| Getting a girlfriend is tough...because it takes me being real familiar with someone to not be serious and reserved at first, and those are two traits not really good for attracting women in today's world. Then when you have one...I guess my biggest issue is that I have difficulty with dealing with ... |

| That they wish they didn't have to deal with your AS/Autism sometimes and that they saw it as something limiting them? I've been taking some time to reflect on my recently ended relationship. My ex told me multiple times she saw it as something that limits her and that sometimes she wished she didn'... |

| I am currently trying to leave grad school (horticulture) and relocate to somewhere where I can be more happy (and work in produce sales as I did it growing up). Unfortunately, where I attend graduate school is very remote and I won't really be a local hire anywhere. Any tips on how an Aspie can con... |

| Well, patience will help. I mean this just happened, right? It'll take a while. Happened Wednesday. Still can't stop thinking about what I could've done better and how things could've been saved and what we would be doing in a couple weeks if she just held out and let us rekindle things in person (... |

| I mean at this point it sounds to me like you're edging towards characterizing her as a brainless, indecisive slut who wants things handed to her on a platter, and that's not a cool direction to be heading in. She told me she wants the benefits of a relationship but doesn't want the work involved t... |

| As far as figuring out the exact reason why she broke up with you, that may never be known - she may not know. Perhaps, after a while, something will occur to you in retrospect. And, her reason for the breakup may be entirely unrelated to you. For instance, I had a girlfriend mysteriously kicked me... |

| I know it's something I shouldn't do, but at the same time, I always get fixated on things and have to figure them out. I just want to know how the hell something that was so wonderful soured on her so quickly. What I could do differently to win her back, or more importantly, avoid the fate with the... |

| We actually set a date for closing the distance. I think that was part of it. She felt like that was losing control, even though it was a mutual agreement on it. She told me she didn't like having to be accountable to others and having to compromise a bit, but wanted the benefits of a relationship, ... |

| I am unfortunately across the country from all my family and friends and am quite alone. She was my best friend through everything I've dealt with in grad school, and that's what makes this extra hard, because I lost my support system here. I would just love to have her back, or at least closure. I'... |

| I am an Aspie, who's 23. I had been dating this wonderful woman for 8 months, and she broke up with me earlier today (5/28). We were doing long-distance, and were set to see each other every 7 weeks for about 10 days a trip. She has a stressful job that has her overseas, and I'm in graduate school a... |

| Hi everyone; first post here. I'm not in any trouble with the girl, but I'm just confused as to what to act/do and deal with some quirks of my Asperger's (I think they're from my Asperger's) that are putting some stress to the relationship, and I want to mitigate them more now as an ounce of prevent... |
