Well, it is nice to have attention anyway. I think ultimately it is better than having none at all.


I'd prefer none at all, actually.

I think it's a combination of the two factors.

Oh jeez... Embarassed

Yes. It's a very elegant solution that allows the rejectee to save face...


I'm not very good at lying.

Don't lie then: just casually say something like "I went with my BOYFRIEND to the movies" and don't volunteer that it was actually in 1998...

Or I could say "I'm into the ladies" without admitting I like men too. chin

I don't advise this. Many men find that a huge turn on.

It's not your fault. This is an Aspie forum, where people take things literally. Razz

Anyway, I think the only solution is to make yourself unapproachable, but not an angry b...h. Somebody suggested listening the music while you're outside. It's a good idea, though.

And I agree unwanted attention is bad. No attention sucks a big time, but unwanted attention doesn't help at all.

Same. If someone changes their mind, they'll have to come to me.

Ah... yes. I need to get my ipod touch charged and working. Smile

I have a theory why you are getting so much attention. I think you perhaps have a certain brand of attractiveness, a sort of unusual, striking type. I think a number of aspie women have a similar quality. It is attracting attention to you, which you seem to not want, but it is hard to stop certain people from viewing you as interesting or attractive. So I guess it is just life.

She's tall and curvy. I think you're over-thinking this. The typical male sexual response is not that complicated. Sir Mix-A-Lot didn't write a song titled "Baby got a certain brand of unusual attractiveness". Tall women with ample "features" get noticed, plain and simple.
