People kept saying he was crazy. He had told them his mother had had him tested. Even his mother had told them she had had him tested, but they still insisted he was crazy and he didn't understand why.
There were lots of things he didn't always understand.
His latest problem was Amy. Penny had begun questioning Sheldon on him partaking in a sexual relationship with am and for the life of him Sheldon could not work out how he had come to get himself into this position.
It had all started so very well.
He hadn't wanted to meet her but the thought if soiled hosiery in his apartment was too much to suffer so he had gone along with the mad scheme. He had been genuinely surprised when he met Amy. She was suitably attired, not having most of her flesh on display. She was very clear in her expectations of both him and the date, and he found the time spent with her acceptable.
It was the fault of the Penny really. She was so friendly and enthusiastic about all relationships, that Amy had been sucked in. Her quiet reserve which had attracted him to Amy in the first place was being replaced with a need to 'fit in'.
Now Sheldon found himself with 'a girlfriend', and if that wasn't bad enough she was a girlfriend who had decided she expected things from him and he wasn't entirely sure what those things were.
He had tried talking to Leonard. He had even tried talking to Penny and Leonard but all they had done was laugh, buy him a disgusting book, and tell him to read it.
He didn't know what to do.
Deciding to make a list of the things that were worrying him Sheldon pulled out his notepad and a pen and wrote the title
Questions for Amy.
1) Why do you get upset if I don't want to hug/touch you?
This question had been bothering Sheldon for a while. When he first met Amy she was as adverse to physical contact as he was. But now she thought he was being unreasonable when he was reluctant to hug her or hold her hand.
Granted Sheldon had initiated hand holding on the occasion of Howard blasting off into space, but that was quite literally a once in a lifetime experience, and surely Amy could see that. Going to the cinema however was not and yet she deemed him unreasonable when he was reluctant to hold her hand through out the film.
Women!
He decided he would send Amy an email and see if she would be open to some online questioning. Maybe at this safe distance he could get some answers and not be mauled in the process.

From Dr Sheldon L Cooper
Amy, I am a little concerned that I have some questions about our relationship which I can not find answers too without some input from you. Please would you consider helping me move forward in my understanding by clarifying certain questions I have.
Kind regards
Dr Sheldon Cooper.
Sheldon sat staring at his in box for a while wondering if Amy would respond tonight.
Feeling a little more relaxed Sheldon settled down to watch Star Trek, thrilled to have the place to himself.
The ping ping of his laptop told Sheldon he had received a reply from Amy. He was a bit nervous as to her reaction to his email seeing as he had seen her earlier and had not raised any concerns.

Thank you for your email Sheldon. Of course I will answer any questions you may have, although why you didn't ask me when I was driving you home from the cheese cake factory I don't know.
I await you first question.
Amy

Sheldon frowned when he saw the x. see this was exactly the type of thing to confuse him.
