Hey guys! I just discovered something! A friend of mine explained to me why all the hot girls keep making moves on me and not vice-versa. It's for 2 reasons: 1)I come across as aloof, cool and hot (this is what I was told anyway) which makes girls attracted to me, 2) because I have aspergers which makes it hard for me to pick up on social cues, I come across as hard-to-get, which has actually increased my social outlook! I've been asked out twice this month (because I was too shy to ask either of them out, but they liked me a lot), and since I didn't really make many moves I came across as aloof and they ended up wanting me more (kinda confusing, isn't it? sweatdrop ).

Anyway, in a weird way aspergers has actually helped me socially, and allowed me to do what most guys would not do. And hey, I had a girl ask me out and pay for me to go to the movies with her, and I also had another girl ask me out and she kissed me. I love having aspergers now more than ever!! cool biggrin heart

Oh ya, both girls were VERY cute, and no I am not a player, I just didn't have a thing for the first girl like I did for the second. The second girl was cool in an indescribable sort of way. smile

Well, that's wonderful for you! My brother gets a lot of attention as well, and that offers me insight as to why. I'll have to share that with him.

I think it's different for Aspie girls. The female social structure is much more complicated than the male social structure. Females nearly never say what they mean, so I'm the weirdo that just doesn't get anything. Hopefully though, I'll start getting attention like you. I really want a girlfriend. I'm so lonely. I really wish I could find someone like me. This online resource is good, but I still don't know anyone in person that's like me, outside my immediate family.

Well I'm a girl, and AS has done nothing but cause trouble for me!

Asperger's has caused trouble for me, but as a result, I think I've actually started to become less selfish. Some people would disagree and say I'm more selfish than I used to be. But when I was younger, I wanted like 100 friends, I wanted to be famous, I wanted to have like 5 jobs, I wanted to be in charge, I wanted sweets all the time, and I always wanted fast food.

Now, I want enough money to pay off the bills I will someday have to pay, maybe five close friends, I don't care if I get famous, one job is enough, and I don't want to be in charge. I also want sweets in moderation and fast food isn't at the top of my desired consumption list.

Sadly, I don't have many skills. I'm afraid I'll end up on the street if I don't make it as a writer. At the same time, that makes me more determined to succeed and even more sure I can't hold back.

Asperger's doesn't really cause trouble for me, but it limits my ability to make friends. In this area, I have also slacked off. I only want to be friends with my classmates, group members, etc etc. I'm not going out of my way to get a boyfriend and I'm perfectly happy as long as the work keeps me occupied.

Overall, I'm simple and easy to figure out. On the flip side, I'm also a female which also makes me difficult to analyze. Contradictory, no? Although I'm easy to know on the surface, it's hard to figure out what I can eat, it's hard to figure out what shoes I can wear, it's hard to find stylish things I can and want to wear, it's hard to find a job I'm able to get done, it's hard to entertain me, and the smallest things bother me too.

On the surface, it appears I'm obsessed with anime, Malik, role-playing, and writing and that's all I really enjoy. There's more to me than that.

As a result of these interests, however, I have doomed my life to a world of loneliness. People don't like to put up with me, because I'm so complicated. Plus, my interests are so restricted they find me irritating.
