They are just two people with different notions about things.


He hasn’t called it stalking but it sure sounds like it to me if he’s suggesting that a guy “just knows,” in his own mind that a girl “wants him to follow her around the city,” and then he does that, catching glimpses o her at train stations and beaches.. beaches he found by scribing lines on a map until his “sense of direction,” tells him that he’s somehow used geometry & telepathy to locate where she’s going to be.

This crap sounds straight up like Russel Crowe’s character in “A Beautiful Mind,” when he’s losing his grip on reality.


Speaking as a woman, if I found out some guy who lived near me and saw me around town decided that we were in a "relationship" because he "just knows" it to be true due to some sort of telepathic connection, I would label that guy a creep and find a new neighborhood ASAP.


Yeah, and then you too failed to see that this was just something goldfish came up with himself. Has nothing to do with reality.


:lol: *backpedal backpedal* now that you e been called out for strange creepy behaviour that should Never be dispensed as relationship advice to anyone, ever.

Strange creepy behavior ... belief in telepathy ... made-up "evidence" ... what next?

The thing is, I've shared a large number of links I like (many which she evaluated and liked or not), I've written 1000s of posts for her, and she follows me on several forums, very likely including this. She sent me 10 new "letters" just after I posted the background info here (that goldie failed to read). She has sent me a large number of letters and short messages from a dating site, containing many of her preferences. She has shared many links and groups on Facebook.

So, it is hardly the case that we don't know each other. Rather, we know each other very well.

As long as she reciprocates.

I don't think that is up to you to decide. Your credibility is approaching zero when you fail to correct the assumptions you've made on faulty evidence. I suppose you learned to gossip too when you become NT. Not a nice trait, IMHO.

I think goldie and fnord are just jealous. If things go well, I could end up in a very worthwhile long-term relationship. We don't need to talk about feelings. We can set up meetings at a distance (and change them, or tell we are late). If one of us get in trouble, the other will know immediately. If we visit an unknown place, we can go separate ways and find each other easily whenever we like. We will know each other's wishes and desires without having to talk about them, especially if they feel uncomfortable to talk about. If we are in a company, we could exchange information & opinions without anybody knowing, so we don't have to wait until afterward. It's a dream come true for somebody that is ND, and well worth the effort behind it.

I can very well understand if they don't want anybody else to experience this either. That would make their NT adaptions in the relationship area seem rather dysfunctional.

No, lately, we usually part ways at the train station, and then I sit at a distance and watch her train leave.

You also wrote that you scribed lines on a map until you came up with some geometric pattern that honed in on her seaside location and then went to go see if she was there.


Nope. I knew she was at that location, and so did several measurements at a distance and plotted them on a map. I then told her about the location in cryptical terms in a post. After that, we have met several times at the nearby shopping center. We also walked on a nearby beach a few times during summer. We visited an event at another nearby beach.

This is a really messed up way to think.


Agreed. Someone needs to learn that only his own reactions to and thoughts about NT’s can make him miserable. NT’s do not go out of their way to make him, or any of us, feel miserable.*

*Aside from the occasional bully. Some people are just jerks.

do u think people on the spectrum should be legally banned from reproduction just curious

I haven't had such luck. I've had to actually "do the work" to get a date. I guess my 5 foot 5 frame has something to do with that.....

No.

But I don’t think it’s appropriate to donate sperm with the hopes that you make NT’s lives difficult with a low functioning ASD child.

Oh I get what this is doing now.

Every single guy = creepy & desperate. Simple as that. Blacklist. Goodbye. Now that dating is reduced to a finite pool of yes/no votes, those of us personally invested in the real world are pariahs.

Trouble is, this is the only way anyone ever decides if they're not single. It's 100% arbitrary, always was, has been & will be. The only legitimizing factor is when 2 or more people jump on this train of thought.

Guys being honest about our thoughts = creepy. We know that & it's the primary driving force behind 'toxic masculinity' - we're taught to be ashamed of our biology.

Your biology doesn’t make you a creep. :roll:

Your behaviour may, though.

Would you stop perpetuating this double standard? There is no female equivalent I can think of & it does nothing to reconcile anybody.

If you're purporting to be helping the rest of us, start by not dragging us through the mud.
