This is part raving part prayer request. I wish I wasn't a freak. I feel as if I am a freak a freak with Asperger's. I wish I was allowed to think different things. What I mean by thinking different things is I am very attracted to a single man at my Church. It's probably wrong for me to be he has probably put me in the friend zone. I feel as if it were anyone else this would be ok but since it's me and I'm disabled it's wrong. I know there is nothing wrong with friends but thing is I have plenty friends and I got alot of icky going on and it would be so nice to get excited about someone taking me out and things like that. Plus I haven't been on a date in four years and I miss it I don't miss the person I dated but I miss the dating. It's so much fun for me to look forward to going out and thinking of what do I wear and just fun things like those I really miss. I miss the compliments and the attention I would get on a date it never crossed a line of course but I hope you know what I mean. Plus as I said I am very attracted to this man and its been a while since I been attracted to anyone. So I'm asking for prayers about all of this.

My dear you are not a freak and being attracted to someone is a natural instinct for humans, just because you are disabled has nothing to do with whom you can date. you are a very attractive woman and im sure if he isnt attracted to you then someone is. Go to God about this he can and will guide you

Please don't ever think bad about yourself for any reason. I will pray for you and perhaps this single man in your church would love to ask you out if he knew that you found him attractive. Maybe you could drop him a little hint.

Hugs Jenny,
Dont see yourself as a freak, because you are not.
Have you ever noticed the tree that was bent and different because of what changed its growth?
More often it is far more beautiful, and often bares the richest fruit. :)
The average we see every day, the unique is rare and trully tresured. :)
You are in my prayers in Jesus for all you ask, and also, that you will know the beautiful treasured one you are, that God created you to be.

Hugs and God bless

My young sister.......I sure hope your not a freak......cause you just describe most of the single woman I know....
Then we all would be freaks.......I think you are a beautiful girl.....your disabilities are something for you to
help others. ..so I guess that means your able......people who suffer like you need you.....you my dear are special
in the eyes of our Father.....He has a special plan for you.....and I cant say for sure but that includes a husband for
you.....becoming friends first is a good thing....thats how you learn to love someone.....I dont want a husband I cant
have as a friend.....so dont look at this as bad....do what God tells you....keep being a blessing to others . ..as you do right
here on the c.c.....and in Gods time you will have what you desire. Be patient ....and keep typing. ....love and peace ...jo

I love psychomom's response! God made you perfectly as He needed you. None of us are perfect. Heck, even Moses had a speech impediment. Moses often wondered how he was going to speak to all the people with LLLLet my pppeeeppple g-g-g-g-go! He thought he couldn't lead! But God told him to let Him speak for him and he did! God uses us ....just as we are.

Don't let the Aspergers be a stumbling block. There is someone out there who will accept you and you him.

It is better to be alone for a spell than to be with the wrong guy or a string of creepy guys. Done that a very long time ago and simply not worth it.

Maybe join a Bible study or something like that to meet someone that thinks like you do.

I met my husband in a Bible study 24 years ago.

Just don't compromise your values for any man and seek integrity and good character. Not all men in churches are true Christian's. Get to know him good and test him out to see if he is real and what he is really made of.

Dear Father In Heaven

I pray on behalf of Your daughter Jenny who is a lovely young woman with a hearts desire. Father please give her the courage to go and just talk with this young man at her church. Help them to become friends and if it is according to Your will then maybe more. You are so good to us and love us with everything You've got so help her not to feel badly about herself as she is a child of the King of the Universe and has great value. Build her self confidence and help her to always cling to You with her whole heart and help her to trust and have faith in You that you will give her a life that is worth living until she meets You in heaven. Thank You in Jesus Name Amen
