That is a problem, although there is a growing understanding of people on the spectrum, so you might explain to potential dates that you're awkward because you're on the spectrum.
growing understanding of people on the spectrum, so what you are saying is, are people are more aware of, or know about autism, being on the spectrum, a lot more than compared to previous years or decades? But yeah, i'm still not sure if i have the right mindset, some other mens dating coaches have said in regards to what i said, in regards to having awkward interactions with women when approaching them, that resulted in either the women thinking or perceiving the guy as weird, creepy, uncomfortable, or unsafe, accidentally violating her boundaries.
Some mens dating coaches say that its part of the learning process, part of the journey of getting better with women, having social failures or just interactions gone wrong, bad.
Comments i've heard: "you gotta break some eggs to make an omellete. im sure i creeped out tons of girls over the years".
"It's the learning process. EVERY guy goes through that. Every GIRL goes through similar things, where she reacted in some awkward way to a guy, shooed away a guy she regrets shooing away and now assumes probably hates her, etc., etc. The way you deal with it is by continuing to improve socially, so you can be SMOOTH instead of awkward. This is what everyone does, men and women alike. It is part of the GROWING UP PROCESS."
