asperger syndrome dating help?!


Question: Asperger syndrome dating help?
im in 11th grade and have mild aspergers syndrome. i actually do a pretty good job of hiding it. in fact i come across as normal except being quiet and "cute". there was a church retreat for my youth group and me and a bunch of other kids went. i played guitar and sang a jack johnson song in this talent show thing they had. this girl named Amanda i was trying to get to like me apparently likes me now. one of the guys that slept in my cabin overheard her saying that i "literally stole her heart" or something. i know i could probably get her to go out with me but would it be weird cus i dont have very many friends? and shes a cheerleader at another school so would she judge me?

Follow my logic on this one...

Remember, you never get a second chance at making a first impression.
People will judge you - it's human nature.
When it comes to dating, friends can ruin things for you.

Okay, here's how this all fits together:

You did the talent show thing and made your big first impression. Things went great. Don't blow your big opportunity by waiting around. Strike while the iron is hot.

She has already judged you. She likes you. She thinks you are talented and cool. Since you don't get a second chance to make a first impression, you're "stuck" with the reputation of being a talented and "cool" guy. (Having people judge you isn't always a bad thing - if they think highly of you, it's to your advantage).

Sometimes friends try to steal your girl. Sometimes friends get jealous because you will start spending less time with them and more time with a girl. Sometimes friends will try to sabotage your relationship (this is especially true in high school). Don't worry about not having lots of friends - it's less of a headache that way. If the cheerleader is curious as to why you don't have lots of friends, it's because you are seriously into music and studying - you take your music as seriously as she takes her sports (cheerleading).

Finally, be sure to show self confidence. Everyone has a cross to bear. Some girls hate their bodies (a lot of cheerleaders believe that their thighs are too big and muscular). Some people know they are dumb; some folks are manic depressive; some kids feel inferior because one of their parents is a "bum" (dad is a drunk, mom is a whore). Some kids have herpes sores on their lips. And the list goes on... Rather than viewing yourself as "almost normal," view yourself through the eyes of others - a cool talented stud who has a cheerleader who wants to date him!!!

Good luck on your date!
