My boyfriend is on the Autism spectrum (Aspergers I'm sure if he had a diagnosis). While I wouldn't consider him socially awkward (he has developed a lot of good social skills), I would consider him awkward in general. And oh my gosh is he a nerd and a dork. But I love him and want to marry him someday. There, I've just proved that people with Aspergers can find love.
You might just be looking in the wrong place. I'm socially awkward myself (worse than him even) and am not the sort of girl that gets the attention for a lot of guys. Basically, all he had to do was treat me like I was important and treat me with respect. I never really got that from a man before. Basically, look for people like yourself. Then you can understand each other.
