Hahaha isn't that aggravating? I'm lowkey pissed at my friend because after I discovered asexuality in college, I told her I was ace and she just said, "oh yeah, me too, I was the token ace in my high school friend group." Well, thanks for giving me a heads up, best friend whom I've known since 5th grade! It's just funny how you can know someone so well and yet the obvious 2+2 goes right over your head sometimes February 20, 2022 at 11:29PM

Tl;dr we’ve known each other since elementary school, and have been hanging out every week/other week recently, but live on opposite sides of the country. I don’t think I should tell him how I feel because logistics are an issue. What do folks here think? Some details: I (26F) am interested in this guy (27M), and have a feeling the sentiment is reciprocated. He’s the first man I’ve liked in my adult life (great personality, fun to hang out with, can talk about a ton of topics, etc.) and this is the first time I’ve ever been physically attracted to someone too. As much as I like him and he says he would love for a girl to ask him out, I can’t bring myself to communicate my feelings to him/ask him out because we live in different parts of the country (he’s in my home city, I’m elsewhere). I’m trying to change jobs now, but I’m not sure how long relocation will take. I also really don’t wish to cause any stress/discomfort to him in the off chance he doesn’t feel the same way, plus if...

I feel absolutely pathetic when saying this because I feel like i've missed out on some much. My mental health hasn't been the best since my childhood so as a teen I didn't feel the need plus I had tons of body insecurities and teen sex wouldn've been lame and awkward so no regrets on that, but during college nobody I liked ever cared about me in that way. Now that I would like to date someone I realize i'm clueless and feel like a child.

I really want a girlfriend or at least some sort of connection with the opposite sex but feel like going on night outs is the only way of doing that. It's the one thing I really don't like and also seems the only way of meeting somebody. It would make sense if I didn't do anything else but I have lots of hobbies and interests. You can meet someone through all sorts of ways, (I do understand that) like shops, on the train, through friends, dating apps etc... However I haven't had any luck on dating apps and the other ways of meeting someone out and about is just awkward and feels impossible to do. I am good at holding conversations and being polite but I am just quite introverted and so the initiations of dating someone is the hardest part for me. Any help is appreciated Submitted February 21, 2022 at 12:13AM I really want a girlfriend or at least some sort of connection with the opposite sex but feel like going on night outs is the only way of doing that.

Met the most wonderful man. At first, I got butterflies, felt amazing the slightest touch, wanting to touch and kiss all the time, very high sexual desire, kissing was amazing, holding hands all the time. I’ve dated him for 8 months and we’ve got very comfortable, but I no longer look at him and feel sexual urge. Kissing doesn’t feel amazing anymore. And I don’t get butterflies when he touches me anymore. I don’t have the same desire for sex as I did before but I don’t have much of a libido atm for anyone else either I am happy and comfortable with him but unsure why the strong feelings of attraction fade and I no longer want sex as much, sex doesn’t seem as exciting as at first? I even feel less cuddly with him Is this normal over time that relationships actually can feel boring and platonic?? Submitted February 21, 2022 at 12:13AM Met the most wonderful man.

I started talking to this girl pretty recently. We met through work and she recently quit and after that I texted her on snapchat and had a conversation which eventually led to her saying she would be down to hang out sometime if I was. I said yes but she never looked at that message but she did look at my story. 2 days after that I message her and ask her to hang out and she seemed pretty excited to hang out. We hung out today and after that I sent her a message and she has once again, looked at my story posts, but has ignored my message. What does this mean?

You could perhaps go to a family therapist so your mom can have a second opinion. Though not every therapist is supportive towards aces so perhaps look for one that is lgbtq friendly. February 20, 2022 at 11:27PM
