I have Asperger's. It means that I have difficulty reading people and understanding situations. I know that. Which, in turn, means that I spend a lot of my life not knowing if the people around me are my friends or not. Or whether my friends like me or not. Or it takes me a while to realise that someone I thought was my friend is actually acting against me. So the advice I'm looking for on this is not "let it just play out" or "see what happens". Because my whole life looks like that and it's really unsettling.
I met someone at the end of November. i met him on POF. He has not checked his online profile since that first date. Due to our work and family commitments, we see each other about once a week. Very occasionally twice. That suits me. We chat via Whatsapp every day to a greater or lesser degree (I don't use the phone and either or both of us has our children with us most days).
I like him. He seems to like me. I'm not seeing anyone else and he says he's not and hasn't been on any dates since he met me.
The thing is, I don't know if we are boyfriend/girlfriend or just 'seeing each other' or 'dating' or what. I need to know really because I won't become emotionally attached until I know that it is safe or appropriate to do so. So I can't just see where it goes because until I know, it won't 'go' anywhere. If that makes sense...
The thing is, I don't know how to broach the subject with him and could do with some advice. Thanks.
