I'm totally demi. I only feel attraction if I already have some kind of connection with the person - which can be a woman, man, non-binary etc.

Me! Only just accepted it though...kind of knew something was 'off' since I was quite a lot younger, though :)

Hello, hello, hello! I identify as an asexual, have for a few years. I'm not entirely sure about my romantic attraction at the moment. Feelings are confusing, you know?

I identify as demi (though I could be grey-a). I've basically only had one attraction so far, but it didn't happen until I had become close to the person. Cool to see some others here on the ace spectrum, nice to meet you. :)

Hey fellow ace spectrum people :finger guns: I'm kinda late to this thread, but uh oh well. That's what I get for not being a regular forum goer. Apparently we have a forum group! #/asexy (minus the /, don't wanna accidentally ping y'all) Hurray! Also, feel free to friend me :finger guns again:

I discovered the term asexual during high school and started iding as such my junior year so like when I was 16? I'm 21 now. Oh shit that'll be five years in the spring! I think I only know one ace irl? And we're not that close, so yeah. Most/all the ace spectrum people I know I've met online. Most of my close friends irl know that I'm ace, but unfortunately a few of them found in less than ideal circumstances/shouldn't have found out in the first place :/ I'm not out to my family and it's honestly fine? Like, my family's never been the type to hound the kids about if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend/etc yet, so there's never really been a need to tell them. I do want to tell my older sister though. I've actually been wanting to for like, the entirety of college but just haven't gotten the chance bc I don't want to do it over text but I rarely ever get to spend time just with her, it's usually during family shit when other people are around.

But uh yeah. It's nice to see other ace spectrum folk here! :final finger guns:

edit: ALSO, you can hmu if you need help like, sticking stickers or with event achievements, dancing/flowers/etc

I'm not Asexual, though my mindset is a lot like one but I'm married. Growing up I really didn't care about having a boyfriend or girlfriend or any type of lover. I kinda decided to take a chance and try dating and it ended horribly. After many horrible boyfriends I met my husband. I'm quite happy actually. ^_^

[font=courier]i identify as panromantic and somewhere along the a/gray/demi path.
i'd just say ace w a libido but ever so rarely i do actually think someone is 'sexy'.
it usually comes with there already being some other sort of connection on an emotional level though, and even then it wouldnt be what i'd consider 'normal' sexual attraction, if that makes sense.

I only just realized a couple of months ago that I'm on the ace spectrum (It was actually the same time some NPCs came out as ace. It's like Subeta staff knew. ;) ) and I'm still wrapping my head around it. A lot of aces say they always knew something was off about them, but I'm the opposite. I always thought most people were like me. But apparently having sexual feelings toward a person you just met is the "norm," and aesthetic attraction =/= sexual attraction- who knew! xD I'm still not sure where on the spectrum I fall. I don't interact with people much, and I've never been on a date, let alone in a relationship. There are very few people outside of immediate family I've ever felt close with. It's possible I'm demi, and I just haven't had the right connection yet, but for now I just call myself ace.

I'm still technically in the closet, and I don't really see myself coming out to anyone I'm not in a romantic relationship with. I am romantic (possibly demi, I've only ever had romantic feelings toward one person after I got to know him. There have been a few other "crushes," but I was pretty content not being in a relationship with them. I'm not even sure if they were really crushes.), and I would like to be in a relationship one day.

The boyfriend question always pops up at family gatherings, but I never felt a need to go into detail on exactly why I'm still single. (Not to mention most of my family is pretty closed-minded about this stuff and would probably fit into the group of people who think asexuality doesn't exist.) Plus I feel certain I'm hetero-romantic only, and that's something most people still assume about others. As for my asexuality, I don't think my sex life (or lack of) is really anyone's business. =P If someone asked me specifically about my sexual orientation, I'd probably tell them, but so far no one has. All anyone really needs to know is that if I ever ended up in a relationship, it would be with a dude.

This is all still really new to me and I'm still figuring it all out, haha. I just found out what a squish is and that I've had one- a big one. (Man, that really cleared some things up for me, lol.)
