You know when you're comfortable around someone you like? So much so that you could both be naked, chilling together, watching a movie and actually get through it. Well that was me and Jack, I call him JJ. He respected my boundaries. Wow your standards are that low?! No…yeah.
When you're aspec, the whole "hey so we'll probably like never have sex unless it's a blue moon and I feel sexually attracted to you" thing kinda takes a lot of fish out of the pond. But JJ stuck around and never made me feel like I had to change to be appreciated. We found other ways to be intimate like making cookies from scratch at midnight while listening to classical versions of popular songs.
I never knew where we stood though. You could say we were really good "friends." The kind that make out and occasionally cuddle without shirts on- sometimes pants.
That's who we were until I met Colin. Colin's the type of person that knows what he wants and goes after it. I think that's part of what drew me to him. "I would love to see you again and take you out to dinner but as my girl next time, what do you say?" I felt wanted. "Yeah I'd like that."
