It's possible of course that she's given me subtler hints in recent times.

I was just entirely convinced that she wasn't interested in that way.
 
Your fooling yourself, first person to get fooled. Ask her out enjoy the relationship. Best time of my life was being land lord of three story old Victorian style house one block from Yonge Toronto's main drag with girl friend whose family built Yonge street years ago. Even had some huge parties, still have pictures to show my kids. Show her that their is still life in her, that's probably what she is looking for. If it do not work out you still have time.

She's definitely a party girl. She doesn't need me for that, trust me.

If you spent time with me in person, you'd understand.
 
Nothing wrong with party girl, my current wife likes to dance I always liked dance as an art form before I meet her never had opportunity to learn without partner after I meet her I found out she was going to discotheque to dance, I was going to see live bands never heard of disco music. then my cousin joined a band where the song writer came from Montreal, he had left as no more live music in Montreal as disco had taken over. No disco when I graduated college So here I was the ladies in my house were going dancing at disco's I was going to bars to watch live bands play. No wonder I did not meet any women in the bars. After I meet my wife we started to find places to go where we could both dance. I could not dance worth a crap how could I have learned before I meet her. funniest part my lab partner at time was a professional dancer who quit his position to join dance troop. That's how life works ironic. My plan on retirement was to take dance lessons, Stroke killed that plan.

35-year-old autistic male here.

Quite recently a very good friend of mine (57-year-old NT female) told me that she had a dream in which I asked her to marry me and she accepted.

Would you all call this definite, irrefutable proof that she likes me in that way?

I'm just looking for opinions.

My immediate reaction is to think she is into you, even if it is on a subconscious level.
Her telling you is interesting.

Ask her if you are interested. :cool:

It is definitely not that. She's still very attractive.

I never believed that I was attractive enough for her to look at me that way.

Don't let an opportunity go by if you are interested.
Clarify the situation.
It isn't hard. :cool:

Would you like it to be a sexual/romantic relationship or simply a platonic/companionship one?
 
It looks promising.
I would explore the situation, simples. :cool:

So many males on the spectrum are too scared to ask.
I don't understand why.
That may have something to do with my advanced age. <shrug>🤔

No, I wouldn't consider that as proof that she is sexually attracted to you.
