I need help writing to girls online without seeming too flirty or banal. I am always afraid of coming forward, as I am concerned my messages will be deemed vulgar or mundane. I need help on how to talk to them, as I don't want to be mistaken for a creeper or if my messages might seem too dry. How can I write to them, and how can I keep my ground while being able to understand what they want to see?

I'll upload any additional info if required.

I would also like to know the answer to this question because I have the same problem, please enlighten us both :)

Are you speaking of writing to girls in general or a girl you are interested in romantically?

General rules are, don't be vulgar unless she's vulgar first, and still tread cautiously. Mundane is fine but don't go on long monologues about things. Don't panic and try to negate messing up by saying something stupid. If you find yourself rambling, just stop and let it go. Don't be a "douche" by trying to act cool and macho. I doubt you will but some guys here have.

Do, however, ask her neutral questions. "What kind of movies do you like?", "Have you ever been to (whatever place)", "Did you hear about (whatever)?" Ask how she is. Inquire about things she has previously brought up that is relevant to her life. For example, if she previously told you she was going to see her grandmother, then ask how that went.

well, considering you're writing online i suggest a keyboard. But you can try and write with your mouse by drawing out what you're saying. Though it may be a bit hard to read at times.

Maybe it would help if you could show us an example of a message, then we could analyse it for you. :P The only problem might be that aspie females and normal females may judge a message differently.

In my opinion, there isn't any blanket rule because each woman is different. I made a joke with a woman last week about wanting to wear her underwear, haha. She got a great laugh out of that. But I wouldn't make that same joke with other women that I know.

Of course I've stepped over the line by being too forward at times too. Because of this, I say it's best to just be yourself as much as possible and let your style find a woman that appreciates it rather than trying to tailor your character to some nebulous template.

In that light, asking questions of women (in a sincere way because you genuinely want to know them) as Chronos suggests is good. Also writing to them as you'd write to a friend can be a good way to start in my experience, but at some point you have to attempt a bit of flirtation if you're interested in them romantically otherwise you'll be friendzoned. That is the most difficult point for we Aspies, and really I'm still sorting that out both in writing and in person to person interactions. Sometimes that point could be a year from when you first meet someone you're interested in, or it could be a week or month. Again, it depends on the individual woman you're interested in.

Be yourself for the most part, be nice, be attentive. Find out common interests and if there are any, go to town. If you guys don't have any.. then move on. Women aren't romantic prospects just because they're women.

Some women like vulgar, some women hate vulgar. Some don't care if you are mundane or banal (because if they've met no one like you--you may be interesting) and some are that way themselves.

You having an interest in women i'm assuming means you kind of already know what type of girl you go for.

There's only a couple of ways to be a "creeper" imho. A creeper is someone who emails when the relationship is ended, or calls even when the person says that they are busy. Thats it, there's no other real definition to me, if someone thinks you're one because your messages come off dry, then move on.

Sometimes people (women) open the door to vulgarity, they'll talk about roaming the house in only their underwear, or sleeping in their jammies, or cup size, or a birth mark that is somehow on a weird area.

If you guys are good friends with things in common, and you like them--capitalize on that. Cute and innocent, turns into being fresh and flirty very quickly. If they're uncomfortable and they say so then simply stop and talk about something else.

Also rule number 1, do not ever--ever put the women you talk to on a pedestal. Be nice, be fun, be attentive in listening (if they like to talk) but do not ever put them on a pedestal. I see too many guys say to women how "Oh i'm not worthy of you, you'd never go out with me" and its fine.. to doubt yourself once or twice, but do not let that become the prevailing mentallity. Girls are awesome? Yep. So are you, its just being downplayed.

The only girl you ever put on a pedestal, should be someone who loves and or cares about you.
