5 Things You Should Know Before Dating An Asexual

Today's video I'm going to be talking about 5 things you should know before dating an asexual person.

I feel like one of the biggest questions around the asexual community is, "Do asexual folks want a relationship?" and the short answer is...every asexual person is different BUT asexuality is a spectrum and ace folks want relationships all the time. So I've made a list to help out allosexual folks who are interested in dating an asexual or if your partner just came out as asexual to help better understand the ace person in your life. I hope you all enjoy this video and be sure to leave a comment down below if there's other things you wish allosexual folks knew before dating an asexual person!

I’ve been questioning whether I’m ace for a while. After watching several of your vids tho, I’ve determined that I’m probably demiromantic and asexual or graysexual

Just got in a relationship with someone whos ace and demiromantic (so weve been friends for years before this) and im trying to figure this out. Very helpful, thanks for the tips ❤️

I know that there are asexual women and men out there, but could anyone tell me how I can find asexual men to date. It's just seems like mose people out there are into sex, and I feel kinda lost when it comes to dating because of the whole sex thing.

Sometimes, most of the time, I feel like I want sex, but I don't feel attracted to anyone. Maybe it's just the society norm speaking in my head, but it makes it so confusing. But people in the community have said that it's not that big of a deal, and I believe that but also that it could feel good, and so I'll try to keep it in a corner for now as I'm not dating and I don't want a random hookup. But also been thinkin that I could be aro, but not sure.
*system is confused*

So if your on the ACE table when should you tell a potential partner about this? it seems the majority of ACE people start relationships let the relationship grow over months or even years and then open up about their ACE nature.

Sex is a hugely important aspect to many people so surly this should be addressed within the first few weeks if not the first few months?

[jaredhicks]

Even if Aegosexuality is porn addiction dressed up as an identity, does it matter? If thats what you're into, that okay. If your life is fulfilling to you, that's all that matters, even if society doesn't understand. You can still have friends and a normal life in every other way. You might even be able to find a partner or a few friends to share thiz with.

Dont push the boundaries? There are also things like compromise. I was with an asexual person. So happy I left her in time.

My favorite response is, "oh, so you're Christian" (which you can see by my username, I clearly am not).

Main thing you learn: you aren’t actually dating so run.

I dated someone who was ace and it ended poorly mainly due to lack of communication on her part but some on mine
This person came out as ace specifically sex replied and already was a tell don't show sorta lover with both are valid but for me it was already sorta difficult as I'm a affectionate person and more of a show don't tell as I find it hard to put some feelings into words or text she said I don't know where my boundaries are and I essentially said I'd give her space to figure them out still texted and hung out but after roughly six months I was constantly reminding myself hey she doesn't like this or that witch again valid
We went to the movies and at the theater she put her hand on my lap I held it for the rest of the movie and she then broke up with me because I didn't understand her boundaries
If your partner comes out as ace be supportive and be there for them but if it is dragging on you and you don't feel it's working out don't put yourself through it just to try and help someone else you'll often do more harm than good
(Fyi) this was the first date we been on and no I don't remember much between those texts
