So, I recently figured out for myself that I’m asexual. Up until now I was really disgusted by sex and didn’t even have the drive to do it with someone, which I though was odd for my age (16). Most of my friend had already lost their virginity and I thought there was something wrong with me because I’ve never even been in a relationship. I then found out about the asexual/aromantic side of MOGAI and thought that that’s pretty much what I am. I got crushes on pretty people - which I found out is Aesthetic Attraction - but I didn’t want to have sex with them or was I in love with them. More like, I wouldn’t say “no” if they asked me out. I found an aspect on aro spectrum that I thought is definitely me - cupioromantic. It means that the person is aromantic, but still likes the idea of/desires romantic relationships. That kinda makes it hard because I know how to be affectionate, but I can’t exactly love someone.

There’s this guy who appears to have a crush on me and I don’t know what to do. He doesn’t exactly fit all of my aesthetics, but he’s still a cutie. I don’t mind giving him a chance, but he doesn’t know I’m aro yet (I plan to come out on social media soon, though, so he’ll see it). I don’t know what I should do, any ideas/advice? Also, if there are people like me out there, hmu I’

d love to be friends with someone like me!!
