oops wrong person hello sass

ty iam4u

sup kim..hugsssss

Oh well, I give up... Haha.

All I can say is take your time and enjoy life yes your 18 but if the
girls at 18 have had twice as many relationships think about it. For it
is not the quanity it is the quality one should be going for. My
daughter was 21 before she had her first boyfriend she put her time and
energy into school. The one and only boyfriend that she has now is a
real jewel he graduated with high grades as she did and he has been a
fulltime Firefighter since he got out of high school. So to me the best
advice it step back and enjoy your life and put your mind to school and
don't worry about having to have a b/f for now you will find someone
when your not even expecting it. Everything in life takes time just be
yourself and you will find the one that loves you for who
you.

ah your too young to settle down.just practice safe sex and enjoy
life.plenty of time to settle down or not.Sometimes relationships arent
all that..

dont give up girl

Oh, I don't plan on having sex with someone I'm not with. That's a
mistake I shouldn't have made.

Sweet don't give up & check back in here often because
people will post to you at all differnt hours.

You sound like a good gurl, so no worries!

just follow your heart & keep your head in control...

& up in the NEWBEES section is a thread advice for newbees

joshy & Sassy hugs GO READ IT TOO!!!

i find it hard to have sex with someone i'm not with...they have to be
in the same room..

Well just don't give up or think it is you. For love and life is
something we all learn on the way. There are no magical words to tell
one how to make love work or last for if there was we would not be here
ourselves. Just treat others with compassion and respect and always
expect the same fromt them don't settle for anything or anyone except
what makes you happy.

Hi Sweet!

Oh I could hug you! My daughter is 11 and she has Asperger's. So, YES I
know what Autism is. As beautiful and SMART as my daughter is, I forsee
her having the same issues you are dealing with as a woman. I think the
fight is to find someone real these days. Someone whose prorities are
beyond the usual 18 y/o male. Maybe someone who has had issues himself,
not necessarily social issues, but something that at least would bring
him "down to earth." My daughter prefers other children who are
Autistic. She says the only difference she sees in them is that they
would never be mean. Social acceptance can be a huge thing at any age.
And finding someone right for you can be hard for anyone and at any age.
At 30 I have had more than my share of hardships in life and am having a
hard time finding someone who is on the same level. Life is tough, hun
..Love is even tougher. I wish you the best and hope for your
happiness.

Best of luck!

Hey SweetlilGal, could you tell me for real here, because I don't know,
but as your 18 how does autisiam, affect your life?
I have met very young children who suffer great problems in all area's
of there life, but you are alot older than them..

Autism isn't something you "grow out of." Certain concepts may become
easier to understand. Overall the older you get the more understanding
your peers will be. Adults are much more understanding than teens and
such. But Auttism will always be a part of her life ..on some level.

Well, iam4u, while I have grown up a lot and am capable of having a life
of my own, a part of me still acts very much like a child. And I, of
course, am dependent on my friends and family.
In many ways, I'm different.
I have extreme shyness. I won't talk to very many people. And I also
have a tendency to ignore.
Sometimes, I wander away without telling others and walk into doors,
ignoring signs that might say "Keep Out".
I don't like to talk. If I'm frustrated or annoyed or upset or tired,
then I won't talk. I can't get the words out. And so I get more
frustrated when the person doesn't know what I want. So, it'd be nice,
if I could have a guy who knew at least the manual alphabet, because
I'll use sign language when I can't or won't speak.
One the biggest problems I have though is rocking and hand flapping.
Those are typical sypmtoms of Autistic children and adults. When someone
sees me rocking or flapping my hands, they don't know what to do. They
don't know if they should stop me or leave me alone. And it scares and
worries them. So, therefore, they tend to leave me. And it hurts.
I can't control who I am, but I know I can control half of my actions. I
also know people can learn more about Autism, so they'll know what to
expect.
While I can interact and talk and have fun like a normal person, when
people see my Autism, it's just scary for them. And so it makes it
harder for me to find love.

SweetLilGal,

I think uk1971 had some good points. Read that one again.

In your post you said "I put a lot of trust
into them. And I try my hardest to be the best girlfriend I can be."
Perhaps you shouldn't try so hard. Really! Imbalance exists when one
person wants the relationship way more than the other person does. I've
been on both sides of this, and neither one is all that much fun.

Instead of trying so hard (and therefor "hiding" the real you that the
other person may not like), just treat the budding relationship as a
discovery process; let it evolve.

hey sweet dont worry so much about the quanitity but more so about the
quality take things slow and there is a guy out there that wiil accept
you for who you are and everything that you are.

Take time to get to know someone
before you get committed to that person.

Don't put out too fast.

It's good to keep some mystery
in a relationship.
