After taking this quiz, I realized I'm asexual. I'm worried about what that means for my love life though. For most people, sex is an important part of a relationship so I wonder if it'll be hard for me to find a partner :( How did you realize you were ace and how has dating been for you?

Ngl dating has sucked for me so far. I was already in a relationship with my ex-bf when I realized I was asexual. Instead of breaking up with me and finding someone who was more compatible with him, he told me he loved me for who I was but then tried pressuring and guilt tripping me into having sex with him, so I left. Now a lot of people unmatch with me when I tell them I'm asexual, even though I have it in my dating profile. It's so frustrating

Yeah, it's hard to date when you're asexual because sex is a non-negotiable for most allo people. That's why I only date other asexual people now. My ex was allo and she said that she was okay with never having sex because she loved everything about me and our relationship outside of it, and she never pressured me to have sex with her, but I could tell that she wasn't really fulfilled. It was so hard to break it off with her :(

I personally never dated but considering that people I know that have been in relationships I know that they see sex as important and valuable I don’t get it I see how dating would be hard in my mind going for close friends who get might work but idk my advice is kind of bad I know I just wanted to show support

Dating has been really difficult. For the longest time I had been a people pleaser and felt forced to comply to the other person's need (after they constantly insisted that they "needed" it), thinking that this is what was "normal". I was taken advantage of and pushed to do things I was extremely uncomfortable doing. I feel sick to my stomach and extremely nauseated when I look back at these experiences.

I don't know , I'm still confused,! Am i asexual or not ? I felt strong sexual attraction once for my close friend but when i try to change the image and try to set another person in my mind, it doesn't feel like that anymore....May be I'm demisexual or may be I don't relate with asexual spectrum at all.... I'm just confused...

You are your own person and if someone wants what you don't then their not the right person for you. Don't worry I am questioning but know that you aren't the only asexual.

Personally, I think I’m aroace. Honestly, I’ve only ever felt attraction to ONE person. In a romantic way not sexual. This definitely helped
