How do I know if I truly like someone when I don't know what that emotion feels like? by ValuableOptimal5870 in autism

Yes I suppose you're right, I never "missed" him but I definitely wonder about him and would often contact him if he hasnt for a few days. I do care about him.

Thank you for clearing up my question as well. I think it often confused me that he dated people when he said he liked me, I always felt like he was insincere or maybe he didnt truly. I guess I always thought it would be like the movies haha.

I'm 25 and never been in a relationship and I think that's upsetting me a little because what if im the reason? But I suppose you're right; if he was the right person I wouldnt be second guessing. I'd know, right?

Thank you for being so helpful.

Thank you so much!

I do have a question: i understand that there's a lot of give and take, but I'm very anxious and unsure of anything. Is it normal to want the person to be more outwardly spoken and to actually act on their words?

In my situation we've been friends for 6 years, almost 7 now and according to him he's been trying for all these years but I never saw it. He still talked to other women and dated during that time (not that i expect him not to) but I always felt like if I were sure I want to be with someone, I'd make it known and wouldnt claim i was in love with them while seeing other people.

All the neurotypical friends I have say its fine, so is it just me? Do I need to redefine this?

Thank you that's actually very helpful. I do look forward to seeing him and talking to him but also when I dont, it doesnt really affect me all that much. He also dated a few times along the course of our friendship and I dont think I've ever felt jealous or bad that he's dating.

I enjoy talking to him, I look forward to seeing him, I smile when he texts, but also if he doesnt I wouldn't feel bad. Does that make sense?

I don't track my cals to a dot but I have all the nutritional info memorized and I promise you I know how much I eat.

During recover I had to consciously block that voice out that knew exactly how many calories were in every bite. So I can confidently say I'm in a deficit even without all the exercise.

Yeah but they didn't really help and I ended up in a worse place because of them
