/u/alllbymyshelf on Need some advice for writing an aro/ace character in my story

A lot of those questions depend on the person, so maybe see what fits with the general personality of your character? I'm fine with platonic affection most of the time and have fully accepted that I'm gonna live my life on my own and do whatever I want. However I know of aroace people who would like a life partner (or queerplatonic partner), a group of close friends, or something else. It varies so widely that I think as long as you treat it respectfully whatever you choose of these things would be fully realistic and not fall into any super harmful stereotypes.

/u/wunderbean on Just found out...

It makes sense now, I feel I am more of a snake ace than a dragon ace July 25, 2020 at 11:56PM

/u/Ace_justvibin on I felt really good today. I’m not out to most people yet so I bought this shirt to show off some subtle pride after being invalidated by my sister. Am I “too young” to have a good fashion sense, sis?

Call her out for stealing your sexual attraction to people lmao July 25, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/KingdomCrown on I’ll honestly take whatever rep we can get at this point (senku is pretty great tho ngl)

We’re the weird ones I think. It seems logical that they would be considered two different things instead of grouped together. Something that could be considered a downside though is that the two are more separate from each other. In fact a common mantra from nonsexuals is ”we are not asexuals!” it's essentially the equivalent of ”we are not aromantics” push in the English speaking community (but without the problem that a lot of asexuals really are aromantics.)

/u/Coffeechipmunk on I know most responses are jokes but it still annoys me how few people know what asexuality means.

She’s not a bad person, she just doesn’t understand the concept of asexuality. It’s kind of ironic because she’s bisexual. July 25, 2020 at 11:28PM

/u/TheDykeofAgragoth on I didn't realize so many people were against the split attraction model especially amongst the LGBT community.

I'm(35m) and I'm overweight. I use to be heavy into power lifting, so my frame is muscular and fat. I put pictures of myself on my OLD profile which shows my size, but it still seems to be the deal breaker when I meet women in person.

I will emphasize that I'm a larger man with my matches somewhere in our conversation since I've had women tell me my size was the deal breaker. So to make sure the women know for sure before I take them out, I tell about my weight beforehand. Is this not a good idea? I'm not really here for people to tell me to lose weight and it won't be an issue because I already have my workout routine and am continually trying to lose weight. Any advice that would help get this key trait about me across with someone before I end up with a big bill at the end of the night and a response that my weight was the deal breaker?

Processing a recent dating experience

After a while of not even putting myself out there for dating I ventured back to the dating apps. I matched with a guy, we messaged, then video chatted, and had a really great first in-person date. Prior to this experience the dates usually ended up with people talking at me, or they were just putting the time to get some action. Usually I left feeling very deflated, exhausted, and ultimately annoyed. These experiences were so pervasive that I started believing that I was incapable of being in love again or even be interested in the idea of loving someone. It had also been a VERY long time that I had the physical feeling of attraction to someone. This experience was so different. Talking to him was exciting and I would be happy to get a message from him. When we were talking and later kissing (COVID be damned I guess?) my body was responding in a way that I hadn't felt since my 20's (I'm in my late 30's). The second date came and needed to be rescheduled so he could ...

How to feel secure in a relationship?

I (32F) haven't got much experiences in terms of relationship. Got out of a 9 years LTR (married 2 years, then divorced, no kids, he was my first and vice versa), I left because I was feeling so unmotivated and frankly speaking I felt like I hadn't truly experienced life. I also fell for someone else while being married (didn't cheat - at least not sexually) - and so I took my stuff and moved out, didn't take anything financially. Then I started seeing this guy I fell for for 4 months, one month in and I said the L word to which he said I love you too (out of courtesy, as I found out much later) but never mentioned it again until he broke up with me because he couldn't commit. For 6 months after I tried really hard to get over him. The relationship wasn't great but I was very much motivated to become a better version of myself, learned how to live independently in a foreign country on my own, became more knowledgeable, making more friends, learned a lot more a...
