Article also seems to suggest that merely "deep friendships" are romantic..... So idk. September 13, 2020 at 11:56PM

"Deep friendships.... can feel just as romantic" I'm confused. Just having a close friend isn't romantic love? I have close friends that I can depend on and be myself around, but I don't want to snuggle with them or hold hands, or take their mannerisms in. Aces who are in romantic relationships, aren't just looking for good friends? September 13, 2020 at 11:55PM

Thank you 🙏😢 September 13, 2020 at 11:51PM

Fantasies are just fantasies. You could fantasise about sex, about what you would do in a zombie apocalypse or about riding an elk through the Canadian wilderness. It doesn't necessarily mean you actually want to be in any of these situations. Just have fun and enjoy yourself. September 13, 2020 at 11:47PM

Can't say he seems too active these days... September 13, 2020 at 11:47PM

When I came out to my husband he wasn't surprised at all. Even if we don't know it, I think we send out these signals that our sexual partners unconsciously pick up. So perhaps your partner will also be understanding, and if they aren't then maybe the relationship isn't going anywhere. Everyone is different of course so I wish you luck!

Congrats! It’s nice to find something that fits, isn’t it? There’s also r/aegosexuals if you want to join. September 13, 2020 at 11:42PM

Best of luck for the future! :) September 13, 2020 at 11:42PM

Found the actual journal article which is free to read surprisingly. Journalists reporting on scientific stuff can be a bit oversimplified or a bit too eager September 13, 2020 at 11:41PM

Beautiful collection! September 13, 2020 at 11:20PM

Stylish robes in the ace color scheme, yess... I can see it now 🤔 September 13, 2020 at 11:12PM

That is simultaneously the most stealthy and the most ace ring i’ve ever seen September 13, 2020 at 11:11PM

I fucking love psychology today September 13, 2020 at 11:11PM

Sounds like someone deliberately trying to be inflammatory. September 13, 2020 at 11:09PM

Okay, cool cool, lol September 13, 2020 at 11:08PM

It's been a draining rough few months and I want to make change happen. He lost his job and I got one almost immediately. I have severe adhd(it's a lot like bpd but not exactly) and it makes it hard for me to remember stuff, so even telling me to write down conversations and stuff doesn't help me? Cause even then I forget to do that. It's really hard to re get to know someone when you don't have much in common and your s/o doesn't want to try and find things to be interested in together. So I've been trying really hard to get into some of the things he likes and I barely know any of that. I barely even know what I like at this point being a mother is stressful so I've kinda forgot who I am and what I'd like to do in life. We've been slacking in the cleaning department, and we always procrastinate. We ALSO live with the in laws so that don't help. We fight over petty shit because I always say things wrong for example this morning I said ...

I am a SAHM. But on the weekends and evenings, I need a break. He always naps, watches TV. I always always have to ask him to help out. He has an office that he always goes into and shut the door. I have no where to escape to. Is this normal? I just want him to understand that I need a break too. I’ve tried communicating reasonably but his behaviors don’t change.

31F here dating a 36M for just two months (9 weeks) now. We had a lot of fun on our dates - usually twice a week. He texted regularly, didn’t flake, seemed enthusiastic and also cooked multiple meals for me. We got along well and had common interests and were both looking for something serious. I grew to like him. At the one month mark, things still never really became physical and we hadn’t kissed or anything so I was wondering where it was going. He replied that we felt very comfortable together but feelings had to be developed. It is now the two month mark, and things have not changed since then. No physical contact. I dropped various hints and flirted but nothing happened. Decided to ask him what was up - he said that he had feelings for me but they were “not intense”. He had been hoping for a spark and “the feeling”. He then suggested we give it a try developing the spark since we fit really well on paper. He felt that pragmatically things could develop if we tried hard. He sa...

I got out of a pretty emotionally abusive, toxic relationship about two months ago. I’m ready to start dating again. I absolutely love first dates, getting to know someone new and having great conversation. I’ve had MAYBE two not great first dates in my entire life, but for some reason, even if I have a great time.... I still don’t want to go on a second date with anyone. I know it’s probably a lot of what happened to me in my past relationship (abandonment, infidelity, manipulation, etc), but I don’t want those things to keep me from meeting the right person. I’m super loving when I find the “right” person (although the people that I think are the “right” people usually turn out to be the wrong people). How do I make it to date 2? Help please!

I don't know how else to put this, but I'm a late bloomer when it comes to dating. I was always bad at it, and it would be like instead of trying and failing at things, I just...let years pass by. I'm not a 10, but I am attractive. I've done enough things and been successful enough, there is no reason I should hate myself or think I am not interesting. However, I've struggled with debilitating anxiety and depression hard since I was 19. I don't know exactly why or how I managed to make it to 30 and be where I am (with dating). I've been in therapy on and off since I was 19, so I've come a long way. It's like I woke up one day and was just here. I have managed to casually date a few people (nothing ever longer than 1-3 months), and had sex with 2 people. Once each time, one was a veritable stranger and the other was a lifelong friend. I'm like Goldilocks out here... Anyway, I'm a very liberal woman. I've always been the #1 supporter of m...
