Hurtloam . . . . You are right. I have many friends that we periodically text each other and often stop mid conversation . . . .sometimes a quick oiiiii text from a friend will remind me that I forgot to reply, but it is not a problem.

So you made me think. Why do I need something different with my aspie friendship. 1) it is a very close friendship 2) it is very different - I think I ask for some consistency as I find it quite challenging to understand the different way we communicate and interact. 3) I genuinely do worry about his safety if I haven't seen that he had been online in 24hrs, I worry he has been in an accident.

I agree the main thing is about agreeing between yourselves what you need and respecting that.

We have met once in person and have talked many times about seeing each again, but at the moment our schedules don't allow it. It doesn't bother me if he takes a few hours to get back to me, or even a day. What has bothered is before when we were in the middle of a conversation and then he didn't respond until a week later. Once we had talked about hanging out on the weekend and he said he thought he might be busy but he'd let me know, and I never heard from him. I thought he had just gotten tired of me and was blowing me off, then several days later he texted me after the fact to say he had been busy. I just feel like it's difficult to read the situation.

I guess he is two timing and when the other girl quits chatting with him he jumps back to you.

I have a married guy chatting with me he goes incommunicado during weekends when is wife is around and is in full throttle during weekdays

Be careful of such manipulators

He doesn't see you the same way you see him.

He is not interested, sorry.

Maybe you are right, but can I just ask why you say that? After he said he was busy I figured he was blowing me off and I stopped talking to him, but he keeps talking to me and suggested we hang out soon. I've tried to stop talking to him, but he always texts me after I haven't talked to him for awhile.

It goes without saying.
