Me (28F), him (29M). Has anyone here in a LTR experienced not being very sexually fulfilled and attracted to their partner for the first period of the relationship, and had your desire and sexual attraction to them strengthen over months/years?

I (F17) started forming a relationship with a guy (F17) when I went over to a friends house and we ended up cuddling there, my head on his chest and his arm around me, and occasionally he held my hand and brushed the top of it. He’s an amazing guy that I’ve known for a long time and I’m surprised we kinda got to where we are since I just never thought about him besides seeing him as my bffs friend. However, since that night whenever we’re in a social setting, he acts platonically towards me unless it’s nighttime and we’re watching a movie again, then he’ll cuddle with me. I’m fine with it since I’m a little confused on where we stand and don’t mind taking my time to figure it out. However, I know he had a crush on my bff a month ago before she met her current boyfriend and he seems to look and talk with her a lot of the time we hang out. My bestie also seems hesitant and yet fully supportive of me seeing where things go, but also less so than she usually is (which may be because he’s ...

Just to begin with, there was this girl who lived in my city, but moved away to another country. After she moved away we began talking, and eventually said we had feelings for each other after a year and a half. However, we came to the conclusion that the logistics of a relationship wouldn't really work out, although I didn't want to admit it at the time. We didn't talk for a bit afterwards, and started talking regularly again. However, everytime I talk to her I all I can think of is how much I'd want to be with her. I try not talking to her for a week or two at a time, but she'll always message me and we start talking for hours at a time because it feels so effortless and I don't want to be mean and shut down the conversation. I don't know that she has many very close friends and I wouldn't feel right cutting contact completely, but I know I'm never gonna get over her if we're still talking all the time.

Hey everyone, I’m [M24] & I’ve just started seeing someone [F20] for roughly 3 weeks now. We both study the same medical degree and have floated around each other for most of the year as acquaintances/casual friends. On our ‘first date’ we realised we have a ridiculous amount in common; we planned to just go for a walk on the beach, but we ended up spending ~8 hours talking and vibing pretty hard with each other. The amount of overlap in our hobbies, tastes, opinions, etc. has been mind blowing and our conversations have flowed with ease ever since. After that first date, we’ve seen each other maybe 15 of the 21 days. Most dates end up being 6-10 hours (trips to waterfalls, drives, beaches, hikes, her staying over the night & watching Netflix, etc.) and neither of us have seemed to bat an eye. Heck, it hasn’t been intentional but we’ve seen each other every day for the past 7 days and it hasn’t felt forced or unnatural. Now I’m wondering though, are we putting the potential...

I tried OkCupid but I rarely found guys who were in the ace spectrum that were close to me plus I had to pay a subscription to access certain things. I know that I’m a monogamous person so I figured finding someone who wouldn’t care about sex would be ideal. September 23, 2021 at 12:49AM

Aro here. I have some reasonable amount of experience dating from before I figured it out but I don't pretend exactly understand all the intricacies of relationships. Still, here's my best advice. My recommendation if you were to use the more common dating websites/apps would be that you be very direct and up front about it. Stand your ground and don't hesitate to block people that don't respect you. You'll have to sift through a lot of people that aren't right for you. It will involve a pretty large amount of emotional effort, and so only you can decide if that is worth it. Alternatively, you can ask your friends to try and see if they know anyone that might be willing to go on a date with you, making sure to inform everyone not to expect a sexual relationship. You might feel a bit awkward but most likely your friends will be happy to help. If someone were to ask me, I know I could recommend a decent number of my friends. Don't be too afraid of rejecti...
