My name is Brian and I am thirty. I live in Clearwater, Florida. I am hoping to meet women my around my age to develope friendships with and to possibly date in the future. I don't have an easy time meeting anyone since I work alot and have Asperger's Syndrome and don't troll the bars. Any interesting women out there in the Tampa Bay area or Pinellas County?

I know nothing about this but you might try the (apparently) endorsed dating site http://www.somebodyforyou.com/

This link came from the relationships and communication section of PC.

Brian, I'd figure out when you would have time for a woman and where you'd want to go/what you'd want to do and then look for a woman in a situation like those.

I'd look at a church group, take a cooking class or some other where there would be mostly women but where a guy wouldn't look out of place, etc.

My father-in-law lived in Dunedin; I'll try to think of other, local ideas for you.

BP!!! I have to agree with Perna on this matter.
I'm age 57, and since my divorce 11 years ago, most of the men I have met have been thru online dating sites, and OH, MY, how I regret the waste of time! It is truly like throwing a hook into the vast ocean and pulling out who knows what kind of monster....and I do mean monster!
Try being in social situations if possible. I know if you have Asbergers, then this may be a problem for you, but I can't endorse meeting the opposite sex online. It has been a nightmare for me.
I have to admit, lookng back now on all of it, that I was TOO accommodating, too desperate to be accepted, and I truly regret the time I wasted.
