My heart is broken and I feel like I will never find someone that's right for me and whom I'm right for.
A month ago my allo boyfriend broke up with me. We were living together for over a year already. I still love him and it hurts so much to not have him by my side. He accepted me for who I am, was ok with my sexuality and was such an encouraging partner. But living together 24/7 through this pandemic made it very difficult to keep the relationship healthy. He felt like he needed to be alone and that it was unfair for both of us to keep the relationship going.
I am asexual but I'm not aromatic. I feel like I will never find someone who I'm compatible with. I don't think I should get in relationships with allos ever again because it wouldn't be compatible. And it makes me feel like I will never find anyone. I don't want to be alone my whole life, but I also don't want to keep getting myself into relationships with people that I'm not compatible with. I don't know anyone else that's asexual, I feel like the odds of me ever falling in love with someone that loves me back and is ace and compatible are extremely close to 0 and it just makes me so so sad.
And, to be completely honest, I just wish my ex and I were still together. I miss him so much.

i'm tired of having to explain in detail why i'm asexual to even be accepted
this might sound nitpicky, but i've noticed how non-asexual people ask inappropriate and invasive questions when i say i'm ace. i've noticed other asexuals being treated the same way; asking us if we're virgins, if we're on medication, if we have hormone issues, etc. it's annoying and tiresome to constantly explain why i'm ace. i just wish they just accepted me as is.

I met an ace girl !!!
So a friend told me about how a bi classmate came out to her class. And i contacted the girl cause i admired her . And suddenly , she told me that she might be ace. We talked about it , and we concluded that she was demisexual. She has a lot of similarities to me . I feel like we are a perfect fit. So we started texting. Tuns out she has a short social battery , so she normal texts 2 or 1 hours a day max with a person. We text like 4 hours. Maybe i am going to fast. She is demi so it might take a while . Such a fun girl. We can talk about anything. We talked about the big sad and the commit die . And i met her 4 days ago. She believes in astro things (idk how it is called). She says leos ( her ) and aquas ( me ) are a perfect match. And she even defended me in front of a friend. Maybe this will become something. Only the social battery is a little bit annoying. But so fun to find another ace , that might be a match .

“The homosexuals want respect? They should respect me too! I don’t want them nearby”
Well, I just heard that from my mom.
I’m still a closeted agender aroace, so I’m not in a place to talk back, but I just feel so angry.
To be fair, I don’t even think she knows what exactly the lgbt+ community stands for, like, she thinks we just want to shove the “gayness” down their throats, but like, is it too much to ask for representation? Is it too much to want some more explicit rep?
I just know that I will have to get away from them if I ever want to feel like I can be who I truly am.
Thank u ace comunity for making me feel a bit better about myself. I really love you guys.

I fucking hate being ace
A story.
A few months ago I came out as ace to my best friend who I was also interested in for a relationship (I'm a 19 y.o male, she's a 19 y.o female). I told her I am ace as well that I am interested in her, and I asked if she would ever give up sex for a relationship. She said "only if it was someone I really really love".
.
6-7 months later (present day) the connection between us became so strong. (I'm talking physical touch, kisses on the cheeks and forehead from time to time, she was the only person I talked with on a daily basis even though we live about 1.5 hours away).
I wanted to ask her on a date. But I didn't know if the whole ace situation is still a problem.
Eventually I asked and surprise surprise, she said no. Her exact words were: "sometimes I said 'just be with him (me), it's the most fun and the best option', but not having sex will be a problem for me".
.
You know how Im calling asexuality? The bummer orientation.

Thank you for reading.

So grateful to whoever made the cereal comparison!
So, I'm a sex positive ace. Which confuses many people. I was visiting with a friend recently and we got onto the topic of sex. She is incredibly sexual and literally couldn't understand why I wouldn't want sex all the time.
So, I explained it with cereal. You are hungry and go looking for cereal and get excited that you have cookie crisp. I am not hungry but I open the pantry and think that fruit loops sound OK.
She was able to understand me! It feels kind of silly to be excited about but it felt so validating to be able to explain myself and be understood. So thank you cereal person!!
