    I ditched someone I have feelings for. Did I do the right thing?

    I hear what you're saying but at the moment I'm not sure how I can protect myself from getting hurt, because if she reunites with her ex then I'm going to be hurt in any case. That is inevitable. The fact is that as long as I'm her friend there's always going to be this ray of hope that...

    I ditched someone I have feelings for. Did I do the right thing?

    An update on this for anyone interested. The girl seemed to miss my friendship and after a few weeks sought me out by contacting a friend of mine. My friend attempted to play the wingman and suggested she gives me a try (in a romantic fashion) but she said it's hard for her when she's still in...

    I ditched someone I have feelings for. Did I do the right thing?

    Thanks guys, good to know others agree with what I did. I guess at the moment I'm feeling quite down because it's still sinking in and I feel that I've lost the friendship with her. It's true that you don't know what you have until it's gone sometimes. :(

    I ditched someone I have feelings for. Did I do the right thing?

    Hey everyone, I posted here a while back about a girl in my life and I got some helpful responses from you guys. (See here: What should I do about this girl?) To cut a long story short I was close to this girl at college (at the time she had a boyfriend) and we have had on-off contact since we...

    What should I do about this girl?

    @MrSpock thanks for your detailed response, good to know I'm not the only one in this kind of situation. For anyone reading there have been some new developments so to speak, basically a couple of weeks back (just before Valentines day) she split up from one of her bad boys and almost...

    What should I do about this girl?

    Thanks so much for all the input guys, it means a lot. I guess I've just got to try and not put all my eggs in one basket, but if the right opportunity comes along to ask her then I will try and see what happens. I do believe it's possible to bring out the best in people sometimes.

    What should I do about this girl?

    Thanks for the responses, and yeah you're probably both right. It's just hard because I've never been this close to a girl before, and nobody new has come along to take my focus away. To be honest the only time it would "feel" right to go for it would be if we had some other reason to...

    What should I do about this girl?

    Hi, I'm not a regular poster here, but would appreciate some fellow Aspie guidance in this situation. First of all some background info, basically I'm a 20 year old guy with a diagnosis of ASD. I've never had a girlfriend in my life, at the moment I am not in employment because of various...

    I have an obsession over Facebook

    Sorry for not making this clear before, but unfortunately that isn't possible because my fixed idea at the time caused me to use a link from the Facebook help centre to permanently delete my account. After that you get a 2 week window where your account is deactivated and can change your mind...

    I have an obsession over Facebook

    Thanks for your detailed response and apologies for replying to this late. I can really relate to the thing you said about renewing sense of identity. To reveal more about my story, in February I fell out with some friends over something silly and I decided to stay off of Facebook until further...

    I have an obsession over Facebook

    Like many Aspies I've had obsessions which manifest through various things in my life. At one point it was to do with my insecurity about my height. Most recently I have been obsessed with social media, specifically Facebook. It seems to be kind of an OCD. This isn't entirely new - in the past I...

    Managing unhealthy obsessions

    Is it really that painful to be 5ft 3 as a female? I think it's a LOT worse to be short and male. I'm just 5ft 4in (well maybe 5ft 4 and a half). Whether I like it or not I'm going to face stigma in my life because of that fact. The female equivalent of that would be more like 4ft 11.

    MAKING AND KEEPING FRIENDS WITH NT's

    Correction: As an Aspie I obviously analyze things way too much which is why logic and feelings can get mixed up.

    MAKING AND KEEPING FRIENDS WITH NT's

    Grumpy Cat Well I do realise at one point this guy clicked with me and showed interest in a friendship, but as far as I'm concerned I damaged it by behaving the way I did. I don't know if the friendship was actually developing and I missed the signals, but now it's already in the past and it's...

    MAKING AND KEEPING FRIENDS WITH NT's

    DogwoodTree royinpink Spiller Well, I think I've pretty much decided to go with my gut feeling regarding the guy I haven't spoke to in 6 months, which is basically that the friendship didn't develop, partly because I wasn't proactive enough (and because of my anxieties, my personality didn't...
