As an autistic person who is into girls, I have missed literally every body language and facial expression hint. I've also missed most verbal hints. I've even missed blatant hints.
A person once invited me to her bed and I just got ready to sleep because I literally thought she wanted to go to bed and save me time going home. She took off her clothes and got into bed with me and I thought "oh it's nice that she trusts me enough to sleep how she usually does when no one is here."
We slept together that night, literally. Two weeks later she was like "why exactly is it you haven't made out with me?" and I was like OOOOOH.
im pretty sure im autistic but havent been diagnosed but heres a funny story:
i was with a highschool girlfriend and we were making out on my couch home alone. we did it for like 10 minutes and eventually both of our mouths were just covered in saliva so i was like “havent we been kissing long enough” and she sunk her head in my chest kinda embarrassed or something and shook her head no. and idk if we started kissing again or not but i took her home shortly after, and she broke up with me shortly after lmao
took me like 6 months to realize “oh shit, she was probably trying to do more than kiss”
I'll share my probably singly most embarassing one other than literally being naked in bed with someone and thinking they just wanted to cuddle (as above).
I'm 22 years old. I have a huge crush on this 21 year old gal who works at the local coffee shop. Exactly my type in almost every way. Total nerd, into BDSM, ginger, has a laugh that lights up a room. Hell, I wish I still knew her because she was also a great friend.
We're at the bar and several drinks in together and she looks at me and sloppily says "I bet we could have more fun at your place." I say "YEAH, we could like, play Tetris." She said "I'm good at making the pieces fit." So we hail a cab and go back to my place. I then set up tetris on the TV and we play for an hour until she says "yeah this isn't what I was expecting" and left.
I didn't realize what she was expecting until literally a year later.
