How do I get over hoverhand syndrome? I get a lot of attention from women when I go out (smiles, stares, aggressively grabbing my arms) but I always freeze up and worry about being seen as creepy or a pervert by being touchy with girls I'm attracted to. It's very deeply ingrained and alcohol doesn't help. I'm not a virgin but I've been out of the game for a while and really only seem to have success when I don't care or try.

pretty much this. if you don't feel like touching, don't do it. don't worry too much either. have a good conversation, share some food, do things together ... just the usual stuff.
start beeing touchy, when you feel like it.

You probably just haven't tried enough alcohol.

"creep" here.
I don't actively try to be creepy, I just give off a vibe. Believe me, I've tried everything. I can't avoid it.
I found the the easiest way to prevent hoverhand is to just not even try making physical contact. Your hands don't hover at your sides or in your pockets.
Now you might think "Well, if she's touching me, she must be okay with physical contact with me". Nope, apparently it does not work both ways. Women think they can touch a man whenever and wherever they want (even if the man has autism and has made it fucking clear he does not like physical contact) but if he touches back he very well might hear "ewww don't touch me" even from someone who's supposed to be his friend.
Make a girl work for it. If you don't feel comfortable with that shit, it's her problem, not yours. If a girl actually does want to be touched in any way, it's on her to find a way to make herself some more approachable and comforting to you. To let you know that shit's alright.
Otherwise she can jog the fuck on and end up with Chad. I don't give a fuck.
