Eligible Odd bod success stories

Post Reply New Topic

Hi all!

I'm wondering how many people who have mentioned themselves on the eligible odd bod list have actually met up with someone. There's a lot of bait, but seemingly no bites.

Anyone have any success on that board? Success can mean just chatting, or meeting up physically, whatever. Just define what your idea of 'success' is, please.

Thanks!

Not on the "eligible odd bods" list, but on the board http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... pic&t=3793

Oh yes, I remember reading that thread a while back. Hope things are still going well!

not me

Thanks for your thoughts!! And yes, things are going very well.

I suppose I should mention that I responded to QuirkyCarla's post because we're from the same state. we've been talking online for a while and hopefully are gonna meet sometime in the next week or two. Its not clear how much we have in common, and I probably won't be spending much time in my homestate (finishing college, and then who knows?) but it should be interesting to really meet an aspie in the flesh.

Me either. I didn't even get a single response to my post... I did reply to some posts also, but none of them replied back.

With me, it's been a case of had a nibble then lost interest. Chatted for a while and then it stopped. I don't know why, because things seemed to be going okay.

Oh, well... plenty of fish in the sea, right? Hey, that kinda works nicely with bait and bites bit in my original post, dont you think?

Lol, not to add more dead weight to this thread but I think most of us are a). too focused on what we're into and b). too diverse. Looks to me like AS isn't the great unifying factor that a lot of people would like to think it is.

...Or c) our geographic location makes relationships impossible.

The old saying "Birds of a feather flock together"...

I second sean's idea. Many of you I would like to meet in person, but time, location, and transportation issues make this rather difficult.

I'm sorry to hear about some of the difficulties some of you are having in this area Good luck to those of you who have found someone though! I wasn't on the eligible odd-ball list, but I have had luck here on the boards More details on that in a few weeks, I'm waiting until he comes for a visit so we can post on that together We don't live in the same state or the same country, but relatively speaking I guess we're lucky in that we're not too far apart, only about 1000 miles or so. It's tough at times, and we've been lucky, so I understand why geographic differences make things rather difficult. I guess I just really hope that if we can do it, other's can do it too Good luck to all of you.

Yeah, that's a major killer in the end but still, when I look down that post, at least in my own sense, I don't see anyone who stands out as anyone I'd be into or who'd be into me. I don't know how common that much is but if everyone else is dealing with that then we could all live in the same town at that rate and it wouldn't mean much.

I think another major problem is the fact that communication is difficult for most of us. Although I am somewhat outspoken socially, I'm still incomfortable about advancing relationships. That includes becoming closer friends as well as developing a partner relationship with a woman.

I think that's probably the fundamental reason. We want to meet others, but it's difficult and more often than not, we fail. Just a case that numbers aren't on our side...

I haven't seen a perfect match either, but there are more females here that are not quite perfect matches than I would have thought possible before I came here. So I can't rule out a possible mutual attraction with a future member, or me and an existing female member discovering something about each other that leads to mutual attraction, with both scenarios occuring at some point in the future where we could meet up from anywhere on the planet.

To be honest I would love to meet some people here, but only as friends. I am a loner and don't want a boyfriend.

I'd meet some New Zealanders but I am scared of what they would think of me.

I would like to meet jman, also.
