just found this post hope she does agree to go out with you and it goes well. i'm also autistic and to an extent have been in a situation that is to an extent similar coz i fucked in it to an extent. the possible fuck up was that the friend i liked went to a different college than me and i went to a college i didn't want to which wasn't near the college of the friend i liked. what makes my situation annoying is i could of got with her if i went to the college i wanted to go to but my dad told me to go to "an appointment at the college i didn't want to go to enroll there" and i got enrolled there. and a couple weeks at the college i decided to get the friend i liked and a friend of ours a christmas present and when the day came and i got them their presents and get home our friend told me that she was speaking to someone else and i felt as if i was used. and i thought at somepoint of the week i'll give her present to a girl at the college i had a crush on. but i decided not to. and a month after giving her the presents ( forgot mention got her birthday is after christmas) i'm still friends with her but i believe i could never like her the way i did before because she lied to me a week or 2 before i got her the present. ( at the time i didn't know.) i only see her as just a friend but someone i have trouble having trust in. i sorta believe that she never even loved me the way i loved her. and she only found out coz i trusted someone with my crush on her as a secret. theres multiple pieces of evidence that believe show that she didn't love me but i won't discuss them. but anyway hope the outcome for the situation your in goes the way you want it to.
