NT's have these same fears and anxieties. This is not easy stuff to navigate. I will say - - one thing I've learned here on WP is that for AS folks, the stakes feel higher and that seems to make the process much more difficult and painful.
I think trying to be easy and gentle with the process it is step 1 (I know, easier said).
I don't like the bad-boy advice myself, personally. I submit it's likely to land you the wrong person and most likely will be awkward and off-putting. I think acting with integrity as yourself is the best bet for finding someone you can have a real chemistry with.
Be funny. Joking with her is a good idea - humor makes the top of every list on what attracts females. I agree with the advice about written communication at first as much as possible. My husband was funny and clever in email and I loved that.
Continue to focus on your own interests and have patience in pursuing a female. It kept me strongly interested in HIM that he was interested in something ELSE.
And just don't be afraid to take a chance - we're all in the same boat in that regard, lots of rejection and then a connection at some point.

This is good advice. Yup, i'd say that stakes do feel higher and that holds me back.

You might be surprised what you project by your body language and actions even if you're not aware of it. I've been told that when I'm into a girl it is brutally obvious in the way I treat them, even if I don't outwardly suggest anything of the sort.
True. The trick is to learn to adjust your own body language up to the point you express the right message. Try to find some neurotypical friends to help you recognise and apply body language (especially females are useful in this area). You have no idea how much of a difference body language makes in that area.

Thank you for the input. If I send a girl a message, I do read their profile. I talk a bit about their profile to prove I read it, and to also relate to them. I would throw in a compliment, etc. I am not afraid to say anything in real life. If I can type it, I can say it.
The good thing about online conversation is that it's easy to get very personal without feeling too intrusive and you can ignore body language entirely. For me, that makes a huge difference in my ability to appeal to a woman emotionally and sexually.
