I'm ace, aro, and one of the most introverted people I know. As far as conventional dating goes, I have little to offer a partner, and it's not what I'm interested in anyway. What I do want is to increase my circle of adopted family. People to take trips with, have holiday meals with, do favors for, and be able to count on for support in the long term. But how do you ask for *that*?
We just connect via the friendship channel, and hope for things to happen on the visual/aesthetic, the noetic and perhaps a few more channels. Split attraction model at work.
Like being ace usually mean you feel little to no sexual attraction but may still feel romantic attraction which means if you wanted you could still date ppl
this would be true if most people didn't think a date is solidified into a relationship after a seggsual interaction... or more, I don't even know tbh I don't understand dating.
I’m still on the asexual scale. I have no idea where but I’m also a romantic so yeah I’m just trying to sit here trying to figure out if I’m sexually attracted to someone or aesthetically, ha ha ha ha
I SENT THIS TO ALL MY FRIENDS! holy crap do I ever relate to this as someone who just got broken up with a couple weeks ago! I was dating my best friend and now i just cry myself to sleep playing video games as I have no best friend and no GF ...
Surely an asexual is not interested in an emotionally intimate relationship - but are open to friendships with many people that do not involve intense intimacy ?
Emotional intimacy is much broader than sex. Most allosexual people I know, esp women have multiple emotionally intimate friendships ( including relatives) that are nonsexual.
Me as ace-demiro: “Well, kinda, but also not really and also maybe, and probably not”
💜💚🤍🩶🖤
Me as an oriented aroace (demialterous) that wants a qpr:
ace demiro too :)
Yup, me being (definitely) Aro, Ace & (probably) Aego & Orchid. Oh the irony of it! 😏

realest thing I've ever read
I am pretty much the same, if I ever figure it out I'll let you know. It kind of is a lot to deal with
👋 Hi, you're so sweet ty for commenting 😊
Relatable.
Although im over "wanting to be in a relationship".
It's really a thing to think about 😭

What is the noetic channel?
@@MangoTamtam Noetic attraction is attraction to someone's mind; how they think; attraction to smarts.
This is me to a tee!

Oh the paradox of being an Asexual! 🥹 🖤🩶🤍💜
Yess Relatable 😭
Relatable.

Yes! We cry. Not date.

Depends on the kind of a-spec flavour. Also many types of intense intimacy that are not sex.
I'm an asexual, and I really want an emotionally intimate, romantic relationship! Just without the sex bit, that's all /pos
