I'm not Sure Whether or Not to Pursue a Relationship

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm Steve. I have Asperger's Syndrome, but it's very mild. I suppose I had some trouble in social situations when I was younger, but now I just have trouble reading people's faces. That's pretty much it. Anyway, I have gone out with three different women since high school. The third girl I liked, I met in college. I have two things to ask about; how much time should I put towards trying to start a relationship, and how do I know if it's worth it? She told me she just really needs a male friend, and if that's all it continues to be, that's fine, but I find myself thinking about her a lot, and I have known her for three and a half years, and have gone out with her twice (albeit over a two-year period). If she just wants to stay friends, that's fine. Just wondering, will it be more?

Thanks

This is something you really have to think about. Whould you be able a relationship in all it's aspects or will you not

thats something you realy shouldn't think about if you are a person for a relationship you'l probably get into one and if you'r not you probably won't.

What does she mean by male friend? Does she want a FWB or does she need furniture to move?

Sometimes I feel I'd like some companionship yet I don't have the mental energy to pursue it. Probably relationship isn't my thing after all.

I too sometimes feel like I need a relationship, but I think it's out of the fear of dying alone. I think about my personality traits, but current age, my opinion of girls in my age group and my needs in life and I think ".....nah". I think one of the things people need most in life is companionship, which can be achieved without the need for a relationship. A good strong friendship with people you know and are close to will get you that.
