Aspies For Freedom

You look like two drops of water like Nicki Clyne on that photo:



IMO, that girl kinda defines the 'cute' factor in Sci-fi today, along with Jewel Staite.

Two drops of water?  I don't get it.  How does a person look like 2 drops of water?  Is Nicki Clyne an actress or something?  Well the most that I processed from your message is the basic idea that you think I'm cute, so, thanks

Sorry if I possibly mistranslated one of my local expressions in English. In that photo you look really similar to her, that also depends on the lighting conditions and the way the photo is taken. I like your longer hair better, BTW

A better cut one ;P

The toher one upper photo is not a nurse ;P Its some artist from a very disgusting music range .. (I dont know the genre exactly , it is Hiphop with very rude texts.

Darnit, quote system works different here

How peculiar, thankfully your coworker explained it to you - but I can see how in the business world it would be hard to tell the difference. After all it's normal to invite male colleagues for drinks, from what I can gather.

I didn't get hit on that often but the proportion was probably about the same. The problem is the kinds of people who tend to just approach strangers and propose in a sexual or flirtatious way are often people that are either drunk or just otherwise "too intense", and not people that MOST people would even want to talk to.

It is easier in the working environment, or in a school, to get to know people and observe them I guess, and when someone approaches you in that kind of situation it can be quite "harmless" at first (i.e. just go for a drink), so both the inhibition to approach someone is a bit smaller, and it's not so "full-on" as to be embarrassing for the person being approached.

I don't know about eye contact (it's difficult for anyone to make eye contact with me in the first place) but looking in your direction, and possibly turning to their friends and whispering to each other. Even giggling, but there the problem is how do you tell if they are really finding you attractive or if you're walking around with your zip undone and they are giggling about that?

LOL that is so true. What if honestly proves to be the opposite of "the correct response"?

I don't know if that is what she "wants" and since she will be leaving the company this summer at the end of term I guess it's not as bad as if I told someone who is there permanently. But yes I don't think I would tell her. Perhaps when she leaves, I will ask for her Email address and tell her that way. Once she can't accidentally tell anyone at work anymore, you know?

That's the problem, as I said in the other thread. People who approach you or flirt with you are often not the people you would WANT to do so.

Schoolgirls creep me out. I'm not entirely sure why, certainly no trauma from childhood as we never had to wear school uniforms.

I'm sure you might find that amusing, especially if it was me walking  around with the zip undone.  

Not in the least actuallly - I want to tell the person about their mishap, but that puts me in the position of having to intiate a conversation, which isn't always easy.

It's easier when I am SURE about something, i.e. yes zip open is clear-cut, you can see that and once you have said what you want that's it, case closed (and zip closed).

But for example seeing someone waiting at a bus stop when you KNOW that the bus actually stops on the others side (the door is on the left so in a one-way street, that is where one MUST enter the bus, even if like at Wakefield train station, the sign is on the wrong side), that is tricky, because you don't know for sure if they are actually waiting for the bus. So the conversation has a good chance of not going the way you plan, because they might say something unexpected rather than say "Thank you, I hadn't realised".

I am getting better with taking the plunge in those situations though, because I know I am under no obligation to respond to someone whose reaction I can't understand. And if push comes to shove I can walk away or use a standard phrase like "Sorry, my mistake", rather than trying to explain at great length how I came to the mistaken conclusion.

That would certaintly be an unusual way of trying to attract female attention!

Good advice. If they meant it, they might initiate a conversation, if they were "mocking" for some reason then it will leave them lacking the satisfaction that their mockery was unsuccessful.

Well on an AS forum you can't expect people to read between the lines, I've tried to explain this to you before.
