Dude. Try just answering questions and looking in the mirror. Your best efforts so far haven't gotten you what you wanted. It can't hurt to give the simple explanation a shot. You're the one imagining some cold war. Women do pick up on this. That's - unfortunately - no trite meme.
Your explanation is neither the simplest nor the right one.
What is a fact is that most women I have met have responded negatively after my sincere and best attempts at the time to make good-faith converdation with them. Trying to play the flirting game when in actuality you don't know what the f*** you're doing seems to be an invitation for disaster (as your shaking off aspie
faux pas doesn't mean the girl will). Now learning what you're doing in social situations is always nice; then again, this is what I've been trying to do for many years with progress much slower than that of my age-peers (you know, those theory-of-mind deficits we have that make socializing for us memorizing ever more intricate rules and exceptions to simulate smooth NT-style socializing to the extent we can).
