| Sometimes I pretend like I'm busy with my phone (even pretend to talk on it) or I listen to my iPod. Luckily most humans do that anyway, so you'll fit right in.

| I can relate FueledByCoffee. My therapist says it's an aspie trait. Some aspies don't have this problem, but I do.

| Lots of great feedback from you all, thanks!! I'll give some of it a go, I really like the "I'm too busy for a relationship right now" bit. I'm a terrible liar so saying I have a boyfriend or I'm "flattered" would be a bit much. Keep the advice coming... I'm glad I joined this online community, I ha... |
