    Eye contact, again

    Progster and Fino, that is pretty much what i thought, and your descriptions help a lot, thank you!!. What's interesting is that my fiance actually makes quite a lot of consistent eye contact with me when we're talking at work from a few desks away. It's up close where he seems to really feel...

    Eye contact, again

    Question for you, Progster. My fiance is aspie, I'm nt. He read this thread and said he most related to your post on the topic. Here's my question: If you were to spend a little time each day purposely making and holding eye contact with your significant other, do u think over time you would...

    Questions asking for advice...

    I'm NT and this happens to me all the time. Once I was venting about it to a law school professor who stopped me and said, "you do realize, very few people are interested, patient, and intelligent enough to engage in the kind of three dimensional thinking your brain naturally applies to...

    So frustrated!

    What kind of stuff are we talking about here? Fact based things like we are going to dinner with so and so next week, or conceptual interpersonal relationship/ emotional stuff?

    What Are Common Annoying Things NTs Do in Relationships?

    Yes I really said that, but that's the benefit of being with an aspie instead of a fellow NT. My aspie bf appreciates when I explain what's going on and listens to it all at face value instead of reading a bunch of stuff into it and immediately going on the defensive. Honestly it's the best...

    What Are Common Annoying Things NTs Do in Relationships?

    Does he know you have this pattern? Maybe if he knew you experienced low times like that where you needed him to give you more time and attention than usual he would be glad to be aware of it, and even more glad there was something he could actually do to help you through it. That was the case...

    I confessed my feelings

    Whenever I've emailed or texted specific emotion-related inquiries to my aspie bf (our preferred method of communication for such things) we set up a time frame for when he will get back to me with an answer. He is solely in charge of deciding what that should be because neither one of us wants...

    I confessed my feelings

    So i just had my aspie boyfriend read this thread. He thinks the delay is almost certainly due to your guy not knowing what to say and feeling pressure and worry about not saying the wrong thing. He also said waiting for him to respond isn't necessarily the right thing to do because the longer...

    Would you Rather Date a...

    I'm NT, my boyfriend is aspie. We were immediately drawn to each other and clicked easily and effortlessly during the year we were friends before becoming a couple. Once things crossed into romantic territory they required more effort, because humans naturally expect and need different things...

    Are you hyper?

    My AS bf walks insanely fast, like sometimes I almost feel like I need to lightly jog to keep up with his natural pace--had no idea that might be an aspie thing, but super interesting if so!

    What reactivates your attention & interest in your NT partner?

    Seems like a tricky balance to strike, but I have to say, it doesn't take being aspie to make a woman meltdown when her man says he'll be home but then goes off the grid without warning instead, no matter how harmless the reason! :tonguewink:

    What reactivates your attention & interest in your NT partner?

    I have, and he usually looks surprised and says everything is fine and he thought he was being exactly the same as always. Like he genuinely can't tell that his outward actions seem different because to him, he's feeling all the same usual things inside. That's what's kind of hard to figure...

    What reactivates your attention & interest in your NT partner?

    Was that something that was mostly going on internally for you, or did they notice something was different and bring it up? Like did the ex who'd start playing the piano or guitar do that on purpose to manipulate you out of being in "sleep mode," or did it just happen to work out that way?
