Possibly, when you say clueless what exactly do you mean? Can't get a date, don't know if someone likes you or what?

Being that I have been in 2 relationships,

learn to lie.... also creative story telling... they go hand in hand..........

Humor is very important......but its also kind of tricky...you have to understand the person your trying to humor I THINK

I don't know that this is a particularly good suggestion if you want someone to like you for being genuinely you.

Depends on what your exact problem is. Is it trying to attract them, to maintain a relationship, how to weed out the jerks, get rid of the jerks, etc?

"Lie" is a poor choice of term. "Selective honesty" is better. Essentially, be tactful. Aspies tend to have a problem with being brutally honest, and no significant other is going to want to hear every detail just because it's true.
