Autism and dating

Just a quick tip, doing something like saying "give me one good reason why you won't date me," calling repeatedly to ask why, or trying to come up with counters for their reason can seem aggressive, demanding, or stalkery. Many girls are wary because they've had bad experiences with guys who react badly to being bluntly turned down and ask for a concise reason as an attempt at badgering them into going on another date.

To avoid this, be very clear yet polite. Say something like "If you don't mind, I could use a little feedback because I'm still figuring out the whole dating thing. Could you tell me why you aren't interested anymore?" And if she doesn't want to tell you, say something like "I understand if that's too awkward for you" and quit asking.
