Very true. Your chances for meeting women will never be better than they are right now.

If you eventually get a job in an office, then it is best to consider the women in the office (with whom you will be interacting for a ridiculously large portion of your life) as completely off limits.

This is a good advice, but easier said than done.

What you should realize that some aspies have zero social life, zero friends, going out and doing something outside like clubbing,partying,drinking or any kind of activities isn't easy when you no friends. In addition, people who club alone are automatically perceived as unusual and avoided.

You don't need to have friends to go out and have fun. When I needed time to reflect on my own, I stopped posting on here for several months, and went and learned how to snowboard on my own. Didn't go with anybody else. Simply went out and did what piqued my curiosity.

You just need to have the determination to do it. Don't think too much about it, except "I have one life, and I can do what I want with it. Enough excuses, just do it." Stop thinking about what you can't do. Start thinking about what you can.


I have done that before.

The nearest city is Austin, about 30 miles away. The downside to that is that traffic is rather nasty, especially close to downtown and UT. And 6th Street (the hip, trendy neighborhood in Austin) has had a rash of drive-by punchings--rather weird.

But I did find a indie theater. I am also going to look at San Antonio, and see what they have.

And besides, they often violate company policies.

The women? Yes. [edited for content by sinsboldly] co-workers can seldom be trusted.
