Bookwyrm Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hi everyone I'm here to make friends. I moved to a new area (am probably moving again soon closer to work). My girlfriend broke up with me (and I can't help but feel my disinterest in sex was a larger factor than she admits), and the whole idea of asexuality is very new for me. It's something I've been thinking about, here and there, for a few years. I tried to get on Asexualitic but didn't have much luck meeting people or having longer conversations. And I love a good conversation. Sorry to lead with a sob story. My real point is just that I'm laid back, have diverse interests, love to joke, and would love to have some new people to talk to, especially people who can understand the struggle with a sexual identity at odds with so much of mainstream culture. Off the top of my head, I'm into literature, fantasy fiction, horror movies, stand up comedy, art, history, animals (including mythical ones), aaaand....more things than it occurs to me to write. I'm male, in my 20s, degree in Literature, write fiction, etc I don't know if you'd like to talk I'd like to talk too. If you understand the joke in my display name, all the better (it isn't a good joke) Link to post Share on other sites

Firefly1495 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm pretty new and looking for other people to have good conversations with too! It gets a little lonely being surrounded by people who just don't quite understand who you are all the time and its nice to talk to others on the ace spectrum to get that community. I'd love to talk!

Lichley Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I feel you want to meet people in your local area you could always check o the Meetup Mart, by looking at existing posts and maybe even offering to host a Meetup yourself you could meet fellow asexuals that live near you and make some new friends, and possibly even meet someone new Link to post Share on other sites

bonny Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Welcome. I also enjoy longer conversations with people; but I am a lot older than you so it would be up to you if you felt comfortable with that or not. You're welcome to send me a PM if you're interested to chat. I hope you have a good time on AVEN. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it started out as a stereotype and it was adopted because it is a way to relate to each other like how if you Like Harry Potter you relate to the Wingardam Leviosa thing. Oh oh I found this From what I understand, asexuality.org (AVEN) made cake an unofficial symbol of asexual-ness, since we believe "cake is better than sex" Link to post Share on other sites
