...but in reality you just don't?

Case 1: Person who seems like my "type" in writing because we have a lot of common interests. In person, though, our actual personality types are just too different that we even have come to hate each other.

Case 2: Person who also has a lot in common with me and IS interested in talking to me, but every attempt at conversation just comes into a crashing halt since neither of us is really good at carrying a conversation. (Maybe we have too much in common, heh.)
 
When I was about 12 years old, my parents arranged a playdate for me with another girl in the neignbourhood. They thought I'd get on well with her, because we were both shy, didn't have many friends and my parents thought we'd get on well because we apparently had similar personalities. So I went to her house and watched a video, and the whole time we just sat there watching the video and not talking to each other. I didn't have any more playdates with her after that. I wonder if she's also an Aspie.
