I (M21) told (F21) how I felt to early and spooked her. For background we only been talking for about 2 weeks and we are polar opposites. I’m more extroverted and wears my heart on my sleeves while she’s more introverted and closed off. I take things at a fast pace while she takes things at a slower pace. I told her yesterday that I like her and wanted to move faster and this scared her. She wanted to talk for six months before dating and she’s not used to such a fast pace and the pace we already been going is to fast for her. She never had a Boyfriend or even kissed a guy. We went on a “date” but she didn’t want to count it as date and more of a hangout. But we were doing date things like hugging on each other and holding hands. She said she felt like the pace that she wants doesn’t line up with what I want or need. I’m down to slow down because I really like her.(I get attached fast) I had a girlfriends in the past my longest being two years. I came up with a deal where basicall

Setting aside the debate on terminology for a minute I’ll try to answer the question you asked by sharing my personal experience. I don’t know how to label it so I’ll speak specifically to practical experience and say that I tend to be prone to sensory overload under certain circumstances and be particularly affected by certain stimuli. As I’ve gotten older and more self aware, I’ve learned to manage it by avoiding those situations that are likely to affect me negatively. But I don’t think that has anything to do with my being asexual. I don’t think I’d experience sexual attraction regardless. But I do wonder whether it influences my tendency to be sex averse. There are certain aspects of sexual activity I know I wouldn’t react well to from a purely sensory perspective. Of course that’s all anecdotal and individual personal experience so take from it what you will. July 30, 2022 at 11:18PM
