True. I never know how to continue a conversation or initiate small talk with someone. The only exception is if they like Persona. Then we could talk for hours on end. TPBM doesn't know how to read the room. Ever.

The New Aromantic Thread (v.1.5)
chronicallypessimistic replied to Lambda Corvus's topic in Romantic and Aromantic Orientations
Well that's how it is for me. When I look at someone pretty and/or hot, I just love to gaze and admire their physical appearance. If you asked me what makes me notice a person first, their personality or looks, I'd immediately say looks (personality later). I never have the urge to hug them, touch them whether it be in a sensual or sexual way, or date them, I just like to admire them. Not in a creepy, perversely staring at someone's body way, just a "I love their clothes, their hair, EVERYTHING" way. To put it easier, just imagine a straight girl. She finds so many girls really pre - Today

The New Aromantic Thread (v.1.5)
Lilihierax replied to Lambda Corvus's topic in Romantic and Aromantic Orientations
This is interesting, I have seen 'loveless aro' used a few times, and have looked into the definitions of it, but I imagine it's really dependent on personal definitions of love. Is it that you never really feel anything beyond liking or admiring? -
Asexual and Allo Relationship Questions
everywhere and nowhere replied to EdenWar's topic in Asexual Relationships
A little comment: in my opinion, the word "intimacy" shouldn't be used as an euphemism for sex - because it suggests that sexual contact is the only way to be intimate with someone. As someone who enjoys verbal intimacy - that is, personal conversations (although with friends only, because I have never been in a relationship) - but feels psychologically incapable of having sex, I know that there are many forms of intimacy and I don't feel right with an implicit assumption that if I'm not open to having sex to any extent, I cannot experience intimacy. -
welcome Yes, an asexual person can still experience all of this and remain asexual. 'Aegosexual' is a common term used in the ace community which might have some overlap with your experiences. Sexual attraction generally means you have a mental desire to engage in some kind of sexual behavior with a specific person, and you feel a "magnetic pull" towards them. Sexual arousal is purely physical (mainly, genital activity happening). These two can happen together, or each one separately. An asexual person can (but not necessarily) have the arousal, but typically never

Woof. Protip: Flirting does not mean bombard someone with every topic you can think of, including those you know nothing about.
I suppose the idea is that you *have* eventually hit a topic the other person is interested in, if you talk long enough. That would be a sound strategy if interest in a topic translated into interest in you, but sadly no.
Besides, in this case, while I am being correctly read as queer, that does not mean ignore every other signal. Someone who barely looks directly at you, and who mostly smiles and nods in response to everything you are saying? Not a sign for full speed ahead with the "flirting"!

Hi There! Attracted to clothes, not persons
Lilihierax replied to dominicnl's topic in Welcome Lounge
Hoi! A few thoughts come to mind when I read this, mainly microlabels specific to the experience you've described. I'm not sure if you are looking for labels or to be pointed in some direction. Attraction has lots of different kinds (sexual, romantic, aesthetic, and much more specific than that). If you are still questioning about your identity, reading through the different attractions might help! -

Did your parent/guardian ever have the 'birds & the bees' talk with you?
WanderingPurpleDragon replied to Lilihierax's topic in Asexual Musings and Rantings
My mom had the talk with me and my sister at the same time. I felt so awkward about it...I didn't know why but I just didn't like the idea of it. She had gotten books on the subject too so that we'd be able to learn more and ask questions. She even let me read the Twilight series with the caveat that I ask if I am confused about anything. So there were many talks in general. Hell, she even gave the talk again before college because she thought I was clueless about it (she is still convinced I am but I probably won't be able to change her mind until...or if I ever put that knowledge to use). -
