Advice please

Okay, so you may have noticed that I am not the most polite or politically correct person around

one of my co-workers (younger female) met this guy on the internet and they have been emailing each other. I guess he mentioned that he is shy and has never been on a date before so she asked him why.

Here is his response... <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'm a bit socially awkward and not very good at making friends, but I would like to try! It's perhaps because I don't read non-verbal social cues quite well. I'm also quite literal in my speech and especially in writing. </div></div>

This combined with the &quot;verbosity&quot; of his emails leads me to belive that he has Aspergers. (<span style="font-size: 8pt">Asperger syndrome (pronounced /&amp;#712;æsp&amp;#602;g&amp;#602; &amp;#716;s&amp;#618;ndro&amp;#650;m/, also called Asperger's syndrome, Asperger's disorder, Asperger's or AS) is one of several autism spectrum disorders (ASD) characterized by difficulties in social interaction)</span>

I say she should email him back and ask him.....She says it may be rude....what say you?

nope...not rude....if he does...then people with Aspergers would freely tel it...and if he doesn't....then he's probably a geek anyhow. *shrug*

Re: Advice please

Not sure if it's Asperger's, but she should just ask. They haven't met yet, so not much invested, and if he is offended she can just move on.

My best friend met a socially awkward/never been on a date/35yr old virgin on cupid and they are getting married July 4th. He doesn't have Asperger's, he's just weird. Trying to be supportive 4 me
