    multiple dating partners?

    Hi NTgirl! Sorry you found that out. I'm surprised he was able to carry on two relationships. I wonder if the other person he was "dating" would consider it a relationship, if you know what I mean. I was dating a lovely Aspie man for a year. Whenever I'd say "I missed you" or "I really feel...

    It's so sad I have to laugh...

    roy --you are such a compassionate, sane person -- I appreciate everything you said. It sounds like you really understand where I'm coming from, and have had many similar experiences. Best wishes to you too to find a loving relationship. Kris -- God that must have hurt -- like a punch in the...

    Thanks NTgirl! And so do you!

    It's so sad I have to laugh...

    roy -- thanks so much for the caring response. re: "so busy" -- he legitimately has been swamped with work and volunteer issues plus a death in his family; now he's planning on moving which I can see will keep him "very busy" for the next few months. After that, we're almost into the holidays...

    Ola Tia Maria :) Thanks for your kind and caring response. Yes -- I will go to Paris someday, and buy a skirt in my size (or a whole dress -- WTF!) If I had a lot of funds, I could see going with him as a friend. But I don't. And hence, I think I might not go with him on this trip. As I think...

    Thanks, Judge -- I was thinking the same thing. I'm coming out of a searing divorce and saddled with all kinds of bills. I'd rather spend that on a nice trip with my daughter or son who have been through a lot. It's not like "going to Paris" with this guy will pay off in the end.

    Thanks Judge for reading my post and replying. I would agree with you except that he has introduced me to: his family; his co-workers; his friends; his neighbors. He said he would miss it if I didn't come out to see him. But bottom line, my gut tells me this is going nowhere for me...

    It's so sad I have to laugh...

    Some of you may remember me posting earlier about my relationship with a lovely, smart, funny man who I think is on the spectrum. Here's the round up: met in July 2014; dated; became intimate in November; December I hadn't seen him in a few weeks (scheduling issues) and said "I missed you". He...

    Getting Over Break-ups

    {{hugs}} Cassie! I'm so sorry you're going through this. Couple of things -- you say your mom told you a few years ago you had Asperger's -- do you think you do? There's a test/quiz you can take (some members on this site reference their scores). Does that describe you? Next -- I know how much...

    How on earth will I find a spouse…

    Hey whattup -- as horrifying as it sounds, you might actually like some aspects of online dating. Many sites have events where members can meet other people their age (like hiking trips where at least you're active and are not just sitting across a table making small talk). Some people I know...

    How do Aspies celebrate Valentine's Day?

    Malestrom -- great idea. Update: I told him I didn't really want to go to the party, but maybe we could get together Sunday (since we both have President's Day off). He was psyched for that plan. And I got home from work today, and I see a box at my door -- popcorn! Which I love. And the note...

    How do Aspies celebrate Valentine's Day?

    Good advice, T-rex. I think I'm also putting a lot of "weight" on this holiday because it's my first one post-separation. Poor boy has no idea. Least I can do is talk to him honestly about what I'm feeling/expecting.

    How do Aspies celebrate Valentine's Day?

    Thesaurusrex -- I agree. If he was expressing and/or showing appreciation for me every other day, V-day wouldn't loom with such significance for me. I'm honestly thinking of moving on. I feel lonely most of the time with him. Feb 14 is just another day and it would be fake for him to suddenly be...

    How do Aspies celebrate Valentine's Day?

    Thanks everyone. This is all very helpful. Really good point about seeing traditions as fake, King Oni. I remember he didn't seem to want me to do anything for his birthday. I think he really wants to go to this thing. And I kind of really don't. I just know myself -- while I agree Valentine's...

    How do Aspies celebrate Valentine's Day?

    I've been dating this lovely smart kind funny man (who I am pretty sure has Aspie qualities) since July. We spent Thanksgiving together, and a low key New Year's Eve together (had dinner locally, stayed in and watched TV). Valentine's Day is coming up, and I'm not expecting a big fancy dinner...
