Just go up to girls and start talking with them, any opportunity for interaction is a way to practice.
Go to a restaurant, use it as an opportunity to experiment with how you interact with the waitress.
I'm not too concerned with specifically going for an Aspie girl. Finding the girl you think is perfect for you, is no guarantee that she'll want to be with you. And if she does come around, just because she's great does not mean that you can't mess everything up by how you act... even with Aspie girls.
So practice so that you can talk with and have girls be interested with you will be of great benefit. So when a great opportunity arises, you won't be left with nothing to say.
It's called social skills, and I don't think the skill part is meaningless. It's something that can be improved... and learned and honed.
I'm having the same problems as Psychedelic.I'm 34 & want to start dating but my social skills aren't that great,especially the whole eye contact thing.It has gotten me depressed lately & since late july I've been in treatment with therapy & medication for it.
I have been making some progress lately though by going down to my local Starbucks(I've developed quite a passion for their mocha frapps) & talking with some of the ladies who work there,unfortunately they all have BF's already but it's definitely a start....I've already given two of the girls my phone # but so far they havn't called me but still that was another huge step that I acomplished nonetheless.
