eg, I've had many casual conversations with nice females at the gym who I'm pretty sure may have had interest in me. However my AS skills or lack of them and inability to carry the casual pleasantries further have basically turned them off and made for awkwardness afterwards due to my poor opposite sex capabilities.
Now I even pass some of them like a full bus and they do likewise as I refuse to let it bother me anymore.
End result is they probably think I am a snob/a**hole/creep
Such is life as an aspie
Yeah I've pretty much reached the point where I couldn't care anymore about being viewed as someone who is to be avoided.
Women who go to the gym and try to start up conversations with guys reveals the double standard of when a guy goes to the gym and tries to hit on a woman. It's okay in the former but gets you reported to management in the latter "We are there to work out, not to get hit on by guys"
