I lived 33 years with my H who I'm sure is on the autistic spectrum (the only thing that explaines 100% the problems that existed in the marriage) & he was forever making up excuses for his inability to do things. Excuses that in REAL life didn't exist.
I seriously think that you need to get into therapy & get help with what you think is being somewhere on the Autistic spectrum & with your social awkwardness & your whole life will change & doors will open that you are not capable of opening at this point in your life because you haven't had the professional support to learn how to open them.

Excellent post.
I teach special Ed at a high school and do have students with ASD and yes they go have difficulty with making friends and dating and they often Blame others or assume things about others etc but there are resources available to learn some strategies. I am so apprehensive about self-diagnosing though. Just because one is awkward it doesn't mean he is on the spectrum.
Have you talked to your doctor? Were you diagnosed? If not then go to your doctor and therapist and tell them about your awkwardness.
I also have to add that being obsessed with particular attributes (like age in your case) prevents you from actually getting on with your life. Get professional help and go on a date with a woman
