Eh, I can sort of relate to some of that...but I don't have the disorder.

I don't understand what you're looking for. Why does it have to be the opposite sex? Overall, it just sounds like you want a friend. What do you mean by "attached' to the person? Someone you can call when you're upset or bored and want to go do something?


I think you're just over thinking it. It's easier to go out and pick up someone to date. You can go to a bar or a club and pick up a date but you can't go to a bar or club and come home with a friend. A good friendship takes time to build. Even people with many friends don't have that one "best friend".

I think you just need to find someone you click with and have things in common with. You don't need to manipulate someone into being your friend. "Schizoid" is not a good excuse for it. Manipulating someone makes you an asshole.
I haven't made a real life friend since Jr. High. Years after highschool, I didn't become "friends" with anyone until I got to know a few people online. Some weren't even real "friends", they were just people I met who had similar interests.. like On Craigslist I responded to an ad for a walking partner and we used to meet at the park and walk and talk about basically nothing. We didn't have all that much in common except that and we still had fun and got along well.
