Hey all! I have Aspergers and may well be too socially awkward to ever find love; how can I deal with this in a graceful manner? When people ask me about my past relationship history, it gets awkward. Also, I have difficulty talking to women in a platonic sense; they say I have no filter. It seems like a minefield every time I speak, even platonically, to a woman. Forget romantic interactions with women-I am seen as a creep when I try to show that I am romantically interested in women. I suspect that I am so awkward socially that it's...understood that I'll probably die alone, maybe friendless, and that any attempt to break out of this state is seen as being something like a used-car salesman passing off a POS as a nearly-new car.

I know that natural selection is alive and well and that it's only right that I die alone, but I do not understand why women between 20 and 40 do not like talking to me, even platonically. If they're old enough to be my mother, they feel sorry for me.

I just want to be tolerated and seen like a normal guy...I know I am dying alone due to Aspergers but I never realized that I might not be able to interact with women in a platonic sense!
