Is it normal I cannot tell when a girl is trying to flirt with me?

  • Do you have Aspergers, by any chance?

    • I do and in some ways I'm really high functioning and extroverted but in other ways such as reading non-verbal languages I am really impaired. I think I'm high functioning to where my aspergers is not noticeable (as far as I can tell) but on my evaluations I have tested worse that even someone with low functioning autism on reading non-verbal language which I don't seem to understand whatsoever. I also have adhd and schizoaffective disorder which may add to this. I'm not sure.

      It seems this problem was rated normal though so maybe this has nothing to do with it.

      • I just remembered. There was a book that I used to rent at a library that was about body language. It talked about how people flirt and how you could find out through their body language. It was by a woman and I think the book may have been red with, perhaps, white lettering. I can't remember what the title was. Sorry.

      • I also have have the ADD/ADHD. Did you know that there are actually seven types of ADD, instead of two?

        As I have stated elsewhere, I and others have long had the suspicion of me having Aspergers. What you've described in your post reminds of myself.

        I tend to have the difficulty with reading expressions and understanding the do's and don'ts of certain behavior. People can flirt with me but, it will often go flying over my head. Some people think that I am sending love signals to them when I am not.

        I don't know about you, but I hope that my symptoms aren't that obvious. I am so self-conscious that now they might be.

        Life is so weird. Perhaps, watching movies where there's proper romance in them could help? I mean films that show courtship. Display flirting. That might make it easier to spot in real time.

        Apparently, there exists quite a few people who are introverted, shy, socially awkward, so maybe they are inputting this as a form of that?
