It seems my outlook is a common one shared by a number of others here. I'm powerfully unattractive, can't so much as start a conversation with a girl, have no social skill to speak of. I just don't feel there's any point in me trying, since it'll just be another crushing failure in the end like most other things I try. So I just sit here, resigned to the fate of dying alone like so many others.
Buddy, buddy, buddy, don't be so hard on yourself!! !
First off, relationships are a pain in the ass.
Secondly, "so much as start a conversation with a girl" Dude, all you have to do is say "Hi" to someone, and maybe ask a question about wherever you are (eg: if she's/you're in school, ask her about her last test mark, or how she's liking whatever book you're reading in English class.) Ok, I'll admit I'm no Hugh Hefner, and a lot of the time, that stuff won't work, but a lot of the time, it will
Last, but not least: "since it'll be another crushing failure" It very well could be, hell at our age, most relationships are! LOL. One day, and I hate to spit out cliches, but, here goes... , you may find a girl for you, perhaps even a fellow Aspie!
I may be able to help you with some of this stuff, if you like you can PM me, or if you just simply want to get to know me.
