Well looking back I probably did a lot of the common stuff but I'm not someone anyone can understand from one conversation in a café. I'm also pretty much completely discouraged. I'm not sure anything I did in the past 6 years counted as romantic.
I'm a programmer, hacker & a mountain hippie. I don't often meet anyone because I'm quite attached to the people in my life already. I'm trying to be more agreeable towards the few women who know me at all because I see few if any other ways to do that at all.

What does this mean? I'm sorry, I don't understand."I'm not sure anything I did in the past 6 years counted as romantic." <<
Does this mean that in the last six years you haven't "put yourself out there" ? Meaning, does this mean that you haven't attempted to meet women face to face toward any romantic ends?"I'm a programmer, hacker & a mountain hippie. "
There are many women who enjoy programming and many women, especially in Colorado who enjoy the "mountain hippie" lifestyle. I lived in Manitou Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak for about 6-9 months when I was younger. Ideologically, you're also "liberal", wouldn't you agree? There are many women your age in Colorado that share your ideology. That's a good thing. You've posted your picture on WP, and even though I'm a hetero male, I can objectively say that I would assume there women your age that would find you attractive."I don't often meet anyone because I'm quite attached to the people in my life already." <<
Can you elaborate?
What do you mean by this? Or, how does this impede your ability to try to meet women, exactly?"I'm trying to be more agreeable towards the few women who know me at all because I see few if any other ways to do that at all." <<
I'm sorry I don't understand what this means.I mostly meant I'm very reserved. I would have to find a lot of common ground before making any further plans with anyone I just met.
I would rather meet women through women than at random. I'm not very trusting but I'm moreso towards women, particularly those who managed to befriend me.
I'm at work for now so I'll have to get back to you in greater detail - I'm definitely not really 'on the market' since that's your main question.
I'm also wrestling with a number of medical issues that likely relate to my ASD & I have no clue how to talk about that in person, much less in this context.
