Nope, and things change in time. Don't count every egg just yet, since the chickens are still laying them.

You haven't seen me yet, I barely trust my own parents 

It's called Asperger's Syndrome, I think differently, think of those chicken's eggs all having dogs hatch from them.

I might not have the Asperger's, but, yeah. Let's not get into a discussion about parents. I have presented my thoughts about them in many other threads. All I'm saying is, there is always a chance, no matter how small.

Autistics want GFs too.

Speaking of which, I saw this interesting parody that claimed all the sad romance cliches people think are real aren't.

It's quite funny.

[Redeemer]

Hey, remember how I was crying over my disaster of a relationship some pages ago? No? Well that's ok.

Redeemer, I took your advice about not getting overwhelmed and to keep trying. Basically, long story short, my ex is holding strong onto her "i dont want a boyfriend at this time" thing, and somehow seems stuck on me. She wants to be good friends with me (according to her), but she clearly wants my attention. I'm even more confused now than before when she was on her "I dont want another boyfriend and I want you to stay away" phase. She wasn't even consistant during that time either.

Any advice? (refer to page 19 for my original post about it, in case you forgot what was going on here)

It sort of sounds like she doesn't know what she wants. There are two considerations here - she doesn't know what she wants and is confused, or she's leading you on, wanting the attention to feel good but not actually wanting you.

Try not seeing her for a little while. Maybe a week. Then ask if you can hang out and see what she's like. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and you may get a straight answer from her if you give yourself some good, girl-free space.

LOL! Those were pretty good. And YAY! Gamers aren't condemned to loneliness after all! :D

That is not allways true. For example,

I have come to the conclusion that I am

asexual. That is right. When my classmates

talk about sex or relationships, I try to change

this subject (if I am in the conversation) or

ignore it (if I am not in the conversation, but

listening to it). The reason being, I do not feel

attracted by girls or boys at all. One might think

I have not yet reached the age for it to happen,

but I did. Unfortunately, it was in the wrong way.

that was pretty excellent, thanks Sabre :D

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

Thank you both very much for trying to help me, Fira-Astrali and Redeemer. You are both telling me that she is playing those crazy mind games and maybe we should stay away from each other a while. The thing is, we haven't seen each other in person for a few months now. We have only been communicating with texts and stuff. That's why I haven't been so quick to be skeptical about her actions. If she really does want my attention, she sure is showing it. It's just really confusing how she is going about it.

Yur only 17, and I refuse to believe someone is A until they are later 20s, sometimes early 30s, also I won't believe them if they were recently dumped. My reason is simple, most people claim to be A because they can't get a girlfriend and have to cover. Of course they all claim to be the exception until a nice woman comes along then they suddenly change their minds.

Provided you don't mention games ever. ...and are really really good looking ...and charaismatic.

[Fira-Astrali]

Dude, talking about games is awesome.... provided the guy in question does not rant on for two hours about some stupid zombie RPG he was making/playing/ dont even remember anymore. Some of these stereotypes are major turn-offs for some, and attracting to others.

Wow, wait, through text and stuff? No actual contact? Alright, this looks more like a mind game now. It's so easy to lead people on through text, I've seen it happen to so many. Just ignore her for a while, then tell her you lost your phone or something. Just give yourself some space, you need it.

In that case I could talk your knickers off, for the first hour and 59 minutes at least.

It's unfortunate that geek women are like mythical creatures here. If I ever met a woman, or indeed anyone in RL who loves games as much as I do that would be amazing.

This is the case most likely for me, I have strong non-relational feelings, but this doesn't mean I don't like good friends.  :lol:

[Guest Julius Quasar]

As I mentioned earlier,

I got a friend who admits to me he's lowering his standards, and settling for less.  He's dating really trashy girls and that's not good for him.  All of us are telling him he could do better, and I wonder how help him quit that sh**.

I can't stand to see him do this to himself.

My big brother is in the same pit, my mom is talking to him, and since his door is in my room, I have to hear it, I moved out to the porch on my lappy and am going to wait for the conversation to end.

Al! I used to love Home Improvment back in the day.

Seriously they do. I stopped hanging round the mainstream autistic comunity for to reasons, whining about GFs was one of them.

...I'm crap at anicdotes and empathy.

It is not because I do not a girlfriend or

because one left me, it is because I do

not find humans attractive. At all. Not

any of them. Hence, it is appropiate to

say that I am asexual. You can bring the

'hottest' girl or boy and I will not even care,

as if the were the 'ugliest' girl or boy.

Being asexual means that, no sexual attraction.

this is what asexual can mean

1.  Having no evident sex or sex organs; sexless.

2. Relating to, produced by, or involving reproduction that occurs without the union of male and female gametes, as in binary fission or budding.

3. Lacking interest in or desire for sex.

not siding with anyone

The meaing I used was your '3'.

I would totally lol if it were meaning number 2. :P

I think that the main problem is that most gamers go over teh head of the girl they're talking too. I unno how many hardcore female gamers tehre are out there, who completely understand all the inctricasies/ slang/ acronymns that gamers use for any given game. For example, I like talking about games that ive played, but more like specific sections of the storyline, or cheats and secrets and crap. But I remember my friend going into this huge discussion of an rp he was playing using only the words from the game, so for me, it was "wah wah wah, wah wah-wah-wah..." You know what i mean? If you're going to go all gamer on a girl, and she seems a little interested, then at least explain what the funny-sword-of-dooha actually is. She might be really interested

As for geek women being mythical creatures, I will take that as a compliment I assume that you are on several forums, so im surprised that there aren't more women who share your interests. I would figure that geeky girls would take some kind of refuge on the internet, i know thats what i did And if you find someone on one of the forums that does match your interests, chat her up, fool!. That's what Asper did, and look what happened :P

I'm well aware of what it means. My point is that most people who claim to be A don't mean it. They are either to young or making excuses, at least in my experience.

Aspers a freak. Plus if girl geeks exisit, why are all their photos blurry, and why haven't we found a body yet? (for those who missed it, thats a joke against most mythical creature believers. Personally I like those believers because they are at least looking for stuff, but that's off topic)

I thought geek girls tend to avoid the internet, believing that anyone who finds out will harrass them with sexist comments. I would ironicly do that as a joke, but you might get alot of that, and if not then it will fall flat.

I'm usless at chatting people up. Both RL and in text. I'll try it now see if I can chat you up. Ahem.

"Hi there. I'm Sabre. And who might you be other then the woman of my dreams? ... Fira Astrali obviously. It's writen right there. OK. Erm, Do you come here often? Of course you do. You have over 200 posts ... Please stop tazering me."

...I think that went well.

this topic gets so complicated 

That's love and romance. Less Disney, more box of socially awkward hamsters.
