And since your posts tended to come after some that were sarcastic, I probably made some false assumptions. Thank you though.
I don't know what posts you're referring to, but I take what you're going through seriously. I am having the same issue but with me, marriage is not even in the cards.. so I have no reason to joke in here.

I've had to deal with being different all my life, though it didn't really bother me until after I finished high school. But yeah, I know my family loves me, and I love them. But I tend to feel like I'm the odd one out. It's not something I cry about often but I have more than once.

Believe it or not, I am also the odd one out in my family and I always felt it and now I struggle with it more than ever.. And right now I can't even think about finding love because there's just too much I need to work on and right now I see no light at the end of the tunnel and it seems like there may never be any.

Well, this may sound canned, but despite our numerous predictions and calculations, nobody really knows for sure what's gonna happen tomorrow.

If you're interested we could go to private messaging on this site, since I don't really want simple conversations to take up a whole forum. But for now, I'm off to bed, so, good night.

Good night. And good point.

in short, you are pretty much at a point where you would consider praying that God can somehow take your DNA (ie: your hair) and create such a man from the ground for you, if God is willing to do that for you, just like how Eve came from Adam's ribs

it's a biblical miracle that depends on God's will, but if you are aware of this possibility, you will consider it

if I'm right about how you are feeling about this
I am not trying to speak for HP, but what i see is a person seeking to have a connection with another person, while also struggling with an issue that can only be satisfied by first finding that connection. And since that connection isn't coming easy for her, neither is her other struggle able to be resolved. This fantasy you've crafted of her desiring some custom, made to order, husband falls deeply into the bounds of ridiculous.
She seems to be desiring what most people want, what entire businesses and web sites dedicate themselves to help people find. Love and connection. But since she has problems out of her control that affect her ability to function easily in such ways it only increases her frustration.
While i do not agree with her on all things she's said in this thread, i do agree that she's right in knowing herself well enough to know what she needs in a man. It's actually rather wise of her and has nothing to do with expecting this miraculous man being formed especially for her. If only more people had such insight into themselves, and the ability to admit it and own it, we may see less failed marriages.

Wow, you actually took the time to think about what I meant in these posts. Thank you.

I've been told God is probably protecting me since I've never dated, protecting me from getting my heart broken. I don't want to be protected. I'm not a baby anymore. And I'm sick of everyone treating me like their ward. As for never getting my heart broken, I say, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

And I'm sick of trying to see any benefits of having Aspergers. All I see is that it's made me unable to have even the simplest emotional connections with people. All it's done is make me lonely, isolated, frustrated, and freakish. I feel like I'm wasting my young years by trying to be happy and fighting depression and loneliness, years I will never get back.

I honestly would rather have cancer than Aspergers. At least with cancer people see and care about the pain you're in. But loneliness? You're on your own. I'm busy with my own life. Who cares if loneliness has the same effect on the body as smoking 15 cigarettes a day? Who cares if it affects your health? I've got my own life to live. I'm much too important to take any time to help you carry your burden as Christians are supposed to do.

Both my Aspergers and my sex drive are just crosses and burdens.

Apparently something as simple as talking to someone with no technology takes too much effort and is too much of a nuisance for this world of snowflakes.

Besides, we have God! What more could we possibly want?

If you were around here, I'd talk to you without the aid of technology. I actively work on it. I've made every female, including the ones I was taking enforcement action against, smile today. I'm getting quite good.

I'm sure you are.

One thing I like to do for a laugh is watching things about conspiracy theories. Not to agree with them but just laugh at their ridiculousness.

What makes conspiracy theories fun, is every once in awhile, one of them is true.

Yes but those tend to be few and far between, which goes to show that people really will believe just about anything.

But it does make you wonder
Which is why I like to follow Sherlock Holmes' method of deduction. Rule as many things out as you can.

There are still, unfortunately, people who believe the Earth is flat. Then again, the idea that that was the dominant view in the middle ages isn't exactly true.

Yes, people throughout antiquity, understood the earth is round.

History princess,

Do men ever make eye contact with you, and smile?

There are actually plenty of misconceptions about the middle ages, and plenty of other time periods. For one thing, not everyone married at 13, and suits of armor were no heavier than a firefighter's uniform.

Plus, democracy was not invented in Greece. Nor did Roman men, at least the rich ones, wear togas.
