I really know how you feel soph. I think I may have just screwed up whatever chance I had with this guy because of my absent mindedness, thanks to good ol' AS. Though I do prefer texting or IM to talking on the phone, it's hard becuase I take everything so damn literal. so. now he probably thinks I'm some wierdo. These odds are pretty depressing. 57%, really?

Na…I’’ve been too autistic (there’s the excuse again); most people want you to talk to them constantly, rather than just being happy in their presence [like me]. It’s most likely better for the majority of people who’ve liked me though…I rarely care about the trappings of modern society.
It’d just cause me pain ‘cause I’d force myself to be what I’m not to satisfy them…I guess that is lying to myself...I respect my integrity too much to want to do that to them and myself. I’ll probably do it eventually though…isn’t that what we do?
You see the hole in the ground due to insight but you jump into it anyway because everyone else did; rather than by accident; the outcome is the same....

I've had several meaningful relationships, so I suppose I've been lucky. But I've also run into a lot of situations where girls who are interested just can't handle how different life is with me once things actually get going. Gets frustrating.
It depends...what would you consider a "successful" relationship?
Yeah. This is what I'm wondering. I had a marriage which
was very happy for most of 12 years, but it ended, so
I'd term it unsuccessful. Non-permanence kind of blows
anything away, for me - so I'd imagine that almost any
human-human (being mortal) relationship is doomed to
this tag.
I have no idea. It's not a phrase I would usually use, but that's what I often hear from other people. I don't know what constitutes a successful relationship though, I guess it depends on how you interpret it. If you believe it was successful or not.
