What I am trying to say the main crux of my problem is that my social skills are not up to par (a few friendships have ended due to me being either too chatty or coming off as too desperate); the fact that fenales looking at me like I am Jerry Sandusky is just me..... but I get the feeling that may be true, when I'm nothing like him.
Nobody looks at you and thinks you're Jerry Sandusky. It's all in your head. If you have Asperger's Syndrome, you have a lot of trouble reading people's body language. So, the short of it is you have no clue what people are thinking when they look at you. In all likelihood, nobody looks at you and thinks you're Jerry Sandusky. So congratulations --- there's one less thing for you to have to worry about.
A few years ago, although I still don't have straight answer to my diagnosis, which is something I have- I have leaned towards the fact that I have it, for the sake of simplicity.

Well, don't let a label hold you back or keep you from having a fulfilling life, especially if you don't even know for sure if that label even applies to you. I went to a therapist once who said, who cares what your personality disorders or whatever you've got are called, let's just deal with the facts about what's wrong with your life. I think he had a good point.
You could probably benefit from talking to a therapist.
I'm a quarter century old. My biggest problem is my social awkwardness; which has been a MAJOR impediment in my life, and why I have not had a GF.
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....
I ask a girl on a date, no matter where she lives, and she sees me like I am either Charlie Sheen, Casey Anthony, Jerry Sandusky, or all three. Also not helping things is the impression that girls aren't friend-zoning me, they are putting bounties on my head. (Not trying to be funny, it's my personal convictions speaking.)
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.
Bro, if girls saw Charlie Sheen when looking at you you would not be having these difficulties!
I know several autistics/aspergers folks who have no problem finding girlfriends. Two key elements:
1. Staying in reasonable shape
2. Putting themselves out there until it sticks - being autistic means you don't have the right instincts, but it doesn't mean you can't learn.
