| You are never too old to learn new things. I picked up the bass when I was 22. |

| I'm really liking the new album Morning Phase, which is very similar to Sea Change from 2002. I can't seem to get the song "Morning" out of my head. |

Not sure why someone would fake being an Aspie. |

| I love this topic since it is one of my biggest sources of anxiety at work. I'm usually pretty relieved when I don't have to walk past anyone down the "long hallway". Someone mentioned making brief eye contact about halfway through to gauge whether a "hello" is appropriate. This seems to work for me... |

| Yeah, Marky9, you should check it out. The worst that can happen is that you don't enjoy it. But at least you can say you tried it out. |

| To be honest, it was a bit awkward. I was expecting more of a moderated discussion thing, but it turned out to be just a group of people sitting around a table drinking coffee. Most there knew each other from past meetings and they were chatty, but I just kind of sat there and listened, adding a few... |

I know that awkward feeling myself. "Did I say the right things? Was she just being polite? Was I boring? Do I mention this conversation the next time?" You know how it is.
However, I bet your NT friend didn't think anything more of it. Just a normal everyday conversation on a bus. |

| FORTRAN '77 is an old computer language that I was forced to learn (?) in college. It was the 1977 version of the language and FORTRAN '77 was the title of the textbook. I really hated that class. One day was trying to think of a user name for something or other and the textbook title FORTRAN '77 ju... |

| Funny that I'm about to give you advice since I was (am) the same as you with girls, but I suggest to play it cool. Just ask her if she is doing anything tomorrow (don't mention Valentine's Day at all). When she says she is not doing anything (hopefully), suggest a movie. Make it seem casual - at le... |

| I'm introverted and guarded in public. I've probably conditioned myself to be like this over the years as a protective measure since I am easily flustered and prone to blushing when spotlighted. I also have the usual Aspie eye-contact problem. However, at home with family or out with close friends I... |
