Hello :) - I think I am talking to a guy with Aspergers

Hope you are all well :)

Firstly, it is wrong to make assumptions but I definately feel like I am "connecting" with this guy. I do not know if he has aspergers, or it is only social anxiety. But I do feel sometimes I am making him uncomfortable which I do not want to.

He has mentioned he usually feels awkward with getting to know someone. He said he feels he makes others feel awkward but he feels it himself. I said to him, it is ok if he feels awkward around me and we can work on that as long as he wants to get to know me. He said yes.

He writes texts so long, that intially I felt a bit taken back. He hates himself making mistakes. His errors bug him. This guy is intelligent and I felt a little intimidated. So I thought I need to call this off.

But then I decided to hold off. I told him let's take the pressure of this dating thing and try being friends. To which he agreed. And I think I am starting to connect. I haven't met him but still...

He likes cartoon more than most people. I find that refreshing too.

And you know what the other refreshing thing is? in the week that we have texted, not once has he mentioned the awkward discussion on sex. I really like talking to him....

Again, I hope I do not offend anyone. I just feel that he is "different". I am "different" in the sense I have bipolar. So I could be wrong as I am wrong about a lot of things, but I do think that he may have it.

Hi r85.
It's hard to say if he's an aspie based on the data you provided. He may simply have a very low self-esteem(=perfectionism), social anxiety, depression - the list is endless. If you have questions, ask but we may not be able to help you. Keep in contact with him, don't press him to do anything, observe his behaviour and read about AS.

Or simply ask him.
