Did anyone watch last night's episode? When we were first introduced to Heather, they told us she had OCD. But, I saw in the programme description that she had OCD and also Aspergers, which is why I'd tuned in. Eventually, we were told she had Aspergers too and that it affected her by not being able to look people in the eye. They said nothing else about how her Aspergers affected her and how it might impact on relationships. I thought it was odd for them not to go into some sort of detail about it. Maybe it's because she had such severe OCD that her Aspergers faded into insignificance. But, I find that hard to get my head round it not being an issue, for the purpose of getting a date (which is what the programme is about afterall). She told both the woman from the dating agency and the guy she was on a date with that she had difficulty looking people in the eye, drawing attention to it, but no mention of the Aspergers being the cause. I don't like how I'm feeling about this one, but her eye contact issue looked either completely fake or exaggerated, as if she was somehow trying to prove she had Aspergers. The OCD was an obvious problem and was the thing holding her back from forming relationships. But, as for the Aspergers, was this supposed to be a problem for her? It truly did seem to be just about the eye contact and I've got my doubts about that, or maybe some details of her issues were lost in the edit. The guy seemed to like her anyway, but I think he was very curious about her and maybe wanted to study her. 
I haven't watched it yet
To be quite honest it makes me a bit sad watching other people get excited about going on dates when the person I see can't even be bothered to reply to an email half the time!
I say I don't generally like going to pubs and restaurants but when I watch the people on these dates I feel envious

If you live near me, I'll go out for a pint with you. Not for a date, obviously.

Lol thanks
Is the 'obviously' due to my age?

No, because I felt that if I didn't put that there you'd call me a perv! 
(Which isn't a million miles away from the truth.)

Oh Ok
I'm just paranoid about my age on here!
Anyway we're in the West Midlands - a bit far
Me and the person I live with and another friend may be going to Autscape this year though
