Hi, I'm AspieAlly613.
I'm demiromantic, to the point that I just can't see myself ever going on a first date with anyone I haven't already been friends with for months. (About 9 years ago, when a friend of a friend said our mutual friend thought we'd make a good couple, my response was "I hope you understand that I'd need more to go on than that," much to the chagrin of the woman who asked me out and the mutual friend who tried to set us up.
I've been involved with the asexual community since 2018, and have gotten plenty of advice from the community on the best ways to navigate romance as a demiromantic, especially as I value the importance of a strong nonsexual foundation for romance. Last year, that advice and guidance proved exceptionally valuable when I entered my first relationship, a QPR with a wonderful ace partner.
I hope to be a part of this thriving community for years to come, engaging in dialogue about navigating life in an oversexualized world, learning more about myself, and helping others do the same. Feel free to DM me, I'm usually down to chat.
Hi, I'm Tinadrin.
I have been involved with the asexual community since 2014. I am also nonbinary.
The asexual community has helped me to understand a lot about myself, as well as about others, and about society.
I am autistic, among quite a few other things, which all combined make things exceedingly complicated, but at the same time they make me the person that I am.
My number one interest in life is my created universe. I've been doing it since I was in primary school, and it is absolutely the most important thing in my life.
I also have a cat, and as I struggle to get outdoors at all, she is wonderful for giving me some company at home. She's almost a year old.
I am quite happy to talk/listen about pretty much anything, except I have little interest in sports or road transportation, generally speaking. I love to learn, and also I quite often find new things to incorporate into my universe, so that's a double bonus.
@tinadrin Awesome! Here a picture of my cat!
@AspieAlly613 She is beautiful!
Here is mine, I am really thankful to have her:
Hello all! I am very new to this community and still rather confused as to what I am learning about myself. At this point it is still undecided (therapy) as to how I define myself but the term Graysexual has been used lately. I'm pleasantly surprised to learn that I am perfectly normal as I've felt just the opposite for years. Hopefully I'm in the right place and can learn more while here. Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area and kindly directly me to where I should be.
@nanayto5 Welcome, and sorry for my late reply. (I'm moving house, and have been busy packing everything.)
I understand how that goes. Thank you for the welcome and best to you in your move!@admin1
