My character Ludovoix is borderline Schizoid, so he has mute emotional expression, isn't bothered by people and very clearly does not desire sex in anyway.
It is hard finding lasting connections, my strategy was to give him a few qualities you don't often see in others, his explosive emotions when things burden him too much, his analytical nature and "reading" people, (looking at the character not meta-gaming), his kind of dark side, he's far from evil, but I don't see many grey characters.Â
If the conversation strikes a cord with him in some way, if it's about music, religion, the lore of the game things like that he becomes interesting, but alas it is hard, what makes it worth it though, is that the few connections you do get last a long time. The connections that extend beyond polite conversation, they make it worth while.Â
They're just my thoughts on this, some of it is my fault also being somewhat Schizoid -_-, but it's great breaking past that initial boundary, I have friends that I've had  for a good few months now because of it.

Without gripping the sword, I cannot protect you. While gripping the sword, I cannot embrace you.
