Stained Glass Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I know two asexuals (one aromantic) and two demisexuals :) this includes anyone you personally want to consider under the "ace umbrella" Link to post Share on other sites
Zerο Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I think around 10, I met 5 of them through AVEN though. Oh, and a handful in another state when I traveled for work. Link to post Share on other sites
Valja Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 None, sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one in this city Link to post Share on other sites
Tsubaki Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Zero, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to change that ^^ Link to post Share on other sites
Zapstileon Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not a single one. I'm lucky to find anyone on the sexuality spectrum at all who aren't straight. I can count my LGBT friends on one hand. Either a lot of people in this city are lying, or I am the unluckiest ace in the world to be dropped into a completely heterosexual society.

Laurenmaru Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 None, unfortunately. But I hope to find some others who live by me one of these days. :) Link to post Share on other sites
aka Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 none, but maybe some people that I know are asexual but I don't know because they have not told me Link to post Share on other sites
Aworld Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 One of my best friends turned out to be ace ... it was pretty awesome when we both found out about each other! ^_^ She is the only ace I know in real life, apart from someone who seems very aro ace (never has had a crush, not interested in relationships other than friends/family in the slightest) but who hasn't confirmed.

drjohnhwatson Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I clicked 3-4, but it might have been five or so. I've had a few people on Tumblr be like WAIT YOU'RE ACE WOW I THINK I MIGHT BE TOO, but we don't talk very much at all. I've not really kept tally, and my memory with that sort of thing is bad anyhow. I think I've met one or two people on Twitter, actually, now that I think about it. See, memory=bad. Anyway, not a lot. Everyone else has been on, er, boards for asexuals, so... I've not met anyone IRL who identifies as ace. Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I met two girls from my area. Link to post Share on other sites
iamphoenixfire Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 My neighbor, my mom, and my ex boyfriend. all demi. i also know a girl who might be aro. but she isn't sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Smmk Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Although I suspect my brother is asexual or demisexual at least, he has confirmed nor denied it. I don't know anyone else that is or could be ace besides him. Link to post Share on other sites
HermioneGranger Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not a single one. :( Link to post Share on other sites
TheLandsBeyond Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Only two; one asexual and one demi. I actually taught the asexual one about asexuality, and now we talk about asexual problems every week. Link to post Share on other sites
The Wreyck Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think just one. My best friend whom I introduced AVEN and asexuality to a little over a year ago, though we've been friends for several years now. I know various AEN people outside of AVEN via other social networking sites, but I've not met any of them in RL yet, most are over seas or half way across the country.

kelico Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 As far as I know, just one (and they made a huge impact in my self-discovery!). Besides them, I'm unaware of anyone else (unless they just haven't told me lol!) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I only know one gal outside of AVEN - a close friend of mine, M. - who identifies as demisexual (I actually first heard her use that term a few weeks before I ended up on AVEN, myself :)). Never met a "full blown" ace aside from here that I'd know of. Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 none, everyone I know is openly sexual, of various orientations Link to post Share on other sites
deltaX Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 One of my friends is demisexual. Never met anyone else that came out to me as ace though. :/ I do know a few people who act like they could be ace, and there's a guy in one of my classes that I suspect might be ace because he wears a black ring every day, but I didn't count them because I don't know for sure.

RoswellValentine Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I clicked 3-4, though I may have goofed up there. One of my friends is asexual, another is demisexual, and I think my brother may be asexual, but I haven't really brought it up. Link to post Share on other sites

littleheartsofjoy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 1. She;s cool but I know her from another site, and she's hardly on. Link to post Share on other sites
Jockey Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've known a few people who identified ace at some point while I knew them, who do not currently identify as asexual anymore. For the purposes of this survey, I am including anybody I've known at any point who told me that they were, or thought they were, asexual. That puts my count at fourteen that come to mind right now. I'm not sure if maybe I thought about it longer and tried harder to remember if the count would be higher- I suspect it would be. Link to post Share on other sites
Kagon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've met ALL the aces! MUHAHAHA!!!. Seriously though, I've met 30+ in my greater metropolitan area alone, and that was *before* I went to WorldPride. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 My mom thinks she may be ace. She is happily celibate and doesn't much care about labels though. Beyond that though none. Link to post Share on other sites
R_1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It is entirely possible I've met one, but this person might not told me because it isn't anyone's business and that's the same reason why I haven't came out to most. Link to post Share on other sites
I'd rather be in band. Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I know that my best friend is asexual, and that my squish may be. After I came out to him, he said he had thought about if he was asexual, but he wasn't quite sure if he was. So, 1 or 2.. Link to post Share on other sites
