It's just my opinion, but I don't think you really want a woman just impressed by your job - you want her to be into you for you. I also think there is someone for everyone - aspie or not. I am considered different and while it is at times a burden (I know how hard it can be) it is also a gift and try to remember you are uniquely you. I really think you meet someone when you're not even expecting to. Hang in there and do things that make you feel good about yourself. Volunteer for something you believe in. Someone else on here had the suggestion of finding a support group - I think that's a great idea.

I have a friend who I think might be on the spectrum, and she is very hard to communicate with, she doesn't understand or pick up on social cues. I would find that very frustrating in a relationship. I would't pay anyone else to date you, and if you want to online date, try Match.com. I personally had no luck with online dating and found that it wasn't for me. Try going to coffee shops on the weekends and bookstores, things like that. Good luck.

We are all unique and God didn't make any perfect person! We all have something only we can contribute - sometimes I think it takes alot of hard work to figure out what it is.

Hang in there and be positive

Well there's your issue, nobody is going to want to date someone who doesn't speak in front of them.

I'm very shy, too. Give yourself a chance and take it gradually. You can definitely learn how to be a better conversationalist.

it's not impossible for you to find love, but you are ice skating uphill,
aspergers is a blessing and a curse. it makes you brilliant hyper focused at what ever you have an interest in and what ever you set your mind to you will do very well in. but the downside is you most likely have little to no social skills, and have a hard time reading the social cues of others, plus you are male seeking women, and women in general are more social creatures than men anyway. were men judge women 80% by how a woman treats him, women judge men 80% on how he interacts with the world around him, its messed up but thats the pickle you are in.

A few months ago I broke up with my girlfriend. When I moved to Seattle alone in July 2015 it made it hard to have a long distance relationship.

Here in Seattle I'm struggling to find a woman who will even go on one date with me.

Have you spent any time at the market downtown? I have a high school buddy who lives in Seattle and he took me there when I visited. We went to a restaurant called Matt's in the Market. There were a lot of interesting and attractive looking people about your age there.

Maybe if you become a regular someplace you'll meet some locals and start making friends.
