I have limited knowledge on this field but I think that finding an active group of singles is probably more helpful than hiring someone to do the work for you.
You both know why you are there and you dont have to be too forward/can just try to hint things.

Any active group with people of around your age would probably work(TheFaceOfBoo had some luck at activities organized by his local gym, Ive found that all my conversational clubs are known for dancing until 3 AM(the group ends at 12PM and has nothing to do with dancing)/going for a beer at 1am when most people leave...).

You are likelier to find someone in a similar situation or who would at least be more understanding and not be condescending when saying not interested.

This fail will happen after you are on your own because then the Asperger version of you will have to think on your feet in conversation, body language etc. You could maybe hide it for a few weeks. Worth a try? :)

I don't see why people can't post on here to ask for advice when they are replying to people online. They don't have to use other peoples' words, just learn the general gist of what responses work best.

Generally though if something's too much like hard work it wasn't meant to be. If you click with someone it's a lot easier.

It takes practice though.

I only come across people who are on my wavelength once in a blue moon so I'd say that rather than you not knowing how to talk to these women it's just that you don't have much in common with them hence they aren't interested in continuing the interaction

Can't you tell whether you are on the same wavelength as someone? When you are it all becomes a lot easier.

This kind of thing builds momentum. Success breeds confidence. Confidence breeds success.
