Girls agree to go out then change their mind.

Why the bloody everyone postponing, cancelling, turning me down and everything on me every single time making a meet up or hang out! I am looking forward to it because I need social life, need social skills and need skills before I kill myself.

Bloody fecking stupid life I have

This probably won't mean much coming from a randomer on an internet forum, but based on some of your other posts on other threads, you seem really lovely!

It means more than you think. Thank you.

Meet-up groups, Skype groups, and autism groups. No regrets--those are the routes I took.

Don't try to hard, even though its important to you, keep it casual, don't appear too interested. Still be nice and friendly and silly, but be light. Mating rituals are kinda lame.

The first (and last) girl who flaked on me (for 4th time in row) - begged me for another chance but I rejected her offer for good.

How? My reaction when she told me about the cancellation was like "what a relief! thanks goodness it came from you, I wanted to cancel it too and I was feeling so embarrassed all day to tell you."
That made her burn

Possibly also whilst trying to 'drop hints'. Something which NTs are more likely to pick up on.

lol, I bet she was thinking something like "WTF? I'm the only one here that's allowed to play mind-games!! !"

Please please please seek help if you're thinking of hurting yourself. PLEASE.

If you're getting turned down, postponed, cancelled on for everything by everyone (guys and girls, friends and dates) in all spheres of your life (meetup groups, uni clubs, dates via internet and in person, not simply 4 consecutive girls) well, then, um, the issue probably is you. Because you're the common denominator in this endless stream of rejections.

Is it possible that you think your social skills are fine but are not actually fine? what do your parents think of your social skills? What does an older tell is or trusted family friend think of your social skills? Have you considered consulting the campus counseling clinic, as it's likely to have social skills classes or a staffer who can direct you to appropriate resources? You sound like a smart guy and the social skills that come naturally to many NTs can absolutely be taught?

It's part of the "Female Privilege", and the ones who deny it most strongly seem to also be the ones who play it most often.

Nobody can treat you badly without your consent. Forgiving some girl who flaked 3-4x is ENCOURAGING the girl to treat you terribly.

Say goodbye after the first or, at most, second flakeing!!

I think you're doing a lot of things right. A word of warning though. You're going to get frustrated. Don't expect universal compassion from those you complain to, especially NT's and ESPECIALLY NT women. You're probably going to run into some overanalysis of "what you did wrong," and attempts to hold you responsible for THEIR inconsiderate actions. There will always be room for improvement in how you approach things, but that doesn't excuse bad behavior on their part.

I also found that a lot of women didn't really see anything wrong they're actions. In other words if 85% are flaky, don't expect one of the 85% percent to be sympathetic about the actions of fellow 85 percenters.

Dating is hard and stressful for men (and doubly so for aspie men) in a way that a lot of women have no experience with. There's a strong negative correlation to how many years a guy is on the dating scene and how long he lives. It's that stressful. That correlation doesn't hold for women. The only women I've really been able to have a meaningful conversation with are those who discovered they were lesbian or bi relatively late in life. To a woman, they suddenly starting saying things like "I had no idea dating women was so hard" or "Why do I have to do all the hard work?"

All I can say is hang in there. By all means get coaching, but take what she says with a grain of salt. Everyone (men and women) say they want one thing, but actually respond to another. I found in my attempts to get coaching from hetero women that what they told me was often worse then useless. It often sunk my chances.

But mocking her after 3-4 is WAY more funny than only after 1-2.

Well, I did like her that much to tolerate it 3 times.

It would be called a mind game if I accepted her last invitation, which I didn't - my reaction there was just mocking, nothing more.

Oh btw, Katy, I have some few nicknames to suggest for your next incarnations:

- TheMistandristVampiress
- The_Matriarch
- V-dentata

The same thing happens to me quite a lot, I'm afraid I've never really figured out why. I'm currently out of the army and in university and trying to work out a solution. Very demoralizing so far, but my current feeling is that there is something I am missing fundamental to the process that is so antithetical to my thoughts that I can't see it.

your uni likely has a counseling office that can evaluate and treat or evaluate and refer you to help. You can't figure it out, so maybe a professional can. Colleges usually provide services for free (well, both mine did - mostly grad students supervised by psychiatrists/psychologists)
