Can't people just say "I'm not interested in being friends"?
here's my story:
>see this girl at the train ride home from work every day
>think she's pretty cute, but I'm too autistic to initiate
>finally get the courage to approach and talk to her
>ask her questions about her life...work, family, life etc...
>smiles and laughs
>this happens on-off for about a week, whenever I see her
>stop seeing her for a while
>finally run into her again
>she walks all the way to the far end of the train terminal
I'm not even sure what to make of this, but
I sure as hell feel like a creep right now...why is it so hard to make friends after college. Should I just change my commute schedule?

nah don't change your schedule.
It's hard to say "I don't want to be your friend" because it's very confrontational. Girls would much prefer the conversation to fizzle out and to never be talked to again (what happened to you).
Don't worry about it man. You took a great first step by initiating conversation. Keep at it and eventually you will find someone happy to reciprocate.

Sounds like you havin problems with socializin but this can be easily fixed u just gotta know how to talk good and get who u are and u gotta get who other people's is too
Talk to her at a point where your the one talking but she's able to actually respond don't just think about you talking think about the both of you talking so you can start a good conversation and get to know eachother

Fuck that, leav'r alone.
She's made her position clear.
You don't keep bothering people if they want you to leave them alone.
well you made her acquaintance, so just wait for her to approach you now. she will approach if shes interested.

this gives me hope....my god does it hurt more to hope... It's like I'm setting myself up to fail again.

it's not a good idea to get your hopes up about a "maybe," that's setting yourself up for essentially a second emotional rejection
as >>17638438 said, just wait, but don't make it a priority in your mind
