Well, my first instincts about women are terrible, it is difficult for me to examine someone character well. And for some reason I notice some women that seem nice and then that are the toughest .... from town.

And when I am getting along with someone with a nice character and some understanding of my strange habits, then she either has a boyfriend or is living at least 700 kilometres away or both at the same time! It is nice to meet people abroad, but I just can not find someone close to home.

Some people said that a certain girl was interested in me, but then I completely missed it! I just can not seem to pick up those signals (both positive and negative). I tried to examine body language, but it was quite difficult. Also since there are most of the times friends or people I know around; and they also take part of my capacity to observe and interact. And going out alone seems difficult.

Not having a girlfriend is not a bad thing, I am quite happy. But peer pressure, the nagging of my parents and the fact that now everybody from the people I know are getting married is depressing.

You should only date if it's because *you* want to date, not to please others, or to be like everyone else.

Girls that are interested in checking out a boyfriend are not standing by a boy they like out of "chance," Mw99. If they didn't want to stand beside you they would be thinking "ewwwww, cooties" (or what ever passes for being 'grossed out' these days.) and they would be long gone and giggling with their friends about how they almost stood next to some guy like you.

so that is how you understand if a woman is interested in you. They don't recoil in horror. It's a good clue and one even an Aspie can pick up on.

Today some girl stood next to me; I felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. I just looked away and pretended I didn't notice her :oops:.

A few years back a girl came up and gave me a little cuddle while I was shopping.

It was very nice until she realized that she'd cuddled the wrong person and that her boyfriend was over the other side of the room wearing similar clothing. :)

What did she do after she realized she had cuddled the wrong person?

Well she was very embarrassed, apologised, turned crimson and ran off. Pity, she was cute :)
