends instead" crap, if she just wants to use you to vent all her problems, then cut contact and try again with a new girl.
