One thing i will do is explain just because I'm staring at my shoes and not speaking doesn't mean I'm uninterested and having a bad time, it just means I am nervous. It's usually been pretty well received.

This actually brings up a good point: Everyone is interested in something different. No matter who you are, there's someone looking for exactly you.
So... be yourself, and you'll end up with the perfect person for you.

I can't agree with number 1. A joke is likely the most subtle, comfortable, and best way to introduce sexual interest. Of course it has to be a funny joke that happens to deal with sex. The "can't believe he just said that" shock value type jokes should only be done with good friends.
maybe its ok if you already know the person is interested in you and has been on several dates with you or if you know them fairly well. But if you havent gotten the person to go on a date and your in the earlier stages of trying to court them. Stay away from the sexual jokes, its not appealing, it makes u seem like u just want sex. Yes it should be more subtle not so much blunt and super straight foward.

Too many rules is exactly why many men/women can't form long-lasting relationships. I'd say just be yourself and if the girl doesn't like you then tell her to get lost.
*constantly or repeatedly talk about the same topic
*act in an inappropriate manner either socially sexually or otherwise as determined by the situation
*repeatedly put yourself down or mention faults you have {I've broken this one a couple times}
{I've also broken the stalker type one and mentioned my problems too much to a man I had been interested in}
DO:
*be completely honest,it pays off and then the person you're interested in will keep it in mind and make sure to not do stuff that would make you feel uncomfortable
[quote="chiyoko"][quote="emjay89"]4a) Wait three days AFTER they give you their number before you contact them.
Exception: If they call you first :-p[/quote]
[u]DO NOT[/u] wait 3 days. This is the biggest turn off to me. It makes me think they're just playing games with me.
Call the next day. If you don't get an answer leave a message. You can call again the next day but if you don't get a return call after that don't call back.[/quote]
I concur,it might seem like they dont like you if you wait and its not a good idea at all to play games w ppl esp if you want to date them

Don't make bitter comments about how life has been so unfair to poor little you. That's an instant turn off.
Yeah I agree, I've had 3 guys do that to me so far and 2 of them were aspie. The 3rd one might've been. And yes it did turn me off. When that happens, I often end up friend-zoning them.
