What's it like to have a girlfriend/boyfriend

Post Reply New Topic

No, my progress hit a dead end. There is no love, sex, or relationship in my future. I gave up last year. Some of us aren't meant to reproduce our genes.

Happily married to someone who is either BAP or mild AS now. History: 3 NT's, one bipolar guy and one sociopath. None of those relationships worked out well at all. If I was single I would never consider dating an NT again anyway: it's like another species. I would recommend dating NT women even less than dating NT men. Typical NT women are horrible, superficial, dishonest, sadistic creatures.

Find yourself an aspie.

Overrated by about ten zillion and one (I say don't bother at all, but that's just me).

Nonperson: I LOVE what you said about NT and AS people. I must remember it.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm wondering what the letters and numbers in your signature are?

A lot of work.
Nice if they actually understand and appreciate you.

It looks lovely when I see other couples together.

It's just hard work, hurt, heartbreak & embarrassment when I try to.

Ha! Only on an autism forum would the question 'have you had a boy/girlfriend?' include a 'don't know' option. Lol. It reminds me of a girl who I had a thing about in my first couple of months of uni. I hung around with her and her friends a lot but lacked the confidence to make a move. Ten years later someone in the street recognised me as her old boyfriend - news to me! I suppose it's true what they say about us missing signals

Its over rated, for what its worth.

29 years old (female), NT GF been together for. . hmm we met on 2004/05? where friends for about a year first? So 2013-2013=8. Been together 8 years that is akin to marriage! We do live together with a friend and her husband (i know I know long story not talking about it).

I would be lying if I said it was easy, or always sweet or that there where not times I wished I could just throw her out a window. I am sure she could say the same.

But when the good outweighs the bad, its worth it.

when children come along, its a whole different game.

I had a boyfriend prior to my diagnosis and it was confusing and just anxiety provoking. We shared some good moments but I had a lot of jealously for his intelligence, jealously for the way he and his friends could easily talk to each other, and didn't like him talking about his past relationships.

The breakup was a really hard time for me but we're still friends now.

I miss being with him but I think romantic relationships are not for me, at least not yet.

I had two boyfriends. None of them were NT. Both relationships were bad and I was unhappy and depressed in both of them. They did effect my thinking and the first one effected my sex drive. But I may have had the same opinions anyway but they may not have been as strong and bring back the old memories and feelings. But I also found both relationships lot of word and overwhelming and they are not the same as having a room mate or friend. I then understood why people say boyfriends are lot of work and husbands and men and women and wives and girlfriends. I have been happy every time I would be out of them so I can't even relate to people being upset when their relationship ends because for me it was always a blessing. I think if you two had nothing in common and they didn't understand you and things were bad in it and you were unhappy, why be upset if it ends?

If being single is tolerable at all...stick with it. It is a glorious freedom that is impossible in any relationship.
