Being an Aspie I know relationships can be hard any way, but does any one feel that because of tv and movies, that they have an unrealistic expectation of romance? For me I get so hooked on action and sci-fi movies I'm not sure I'll be happy if the guy hasnt saved me from a alien or some thing lol. Does any one have advice for the poor relationship ignorant aspie who be me?
Actually, this is one of the main reasons why I believe the only real relationship I had failed. It was an online relationship and we were together for 6 months before we finally met. The problem was, neither of us had been in a real relationship before, and we loved stories and so on so we expected that when we met things would just magically work out like they do in the movies. We figured out far too late after we had broken up that things just don't fall in place like they are shown in the movies and that we actually have to work at it.
