If the only reason you want to have a girlfriend is to make high school classmates jealous and to make people in general think you're cooler than you actually are, then yes, you would be using her as a prop.
A sexless relationship is better than a relationship where the man uses the woman for sex. At least I have her best interest in mind.
And I know other people that think their relationship is a status symbol. That means they're using her as a prop.
1. me
2. the fact that there are people who look like me that a lot of girls are into
3. Some girls said they find me attractive (some told me directly, some I found out through the grapevine, some told me anonymously so I don't know who they are)
I'm so glad someone has said what I've been thinking for some time now.
Like Darren said, you need to get a proper diagnosis. And if Asperger's is indeed the diagnosis, it's not 'just something I need to accept'. What you need to accept is that the condition means (very, very basically) that your brain doesn't accurately process things, and takes social interactions way too literally, which can make you come off sounding stupid, or rude. So when you come on here and ask questions or ask for people's points of view, you need to accept that the majority of responders are probably right and you are probably wrong.
The good news is that people with Asperger's are usually very intelligent, so with the help of a therapist and your own intelligence you should be able to learn to live with Asperger's (if indeed you have it), while at the same time fitting better into your environment and the world.
Just because I have Asperger's syndrome doesn't mean I'm wrong.
And I wasn't going to say this, but since so many people make psychologist comments...
For your information, I used to go to a psychologist and the psychologist also told me I had Asperger's syndrome.
I worked on my Asperger's over the years and my Asperger's is not as extreme as it used to be. Hell, I was only on the mild end of the Asperger's spectrum to begin with.

I'm way better off now than I was 5 years ago.
In a lot of cases it WILL mean you are wrong, simply because you do not understand typical social interactions. If you did understand them you wouldnt post the questions you post.

I'm not a mind reader. Neither are you.
To completely understand social interactions, you would need to be a mind reader. A lot of people wonder about stuff...why? Because THEY DON'T KNOW. They can't read minds.

Your right, i'm not, but im most likely better in social situations than you. I can pick up on non-verbal cues, I understand certain social situations better than you. If you do have Aspergers then it will mean by default you will not be as good at these things naturally as someone without it.
