Willing to meet others like myself, other aspies.

My name is Darian, I am 14 and am living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
After the tiring years of trying to make do with NTs I finally found this site and ever since my life has began to change. I'm beginning to understand more about how people in general 'tick', NTs and aspies and how a typical NT must view a typical aspie.
Having been through online relationships I still involve myself in them including the very long distance relationships. I've always been open to meeting in person however, it just has never quite happened yet.
If anybody would like to meet in person (especially a girl) that would be wonderful, however I don't think I'll be able to leave this state, let alone city.
If anybody would like to just contact online like chat that would also be perfectly fine. You can add my Myspace, MSN, or Yahoo Messenger (I also have several other accounts just in case)

Not that makes a huge difference but you could try the adolescent forum.
I know how everybody is like "Your 14!?! you shouldn't be worried about girls, you should be worried about school and your future."
I put this thread here because it does somewhat correlate to dating...
I would put it in the adolescent thread, but the reason why I don't is because I'm willing to meet just about anyone from here, regardless of age, and in the adolescent forum I would be limited to teens and not a wider scope of aspies.
So continuing on?
I'm sorry continue.
I'm not really judging just you're age, I realize there are those that're seemingly mature and beyond their age and you seem so. Just be careful and realize people aren't always what they seem to be on the netz.

I'm not really judging just you're age, I realize there are those that're seemingly mature and beyond their age and you seem so. Just be careful and realize people aren't always what they seem to be on the netz.
I have been communicating with people online for a solid 2 1/2 years on the most random chatrooms on Xat. Particularly the Lobby and a room I made I entitled Chillzone. I know how to recognize fakes very well and I'm very cautious, I've done so well in the last 2 1/2 years so I'm safe. I've always toyed with the idea of meeting people with people at least 50 times before but nothing ever led to an actual in-person encounter. (I have been very close to my online NT girlfriends though, and I want that too in reality
People have always said in some ways I was very mature for my age, but in some others I was lacking (of course this is the case with most aspies).
It may be only emotionally and socially, but I want to find some better ways to cope with all this, and the only way is through practice in live social situations. Most NT girls are inadvertent to aspie males.
Until recently I disclosed that I have AS to people on very rare occasions. I was trying to explain, and trying to have them understand why. Some NTs though think it's an excuse for doing certain things to annoy or bore other people.
It would be because with an aspie you understand each others mindsets so well, and you know whats going on. You can always pick a topic or subject to talk about and just go on forever together. My friend from my magnet high school who is very likely to be an aspie is Kenny. To me like only a few of my other friends he is incredibly funny and we have very similar humor.
With a friend like yourself you can just pour out all of your thoughts and feelings however you feel without social anxiety. When I'm with close friends I feel almost no social anxiety, I mean none at all.
For some reason lately it feels like a close friend or better that was a girl is something I kind of long for and miss. Feel a bit deprived of a closer social and emotional connection since most of the time I've been dating online for the past 2 years and my last relationship with a girl named Anna was about a year ago. It didn't lead very far and I never got much out of it since we didn't see each other very often. The relationship before that with another girl named Heather was 2 years earlier, and we were around each other all the time.
