I am confused with that statement so is your tumblr page coz u just illustrated your statement above. So even with your statement with illustrations. I don't get it.

First off. what do u mean no matter where she lives? Are you saying you ask women out on dates even if they are out of state? via online dating websites? well ya it's nuts because it is not practical and not being realistic.

I doubt they pointblank tell u/compare u to these people though maybe it's just your imagination.

So, how exactly are you asking women out? Are these women people you know in person, that you've created a rapport with, and that you're fairly certain are into you a little? Or are you asking anyone with T&A in the first five minutes of conversation?

I just try to be friends with them online, if they live out if state. And NO, I really don't go beyond a good friendship to start with.

It should be known that I am an Aspie, and before you rail on the fact that I am using it as an excuse; it is a serious problem for some of us.

Onward....

Simply put, I am not having much luck with girls because of the social awkwardness and the aforementioned being-compared-to-maniacs. I feel sad, and that coupled with being a virgin still doesn't help matters.

I totally understand your social awkwardness but what I'm not understanding is WHY they're comparing you to those people. What exactly are you saying that these women suddenly feel creeped out? What is it about you, other than AS, that gives reason for these women to not even befriend you?

Have you always known you're an Aspie or was it recently diagnosed? Do you have a therapist or have gone to sessions to teach you how to control/filter what you say? Have you thought about joining an organization dedicated to AS? Sometimes the only people who can truly understand you are those who are like you. Other people may mistake your awkwardness and not really "get" you.

I'd suggest not referring to yourself as "a quarter of a century old"....that might help ease some of the pressure

Maybe you're coming on too strong or too aggressively.

Why are you under that impression? You're here asking for advice but you're not exactly telling everything. Other than AS, is there anything else? Bi-polar? I can't see why someone would assume that others see him as a maniac. I know several Aspies and none of them would even think to compare themselves as some type of "maniac". Unless you give examples as to why you think this way, I don't see how anyone here can help you.
