    I think that might be due to the fact that women are naturally more clingy, affectionate and like to be close while people on the spectrum really appreciate their independence and naturally express the same things differently while men are ok with being naturally more distant.

So if she was faking her crazy stuff then she isn’t comfortable with herself. Also, I notice he is a very deep thinker and in touch with his emotions and others. Maybe, his feelings were too strong for her.

    I thought sharing the fact that she was diagnosed with autism (On the first date) this was not necessary as it was not evident in any shape or form at that stage, coupled with her licking the menu and then pulling off her lashes, were all signs that she was not going to take this relationship any further, I am convinced that if she was smitten with her date, these behaviours would not have materialised. She is a bit too goofy and at times talks too much without listening to her partner.

    This was one of the oddest First Dates I've ever watched! They're both oddballs in their own way. He is way too cocky - his picking her up right upon meeting was bizarre. I have to admit that I was entertained, and maybe that's all First Dates is about. I thought that she was warming up to him and was actually going to say Yes to a second date. (He obviously was into her.) But I was caught off guard when she just wanted to be "friends" - a smart choice by her but I thought that seeing all his big muscles was clouding her good judgement.
