Social Anxiety, Asperger's and Dating

Postby bleumare » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:49 pm

So.. there is this guy I fancy.
I think he is interested in getting to know me, but I'm afraid once he finds out about my neuroses (anxiety, depression, ocd... to name a few), he won't like me anymore. Also, I got incredibly anxious the last couple of times I met him with his friends. I just communicate with him through texts now, as I stumble for words whenever I am with him and I just end up sounding terse and uninteresting. And the fact that he is charming and can speak so eloquently just adds to my anxiety. He has been texting me and wants to hang out (just the two of us) and I've been postponing the date as I'm nervous and don't know how to behave or speak!
This has been really bothering me. He probably thinks I don't like him as I keep pushing him away!

Anyone else in the same boat as me? What would you do?

Yes i was in this same exact position. My insecurity about my issues has gotten worse in the past year and i used to be really good at talking to guys. I tried with this one guy that i liked so much, and he is also very intelligent and eloquent and i am not. I also am very short and struggle with words with him because i am very attracted to him and am afraid for him to find out who i really am. and he was also interested in getting to know me better. I have backed away from him completely because I just feel too insecure right now to be with this guy. I figure if i somehow come into contact with him in the future when i'm feeling more secure in myself, maybe something can happen. but right its just too hard for me to deal with. i wish you luck in your situation, if you don't mind, post what happens maybe it can help me or someone else in our situation.
