I'm that special brand of autist who can be mistaken for charismatic and charming right up until some "taken for granted" social knowledge is required, and then I make a complete ass of myself by being either brutally honest, utterly unsympathetic, or absolutely disinterested. So people very quickly decide whether I'm the funniest prick they've ever met, the rudest asshole alive, or both and an ideal drinking buddy.

Where I'm going with all this: how do I soft next this chick without making shit awkward? My current plan is to text her as little as plausible and just avoid meeting her until she loses interest or gets the message because it's the easiest thing to do, but it feels like the pussy thing to do.

My first impulse was to meet up with her for coffee, humor her without making it obvious, and then give her some kind of "it was nice to meet you and you're interesting and shit, but no thanks" line, but I was quickly told that it would be cold-blooded as fuck to do that, and not to.

So what would /adv/ recommend?
