I yearn for love and connection, but dating feels impossible as someone who’d describe themselves as “heteroromantic ace”

I just don’t understand how I should go about dating? I have this deep desire for romance, affection, love and connection with someone, and I feel like I have a lot to give. But I’m not interested in sex; it is honestly somewhat repulsive.

I haven’t been in a relationship, but I have kissed a couple of people; it was just nothing. It felt solely mechanical, pointless really. But I love hugs, and cuddling!

I see a lot of my (hetero) friends and people in general talking about he/she is so hot, or “smash & pass” (which always makes me uncomfortable), but I never truly understood it. I very much appreciate beauty and aesthetics, but just to admire?

I think aesthetic attraction is very important for me, as I think I would need that on top of connecting with their personality to really feel romantic attraction. But it seems difficult to do, like how do you get to know people who you “fancy”, without leading them on, but also not just bluntly and weirdly announcing “I don’t like sex”?

I feel like I’m missing out on something really important and special that I desire, I love watching holiday movies or romcoms (without much sexual energy in them), but I don’t know how to make it work. :/

Anyone here experiencing something similar (whatever version of romance or sexuality you feel or don’t feel)?

I think I might be asexual and I'm trying to understand myself better

I recently started questioning whether I might be asexual, and I’d really appreciate some perspectives from people who have gone through something similar.

I’m in high school and recently started hanging out more with the girls in my class. I get along with them really well, and I genuinely enjoy their company. I can recognize that someone is beautiful, but it feels more like appreciating a nice landscape or an aesthetic vibe, not sexual attraction.

A while ago I realized I don’t feel sexual attraction toward anyone in real life. For example, when i have a “crush” it is purely about her personality and style. Thinking about anything sexual with her or with anyone actually feels slightly uncomfortable or even repulsive to me.

Something that confuses me is that my body still reacts physically to nudity or porn (like getting aroused), but it feels very disconnected from actual people. In real situations, the closer I am to someone, the more the idea of sex turns me off. I’m starting to realize that for me, emotional closeness or cuddling feels like the highest form of intimacy, something that means as much to me as sex seems to mean for others.

I’m trying to figure out if this all sounds like asexuality or maybe somewhere on the ace spectrum. I’d love to hear if anyone else has had similar experiences or thoughts.
