Well, no girlfriend yet but since I stopped obsessing over it I have spent all that energy at the gym. As a result, I lost a ton of weight (33 pounds and counting), gained muscle all over and best of all, women are flirting with me frequently AND I'm not oblivious about it. Still hopeless but not oblivious
I must look a lot younger and healthier because a few people told me they thought I was 25 and I even got carded
I haven't been carded in almost a decade and I'm over 10 years over the legal drinking age (29)! The clerk almost had his eyes pop out of his eye when he saw my ID. I'll take it as a massive compliment! I've even had young women come up to me and start a conversation and that has almost never happened before.
Bottom line: it's a weird world we live in and being excessively logical (i.e. an Aspie) makes it even harder to grasp. Some one my biggest successes in life only came because of massive failures and some of my biggest failures came from what I thought were successes.
