Hi j5689
I have just spent a couple of hours reading some of your previous posts on this website and now understand that your concerns are deeper and go back further than I first realised. I now realise that the advice I gave in my previous replies won't be helpful to you, and I apologise.
If I had the opportunity again, I know that before posting advice in this thread, I would have taken the time to read some of your previous posts and the replies you received, and thought more carefully about whether I had anything original or helpful to offer.
I'm not exactly sure how my previous posts would render your advice unhelpful. As it is, it still is pretty helpful. Just not completely to me.
And I don't expect anyone to read/remember any prior posts I've made. From what I've seen it doesn't usually work that way on forums but I guess we're all a special bunch, now aren't we?

I'll take a shot at getting advice.
j5689, there is nothing wrong with you sounding like a college professor. Ignore AceOfSpades. Since you have AS, it's just who you are, not a show that you are trying to put on. AceOfSpades is also exagerating on the professor talk. The semi-articulate pigs talk the way they do to get a girl. I still get nervous around girls, but I've built up courage. Join clubs of common interests. You will find people to whom you can talk about your interests. Join in group discussions that have a girl in it. Also find one or two NT's to whom you can talk about this kind of stuff. I talk to my best friend and my mom. They help me a lot and understand AS. My best friend puts stuff in a way that any Aspie can understand.
Unfortunately my NT friends are in the same situation. They don't get any girls themselves but they still talk about it like they're successful with their prospects(girls that might be interested in them). As such, they don't have much useful advice except to get drunk because everyone says it makes girls easier to get girls that way. And yet it still doesn't work for them.
The friends that I have that are successful can't really help me. It's just something that they take for granted. And they don't wanna hear about my problems with that. Some of them even ridicule me for not knowing that much about girls.
