My son's new girlfriend is also an Aspie and they've agreed to talk EVERYTHING out, never holding back. For him I think that has been a huge deal maker.

That and the fact she loves all the same geeky activities that he does.

I think he's been really lucky. Hope it sticks.

The funny thing I've observed is that a lot of things people think would be deal breakers, stop being deal breakers when they find the "right" person. Depends on what the deal breaker is.

Loves me despite all my negatives (there’s a lot!), isn’t a jerk (deal breaker!), and has stuff in common with me.

Good idea!

That sounds just like my relationship except that we have no interests. Maybe that's a consequence of me choosing a partner based on attractiveness.

- Shares interests
- Affectionate and clingy to a reasonable extent
- Honest and loyal
- On the spectrum

I don't like "clingy"----that can really get on my nerves.

I like somebody who digs me----and likes it that I dig her.

I don't like the symbiotic sort of relationship where you only hang out with each other, and no one else.

I hit bump when I was trying to hit the current page and it said I bumped it. This is interesting. I might bump lots of things! Bump!

Please don't bump things, my friend.

It has caused problems in the past.

I am not too fussy, but I think I prefer a more traditional young lady. A lady which does not follow the latest fasions but finds what she likes and enjoys it,

Uhmmm. I best describe myself to show others what I mean... Or rather, I will describe my bicycle preferences as a guide. I have been involved with old and modern bicycles. There is not that much I have not seen. I have developed a more traditional approach which gains the best qualities of old whilst still being relevent and useable in these current times. For example, if I had to put a specific date as bicycles go I would say the late 1980's to very early 1990's where the traditions were still being upheld... The tried and tested methods... Which were mixed with elements of design improvements without going mad on bicycle fasion industry which started churning out new, or mostly reinvented ideas just to get people to spend. So I am looking for a lady who sees through the hyoe and is able to get the best out of things. Practical and beautiful!
And I have to say that I look at beauty in a very different way to the common man. I see a ladies character as her beauty.

Thanks Mr P.

I don't really want to put my preferences as conditions, but I do look more to beautiful character in a lady then looks. Looks can be good, but not essential. As what use are great looks without character?
