Can i find a girlfriend if i can’t flirt/banter?

I have a concrete mind due to Asperger’s and take everything at face-value. Meaning, I don’t know when to be funny or serious. I can’t tell if the teasing is seen as playful or hostile.

I’m planning a 4 month workout regimen to lose weight and build an attractive, slender body so I’ll stand out and girls will notice me more. That makes it easier to talk to them. But is flirting and teasing really everything in dating? What about looks, kindness, honesty and respect?

    Flirting and banter is definitely important when dating. Looks help also.

    Kindness, honesty and respect are more important in the relationship side of things rather than dating. So after a successful date, then go with the kindness, honesty and respect.

    Find an autistic girl. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but the thing's you've listed as good qualities, and they are good qualities, tend to come second to some other qualities when finding a woman. Most girls don't really know what they want from the sense of they'll list the qualities you've given, and I think it's likely you have them, but as you can see, it's not really helping you because they aren't the primary qualities they actually look for.

    You can still find a girl, you're just going to have to look for a girl who doesn't get a lot of male attention. I know this isn't exactly nice to hear, but the world's not a place where you get the 10/10 hottie who would be willing do everything for you whilst you're a 10/10 prince who will sweep her off her feet and protect her from the world. You have to settle in the world depending on the hand you have; I'd recommend trying to look for females who get little male attention and who have some not so desirable qualities.

      Wow, that is really some honest advice right there. I just wanted to say that I can attest to this. In my opinion, it's better to settle than to have unrealistic expectations and be alone as a result...

    Girls don’t care about kindness or honesty. Most just want a fit guy who will make us laugh.

      I just want a fit girl. Or at least a female that weighs less than me. It's not a high standard but for some reason it is hard finding people that fits it.

    Just because many aspies are terrible at lying doesn’t make them honest, and just because they’re too much of a wimp to be mean doesn’t make them kind.

    But yeah learn to flirt or something

    • Also Aspies are both honest and kind because we don’t believe in taking advantage of others. Most people on the spectrum are down to earth is you give them a chance.

    • I tried learning flirting. The best I can do is corny pick up lines. So that’s why I prefer straightforward honesty and cutting to the chase with girls instead of flirting.

        The best pick up lines are the ones which don't sound like a pick up line.

        Something like "Hi, I'm (place your name here), how are you? Fancy a drink?"

    Totally depends on the girl. A lot of this is about connection and chemistry, which is hard to predict. It either happens or it doesn't. Sadly this means quite a lot of trial and error when it comes to chatting up girls and dating, which can be tough on the hearts of sensitive folk like yourself.
