It is good to concentrate of the things that are easy to chance, with a bit of discipline.

* Do you dress the best way you can?
* Do you wear perfumes every time you go out?
* Do you have any bad habits that you can get rid of easily.
* Do you have a car
* Do you still live with your mother? Is it possible for you to move out?
* Do you have hobbies that consume too much time, maybe it is time to cut back on this?
* Money is a useful resource, so spend it wisely. Spend a quarter on candy, and that candy will take you a tiny bit in the direction you don’t want to go.
* Are you at your ideal weight, do you look better being fatter or skinner etc

All of these improve your situation before even having to jump into highly tactical social situations where you will get a case of information overload. But jumping into social situation is what you will have to do, like it or not.

I feel that my biggest obstacle in meeting somebody is the fact that I am a full-time college student who will be a few years older than the traditional college student (I am 26, will be 27 in a couple of months). My fear is that the 18-22 year olds will think I am too old to date them, and the women closer to my age expect me to already have my college degree and be gainfully employed.

This is not an obstacle at all Tim.
When i was at university the mature students seemed to have no problems in getting dates with younger women.
It annoyed me that i never had any luck, while these old **** were going with girls 10 years younger than themselves.
The fact that you are slightly older must be used to your advantage. It makes you stand out from the crowd. To the younger students you are potentially more interesting than most of the men they have previously known. Peers their own age will either have to 'be' more interesting or 'work at it.' You achieve this status merely by being older.
The women closer to your age may be curious as to your situation, this is also grounds for attraction.

If you're an aspie male then the chances are you dress TERRIBLY!! ! As a meterosexual with very close female friends, who I talk to about this stuff, I can tell you that how you dress makes a huge difference to your sexual attractiveness to females. I can't stress this enough. If you dress horribly, most girls will glance at you and think "no way".

I suggest you get a dressy friend to help you out on this one. You cannot simply go to a store on your own and buy whatever you think looks good. That can go horribly wrong.

So here are two things that are gauranteed to improve your odds:
- learn to dress (assuming you have a dressy friend, and the money for some better clothes)
- build some muscle (assuming you have the time, diet and motivation to)

When you say you want a "hot" woman, you have to consider hot women want hot men. Like it or not, women almost unanimously care about clothes and muscle.

I care more about Buses.

All I can suggest is be calm, cool and casual as well as present yourself as much like your real self as possible. The things below are optional and up to you whenever or not you consider trying them.

* Think to yourself that you're very important and present a level of self-confidence and ego when you approach or talk but don't overdo it.
* Show a level of considerable respect to who you talk with and listen to what they have to say.
* Don't have a care in the world about how you'll be judged negatively (if they do reject or dismiss you).
* Practice speaking as clearly as possible alone at a mirror, as a fluent voice is very helpful.
* Try to dress accordingly and look clean and brush your hair, get/keep your teeth as white as possible and try to look naturally relaxed.

I know there's a chance you've tried these, but I hope any of this is of some help, and good luck

I should note that the idea of this is to give some mental strategies to being a bit more open in your search and helps dissolve any concerns you may have.
