More recently I spending more time with my female NT friends for them getting a chance to get to know each others especially in two different perspectives. This is very reflective that I am not being negative. Giving NT friends a chance to get to you know, but being negative is scaring them away!

Are you interested in any of your NT friends?

Currently I'm attracted to a NT high school friend of mine who I always used to hangout with at lunch, sometimes after school at his place. I've never had the chance to take it anywhere further since I had one boyfriend in the way, throughout my whole high school career. Now that we're both adults and I'm single, I think it's a good time to (lol) seduce him.

Not sure how I'll go about doing that in person, but so far we've been talking on Facebook daily and he's invited me over on his own a couple of times. I haven't gone over yet, (it's been a while) because I want to go shopping and look my best to make a new first impression on him.

Why worry?
If they do waste their time, great. If not, then what? Then they don't...

I used to, even at my first uni. I found that I am scaring friends away if I say I liked them and ask for a date. That didn't work. So some female friends now, they do know about the like part. They know I am a dateless virgin. They are happy by who I am. Though they aware of these kind of situation. I am pretty sure NTs have similar experiences as aspies do.

So we are friends for now, probably will stay that way in the case of something may happen. We agreed that we want to stay single for a while because of uni and work career. It seems that my circle of friends have a better commitments in their lives than who those I met at my first uni. I think its a difference between living in a country and city unis and environment. In a city, it seems more people are focusing on themselves and be patience of something to happen.

I am interested in one female NT friend because she is attractive. She knew this and she want to stay friends. Probably early days. But I won't take it much about it. Just giving times a chance. I know many cases that best friends can get married after long time of being friends beforehand, like my sister friend who been friends with a guy for 7 years and they are together married now. It is a case for everyone, not just NTs.

For aspies like myself, it will take time for NT female friends to get to know me. It always going to be like this way. Getting to know each others in a good day and share experiences. This is a part of getting closer. I have a best mate, a NT guy. Been best friends for 12 years, since first year of high school. It pretty much like that way in a very good context.

So think about giving NT a chance to understand you by being assertive. I find assertiveness a proactive approach to overcome your personal issues because it makes you confidence and comfortable.

Yeah, but you can't marry yourself unfortunately :(
But what if you could clone yourself and in the sequence remove the y chromosome and add another x chromosome and voila you have a female clone of yourself you can marry!?

I am an aspie, high functioning ASD. To answer this question:
1. NTs do not like spending time with a 'negatively' minded aspies
2. It not that NTs waste their time with aspies because they would also waste their time with wrong NT person!
3. If you have a career pathway, and is proactive; saying they are wasting their times with an aspie means you are actually wasting your time with wrong NT person.

I always thought why NT cannot deal with me. Like I never had a date nor sex. But my friends told me they are in same situation. They are all NTs. They aren't wasting their times with me being around.

Why they aren't wasting their time with me?
This is because I am a happy and positive like minded person. I do not use my disabilities (including my hearing loss - I have to wear hearing aids) to make an excuse of issues between myself and them. They look past my disabilities upon reflection of my positive attitudes. I learn so much about the cues from them, including my family of understanding things such as someone need a hand to help and so on. It not about trying to impress them because you think they are going to see you being fully capable kind of person. It that they think and see you as a kind and special kind of person. We share experiences together, learning communication skills and perspectives. This is very much needed approach from many of you aspies!

Many friends and family always told me I am special because it is the way who I am. I never say I am special (unlike now) to everyone. They see it me. Life is a gift, and use it with people.

I am so tired of negative stuff on WP. I left two aspie support groups here in Brisbane, where I spent time with since February, because they are negative and spending too much time on complaining about NTs. They are targeting NTs in their awareness campaigns, in an offensive way. And I got bullied by someone (WP used to bully me years ago, on my old account) because I am different.

So please think about the differences in attitudes, not by what you got. Using your disabilities in a way of love, romance, sex, relationships, friendships and so on won't get you there.


I agree with all of this.

The title to this thread is negative. It should read "Why would a person waste their time with another person?" They wouldn't be wasting time if there were something being given from each person to the other that is beneficial. That's how friendships and relationships work. Negativity helps no one. I wouldn't want to be around any negative NT's either - it has nothing to do with being Aspie.

Just wanted to re-emphasize that one's attitude plays an important role in getting/maintaining a friendship or relationship. For me, I'm okay with someone wanting to vent or talk about whatever issue is going on, but when that person talks about it on a consistent basis with no effort or desire to change the situation, then it becomes draining to listen, and I will make less of an attempt to see the person again.

Your positivity is inspiring. I hope you stay this way until you die. I think you'll have a more fulfilling life that way. :D

NT waste their time? this title is nonsense
who waste their time with nts that slow down everything?
sabotaging every decision or plan, but this, but what, but if, if only ....
you had the manners to support your lifelong being belittled and ret*d by us,
the nt plan of ultrafragmentation by accountability
the forward motor propelled by random accusation-ability,
why don't you hand it out as you get it in, wrongdoer you are !

Sometimes it is hard not to be negative, I do think you should be negative when that's how you feel versus bottling it up. Sometimes there isn't a lot to be positive about, it isn't like faucet you can turn on and off but rather my life and if things were all positive I wouldn't be here. I am not an angry person, I am not someone that blames other people for my problems, that's all stuff I direct towards myself. I dunno, I feel like I need a few more Ws in the the win column soon since Ls just keep piling up before I can start feeling better about myself.
