Hasn’t asked me out on 4th date yet

Hi there Just wanted some advice on this situation. I (F26) dating a guy (M24). We started talking on a dating app and hit it off. I hinted we should go for coffee and we did. We connected really well, he texted smth along the lines let me know if you want to do this again. And we did ! Then I suggested a third date. All three dates were fabulous. But I felt like I might have been the one suggesting and planning the dates. So I was hoping he’d ask me out on a 4th date without me initiating it. We text daily at least once. So I don’t understand why he wouldn’t. I indirectly asked him about his weekend plans and he just gave me a regular answer without suggesting we should meet up. I don’t want to be the only one putting the effort in this and if he likes me wouldn’t he want to meet up with me ? Ugh idk I’m confused.

/u/binadanae on I can’t tell if i’m asexual, or somewhere else on the spectrum!

Sexual disgust is a very common response, and it seems especially high in women. Disgust is a natural feeling that has evolved to prevent us from things like illness and contamination. Saliva and sweat are two of the more gross aspects of sex. Those things are gross even without the sexual context. It could be that you’re quicker to disgust and even within the context of sex, it’s hard for you to shake. Most people feel disgust about bodies and it’s the context of sex and our desire for it and us getting turned on that usually overpowers the disgust at least while we’re doing it. Disgust isn’t always about physical things, we can have psychological disgust when we think about things that are traditionally seen as immoral, such as having sex. I think you really need to think about why you are disgusted by certain things. I’m not sure what you meant about experimenting, and it could just be the newness of it and the fact that you were turned on that helped mitigate the disgust, but it ...

Australia :) Could get an old cheap house for that out of the city, or maybe a crappy unit in the outer suburbs lol, we’re just talking absolute minimums here, $500k would obviously be better July 28, 2022 at 11:43PM

/u/DustErrant on i hate seeing things like this, we're not emotionless, we can still desire closeness with another person, im not any less lonely being asexual

Grass is always greener on the other side. People are generally bad at empathy, they can generally only see their own suffering and are very bad at understanding why those who are different may also be suffering for reasons they haven't bothered to try to comprehend. July 28, 2022 at 11:43PM

/u/DustErrant on Just discovered my asexuality had a medical cause. Feeling a bit lost right now.

While I think a lot of the community here is tired of people claiming they most have a hormone imbalance or something medically wrong with them, the truth of the matter is, there ARE people with medical conditions that affects how they view sexual attraction and libido. You're just as much a fraud as someone who realized they were gay after having been in multiple straight relationships...that is to say, you're not a fraud at all. Things happen, things change. For it to be fraud, it would have be knowingly done and malicious in nature, and I'm pretty sure it was neither. July 28, 2022 at 11:40PM
