Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have a question. I am dating a man with AS and I am extremely fond of him. I find him to be worth spending my very limited time on. He understands me in ways no other man has and he does not even have to " understand " ... he just " gets things " in his way and it just so happens to be my way, AT TIMES. I am an NT. Though not your typical. I have an emotional quotient which is 99.9 % more aware than the rest of the planet, according to EQ results I have taken with trusting and leading assessment conveyors globally. My incredible social awareness leaves me no choice but to understand and have compassion for all aspects of human being and society. I have heard that I am perfect for this Aspie, and he for me, though, that does not change the fact that he is an Aspie and I am about 99.9% more aware than most humans about " being human " ... It's ironic, in case you have not picked up on this already.My question is to all of you with AS and with experience with Aspies and NT's from all perspectives... Am I wasting time wanting this man in my life as a partner? He tells me he cannot " belong to anyone " and feels that a relationship automatically means he will " be somebody's. " I have explained that we never belong to another. We Choose to be with that person for our own selfish reasons. I enjoy him because he makes me feel good when I bring him lunch. I choose to see him because he smiles at me like no other man I have known. Though, with my highly compassionate heart, I tend to make major mistakes with men thus far. Any advice? All is appreciated whether sent personally or to the group. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
