I've been in some really sh***y relationships, both with aspie and NT males. The relationship I have with my current NT boyfriend though is the best in the world. He is my first full on serious relationship, as he is the one I have set up a household with and had a child with. Although he finds my aspie ways a frustration sometimes, he is the only NT who has ever tried to understand me and my aspergers. On the bad days where I wished I didn't have aspergers, he's lifted me out of my grief and told me if not for how 'interesting' I seemed to him when we first met as friends, I wouldn't be the woman he loves so much and makes his life with now. We tell eachother that we love one another everyday and both wake up and delight in seeing the big smiles my baby makes at the both of us.
To any aspie who is single and lonely, there is a person out there for everybody now matter how impossible it may seem to you. No matter how long it takes, you will find a person who will take you for who you are and love you to death for it.
That's a sweet story and sentiment, but your final paragraph isn't true. Some lonely Aspies will find someone, and some will not. False hope can twist people up pretty bad -- I speak from personal experience -- and in such cases it's better that people simply accept the reality of their situations.
