I don't understand men... He flirted with me extensivly on FB messenger... IRL lets me do stuff like rub his hair, but then turns around and gives me reason x y and z why we can't date then tells me I should have "understood" he wasn't serious... I have Asperger's and maybe there were non-verbal cues I didn't pick up on???

Ok. How is he flirting? Does he know you have Asperger's?

Flirting by sending stickers of hearts and "I love you" on FB messenger... He knows I have autism but I don't know how much he knows about it...

You did not miss anything.

He isn't treating you right.
Thanks for this!

Ya, he's not "flirting". He's misleading you. Not nice.
Thanks for this!

I would stay away from him. Hes sending you stickers on Facebook... with the text "I love you" and throwing you hearts... allowing you to do certain things like rubbing on his hair... making excuses not to date you sounds cold and harsh. I would block him and lose his number.

He's a creep.. stay away from him.
Thanks for this!

Have to agree with some of the posters here.

How do you feel about this? Do you still wish to be friends with this person?

Based on what you've told us, I have personally observed friends be like this towards each other. Physical touch, expressing love, flirting, but are just friends. So he may not have been intentionally misleading you.
Whether you misread anything, well, he didn't give any indication it wasn't serious. Even if you did misinterpret some things though, it doesn't detract from how you feel.

Even if he didn't realize what he did to lead you on. He could have simply apologized that he hurt you, and that it wasn't his intention to lead you on. Instead, he deflected the blame on you, invalidating your feelings and showing no compassion or remorse.

If you don't want to stay in touch with him any longer, or stay away from him for awhile, that's completely valid as well.

Im curious though. Did you ask him out? Or did he bring it up himself reasons why you can't date?

His main reasons he sited were he's a relative by marriage and he doesn't date mentally ill people...

The truth is he's a registered sex offender (he denies he did it) diagnosed with Antisocial Personally... My online friends have been concerned about me...

I agree, keeping distance is a good idea.
