I don't have a problem going up to talk to a girl that I'm attractive to, being myself around them, asking girls out, etc... This has never been a problem with me but that doesn't mean I have a single shred of success with girls. I have autism and for the last 7 years of my life I've trying to understand people and socializing which I have greatly understand better but even after knowing so much I don't feel like I've made a step further in anything. I'm not an ugly guy, I can tell that woman are attracted or at least interested in me initially. Just today I was at a social event and I was talking to this girl that decided to sit next to me, she was very receptive, showed a lot of positive facial expression/ body language but it was after I started talking a bit more that I noticed that she was becoming less interested. This seems to be the theme with anyone not just in dating. When people first meet me they think I'm the coolest guy ever and once I start opening my mouth more everything just go down.

I don't know what else to do. I'm not one to give up but it feels like I'm trying to push a wall. I've put so much effort into trying to understand all this and myself but it feels futile because no ounce of progress is being shown.
