I haven’t “come out” to my parents because it just seems like it’s not at all relevant to them? I’m panromantic so I may or may not end up in a lifelong relationship, but my nonattraction to people and voluntary lack of a sex life really doesn’t concern them. April 11, 2019 at 06:34AM

Honesty is probably the best. Whether you're ace or not, it's clear that, for now, you aren't interested in more than hugging, and you shouldn't compromise on that. Talk to him about how you feel, and if he can't handle it, then he isn't worth your time. You're only 16, you have plenty of time to grow and learn and discover your truths.

This is why I like how GSRD (Gender, Sexually, and Relationship Diversities) seems to be catching on. Much shorter while still being inclusive. April 11, 2019 at 06:12AM

I'm more like the kid who's really good at football but doesn't like football and would rather be in theater April 11, 2019 at 06:07AM

I can relate. When I had to have an examination down there for the first time, I almost kicked the old lady in the face. I can't offer any advice that hasn't already been given, but I wish you luck! April 11, 2019 at 06:05AM

I didn't see any downvoting going on...but I upvoted some people who made some good points. April 11, 2019 at 06:05AM

kind of in the same boat here. im never in relationships and all in my teens and 20s my mom would always tell me "its okay if you are gay me and your dad would still love you" and id always tell them im not gay. it got to the point where i was tired of them asking and i told my mom if she asked me that one more time id stop talking to her. i think they might still think im gay and honestly i dont even care if they do. but i also dont know why i just dont tell them how i really feel. i think its easier for them to understand the concept of if i was gay and in the closet than that i am actually asexual and am not sexually attracted to people and dont care about being in a relationship April 11, 2019 at 06:02AM
