I thought you were watching movies and fooling around with women? Why do you need an internet girlfriend? You ever watch the news? It's most likely an old guy named Spike anyway.

Lucky is a guy who has a real life girlfriend that he can touch and have face to face conversation with, not a 2,000 mile relationship with a homosexual guy or overweight girl. What girl that looks like her would want an internet boyfriend? It's common sense.

I was. Not anymore thoughhh.

& i seriously doubt it's an old guy, they usually pretend to be mid-teen girls, not 19 yr old ones haha. & if that's an old guy then he must be a professional actor too. Because she is most definitely an aspie, and bullshitting that part in how you act and speak isn't so simple.

I can think of a few reasons. One of which is she says she's never met another aspie before, maybe she likes that she can be herself with me. Also, since she's really shy, maybe she favors long-distance relationships because there's relatively little face-to-face interaction except for the occasional visits :wink: , this seems to be supported by the fact that she told me her 3 other relationships were also long distance. Her ex lived in Europe if that's any indication :lol:

And of course we're all exactly like you, LM, and all exactly the same...

...or maybe he didn't have as bad an experience in school as you did (kids these days get diagnosed as children, and have some appropriate programs available - it's not like when we were kids and Bruno Bettelheim still had followers), and he met some actual friends in school. It does happen sometimes, you know.

Also, the starting post wasn't "look how perfect I am", it was "look how lucky I am". I don't know why some folks can't stand to see this kid find a little happiness in this world...

Yes, but an early diagnosis can't cure immaturity. No social skills training on earth can cure immaturity. That's why no high school (or College) girl wants an Aspie boy and that's why most Aspie boys never go to College.

We have the misdiagnosed aspies as well, not all aspies are correctly diagnosed, i never showed signs of AS before a few grades up in elementary.

I'm not trying to rain on his parade, I'm just being realistic. A girl that looks like that wouldn't look for random friends from other states on myspace and certainly wouldn't want an internet boyfriend.

A year or two ago when I was bored and had nothing better to do, I just stole pics from someone's myspace and pretended to be a hot girl just to see the responses I'd get and laugh at the guys who actually thought they were talking to a hot girl. It's very easy to pretend to be someone you aren't on the internet. So for him to be on cloud nine because he has an internet girlfriend that he's never met and likely won't meet for months or years, yes, we have a right to be cynical.

That's crap, I've had a two girlfriends (one Aspie one NT) and I'm going to college too. I'm 15 BTW.

Ah serendipity!! !

Though the odds of mistakenly adding a random person on a site is slightly enlarged if the people involved have ADHD :wink:

good luck, you guys seem really good together!

To find out if the person is real or not is fairly easy, just phone her, I'm sure you can tell the difference between the voice of a 50 year old man and a 16 year old girl.

To be totally sure, have a webcam chat, simples.

It doesen't matter if these conversations are under a minute long (if you're both nervous or crap with phone conversations or whatever), you'll establish that she is who she says.

Even if by some slight chance she were real, why would you want an internet girlfriend that lives on the other side of the country? The OP isn't a bad looking guy and has met women in real life before. I think he's just happy that he thinks he met a hot girl that has Aspergers. If the girl showed her real pic and he saw that she was ugly (if it is a she) he wouldn't be talking to her.
