What are some good places for an aspie to find a potential girlfriend that won't seem scary and embarrasing? Just looking for a little help myself. And please don't suggest bars, i'm just not that top.

There is no specific place. You can't force finding love, you will find it by accident.

Have you tried virtual worlds, 3D avatar chat?
It's not the avenue I'd take, but just a thought.

I can tell you where you won't.
<------------------------- over there.


Anyway. In all seriousness, Get out in the world and meet new people. Try meetup.com for your area, and look for a particular interest that might have women there. I know someone else had this advice for someone else recently.

If you've been granted with the right physical attributes. That is, either being a feminine woman or a masculine man. Otherwise, I'd like to refer you to the thread about finding someone. It's less likely than you think! http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt205047.html

Non-feminine women and non-masculine men find love by accident too. What I meant is that you can't go on a dating website, or any place really, and expect to find your true love there. You can't plan for someone to fall in love with you. And speaking as a fairly feminine female, it isn't any easier for us.

The 3 girlfriends I had/have were found by accident but they were all found on forums; 2nd & current were here on WP. I posted alot & got lucky that they saw my posts & liked what they saw. I never had luck on any dating sites or offline but others might.

Join a club or a meetup group that aligns with your interests. Make new friends. Let people learn more about you. Things will go from there. Trust me.

No you won't. One of the parts has to make the first move.

Somewhere deep in the universe are like minded aspies. :)

You're both wrong actually. In my experience, the opportunity for a relationship is purely the whim of Fate. Whether or not you chose to pursue the chance, however, is up to you. I've seen people here who are either so obsessed with finding a significant other that they come on too strong and drive potentials away, or so apathetic that they pass up a relationship chance even when it's practically gift-wrapped for them.
