For this particular food metaphor, I’d say being asexual is like someone who doesn’t feel hunger or maybe just doesn’t crave food. They could still physically eat the food, but there’s no craving for it. Some might find it enjoyable to eat certain foods under certain circumstances even without that feeling of craving, the same way sex-favorable aces find sex enjoyable even without attraction. Some might find eating boring/neutral/a chore, the same as sex-indifferent aces. And some might feel nauseous and dislike even the idea of eating, the same as sex-repulsed aces who find the idea of sex actively distressing. But what makes them all asexual is that lack of craving.

How'd you come to terms with it? Was it just matter of time? Time has definitely helped me to feel more ok wearing non-baggy things, but then as soon as people stare or make uncomfortable remarks, I'm like the meme of that cute pink blob getting punched back into the box it felt safe enough to come out of.

okay i first want to make it clear that i am NOT homophobic . I went through my bfs reddit history out of curiosity ( he let me we both dont care about going through eachothers phones) a few months ago and i saw a prn video in his history and was shocked that it was a trans woman. He told me it must have popped up on one of the gaming pages he posted but i thought it looked random on his history. I decided to let it go and then today i saw he had 2 accounts blocked and were both from trans of girls. I asked him about it and he got mad at me and told me he cant believe id think hes gay. I really dont know what to do. Im a cis woman and i feel weird thinking that im not my bfs type. What should i do should i believe him or am i being naive?

I have a friend who I really like. He broke up with his girlfriend a couple of months ago and we text all day, every day. He'll ask about small things like how my day is going and what I'm having for dinner etc. He offered to help me move house recently, although I turned him down as I didn't want to seem needy. We've gone for dinner a couple of times recently and he's insisted on paying the whole bill, which seems like it may be a sign of interest. He'll often hint that we should hang out but it feels like it's always me that has to say 'well shall we do x on x day then?' which makes me question his interest. Do you think he does like me and is just scared? Submitted October 11, 2022 at 11:49PM I have a friend who I really like.

Okay I am definitely a self professed 37 year old metalhead who happens to be black. I know that metalheads come in all shapes and sizes. But do you ladies typically like someone that fits a certain aesthetic? I don't have the traditional aesthetic, so on dating apps I'm not sure I really give off the vibe that it's something I'm into.

For context, he’s asked me if I had a boyfriend in the past and showered me with compliments. Also what can I do if he does like me.

is it bad to want closure after being in a talking stage for a little over a month? we started off really good, hung out a few times and ft/texted every day and had really good conversations but this past week, it was like a switch flipped where he is completely being distant. his responses have been dry. and have only been responding 2-3 times a day. i just want to know if he has lost interest or a change of heart so i can stop wondering if he is going to respond or even reach out. what should i do?

I've only been at my high school for about a month, but I'm madly in love with a boy that sits behind me in choir class, neither of us are really conventionally attractive, but I just think he's super cute (I'm closeted but he's openly bisexual). He's very quiet and shy, so I've only talked to him once (asking him to vote for me for school president, which he said yes to). We look at each other a lot during class, and wave to each other sometimes. I'm usually pretty loud and rambunctious, but I'm not great at talking with new people 1 on 1. How do I talk to this guy, not even to tell him I like him, but just to get to know him?
