Being a social chameleon most of my 19 years I've never had the ability to ever ask out a girl I had interest in, so for years I would end up dating girls I didn't really have any interest. Mainly because I did not want to hurt there feelings. This went on for most of my middle school and high school life, until junior year. Thats when I meet Omi, she was funny, popular, outgoing, smart, nice, and beautiful. She was the single most intimidating person I had ever meet, so of course I couldn't say a word to her. But as luck would have it I was in most of her classes and the "new guy" guy at a high school of less than 200 and so everyone was interested in finding out who was, my private little hell. Anyways she started talking to me on a daily bases (which was very strange for me, I normally go days with out saying a word to anyone) and hanging out with me, sometimes even after school. So this went on for a year and half, while I secretly harbored a magnificently painful crush on her. I had resigned my self to never probably speaking to her ever again after we started high school, even though we were only going to college 20 minutes away from each other. But she had other ideas, when graduation day was upon us she told me that she had a huge crush on me for most of the year. Now this came as a total suprise to me because shes almost the complete opposite from me in many things, so even though I had fantasies I never thought they would come true. We've been dating for a year now and it's just as strong as it was to begin with, she even accepted the whole aspie thing without any problems, it's just amazing. So I was and still am ecstatic about it and want to share the news. I had always thought that I'd never really care for anyone else and had thought about just never dating or getting into real relationships, but now my view is the polar. I know at least a few people have the idea that relationships are not for them or they are some how fake...but this is not true. If your patient, careful and Lucky it will happen and you'll find someone who makes you happy, I wish you luck.
