    Friendship Advice - Help needed
    I'm posting this again because I got hardly ANY responses at the first attempt of posting..

    So anyway, I would just like to know that when you're talking to someone you don't know very well and you want to make friends with with this person, do you feel that it's recommended that you "spread it out" which means that you don't speak to them for a day or two before you speak to them again after that period, just in case you're putting pressure on the potential friendship?

    Sorry I do suffer from AS (Asperger Syndrome) so making friends is pretty hard for me..

    Advice is appreciated.

    Calm down bro. I think it depends on how often you see them. If you have literally just me them then I would recommend spreading it out. If it is somebody you see regularly e.g at school or college then there is nothing wrong in talking to them most days. Hope this helps.

    Don't speak to them everyday about nothing if it's over the internet, i did that for the past few months with someone i'd gotten so emotionally attached to and it ended in tears yesterday. Not cool.
    PS: stop being so nasty because no one has commented on ur thread.

    My brother has aspergers syndrome so I know how hard it can be for him to talk to new people and make new friends. Do you mean not txt or contact this person for a day or two? If so, I wouldn't reply immediately but I also wouldn't wait too long to talk to them again because that may make you come across as being rude.
    "Do you mean not txt or contact this person for a day or two?" Yeah, that's what I mean.. Thank you
