'When it comes to dating, I’m not looking for a physically romantic relationship in any way.' 🏳️🌈 PrideMonth LGBTQIA
Dating is a difficult area of life for many people, regardless of their sexuality or identity. However, dating while asexual creates an entirely different set of challenges that can sometimes make it feel almost impossible. I’m not saying there aren’t any asexual couples out there, but in my experience, it’s incredibly difficult to find someone who understands what asexuality is and what an ideal ace relationship looks like.
I think’s the most difficult part of dating while asexual. I want to be viewed as a “normal, desirable” person, but I feel this need to be upfront about my ace identity before initiating anything.Unfortunately, nine out of 10 times, this doesn’t go over well. Usually, after I disclose my asexuality, whatever I have going with a potential partner fizzles out.
However, a few weeks in, I had the sense that she thought I would eventually “change my mind” about the physical stuff. When we had conversations about what we wanted out of the relationship, her desires started to lean more sexual and romantic in nature, whereas mine remained unchanged. I knew deep down that this would happen from the beginning, but I had tried to pretend that it wouldn’t just so I could experience a “normal” relationship, even if it lasted just a short time.
