HeatherAnne Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Only twice. The first one wasn't really the best decision. I was still in the phase of "maybe I just need to try." It didn't last long at all because he was mostly interested in sex and I just wasn't at all. The second one was I actually liked. We had been friends for about two years before we started dating and he wasn't pushy about sex. And I will admit that I pretty much confirmed myself as a cuddle junkie. We broke up after about a year because of wanting different things for our futures but we still talk. Link to post Share on other sites
Majnun Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I've been in one long-term relationship, and I'm happy to say that my ex and I are still really good friends. ^_^ Link to post Share on other sites
Samael Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Never, ever. I have always wanted a relationship until 2 years ago.. but now those feelings of wanting a relationship are somewhat returning. All my friends have been paired up again and again, and I was the only girl in my circle of friends that wasn't asked out. :/ It kinda makes me feel unwanted sometimes?.. Ah, I wish I was aromantic! Then I wouldn't be all mopey about this kind of stuff! xD I've met all sorts of people in my travels. When I was younger, my circle of friends consisted of people for whom sex and relationships were essential. No doubt they've had their share of experiences with those things by now. When I grew older, I started associating with different people. Most of my friends today are aged 25-40, and only a handful of them have experience with relationships. Even though we might not share the same sexual and/or romantic orientations, we still value other things, such as work and hobbies, over sex and relationships which works as a common nominator for us. I'm aromantic, and I'm glad that I am. Reading the posts of those who are not makes me feel lucky, since then in my solitude I don't have to suffer from a lack of relationship. You can't consciously change your orientations, so I hope that anyone who is romantically inclined would find the partner that they are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites
RainyStars Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Honestly, I've never been in a relationship. Most of the time I don't really think about it. But when I see couples everywhere it gets uncomfortable. All of the people making out in public disgusts me. I've never really been interested in kissing someone. So, I really don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewsarchus Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I answered no, not by any stretch of the word. I have had a few men who I have had bad crushes on but in every case I couldn't have picked a worse guy to fall for. None were interested in me at all (you would have thought that I had leprosy, though considering the last one he had a good reason not to be interested in me as he was gay; still, I wish he would have told me before I wasted half a year of my life coming onto him ) and the other three I simply lost interest in for various reasons (in addition to them not being interested in me, though one was more than willing to have me as a sex partner, but he wasn't interested in me for a relationship). I have had a couple of men have the hots for me, but sadly (for them, and also for me), I simply had no romantic interest in them at all. I swear it really makes me wonder how most people manage to A: find someone they are attracted to, and B: have that same person be attracted to them. I have had various combos of either A or B but never together, which is normally necessary for a relationship to even start out. Link to post Share on other sites
Chopper Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Never...I'm too shy to approach a girl I like and am too stupid to notice when one likes me Link to post Share on other sites
Asexy Existentialist Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Once past tense, once present tense. I don't know how; they seem silly from an objective view. Link to post Share on other sites
Harkins Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Once. I was 18 and honestly if I had a time machine I'd go back and smack myself in the forehead. I was still convinced I was just naive or inexperienced and that my sexuality would flip on like a switch. 4 months in and that metaphorical switch never budged. He cheated on me over winter break because I wouldn't have sex with him. I should have been sad, but I was just relieved, I finally had a reason to end our failing relationship. I went out and bought a whole sheet cake the celebrate with my friends :lol:. I'm willing to try again in the future now that I know I'm asexual, but my own personal life goals tend to make me too selfish to compromise with anyone else's goals. I think it's my prerogative to be a little selfish at 22 though. Link to post Share on other sites
TheAceOfHearts Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Once. I was convinced I was in a phase and hoped that all of a sudden Id be like my friends, but no. No feelings at all. He wanted me to kiss him... I told him to wait, he didnt want it so was forcing me. I avoided him, he cheated on me and I was actually happy! :) Feel much better now! Although he still likes me :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Nekomata Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I've been in two - my first one was another girl online who lived in Finland (never met her) and the second time is the one I'm in now ^^ kinda on-off for the past 2 1/2 years >.< Link to post Share on other sites
Ashkaa Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 One sort of. I agreed to date him, but we never went on a date. We hung out together with friends as a couple but we never did anything more than hold hands. He wanted to do more but I wouldn't let him. I realized I was not interested in him the way he was in me so I explained to him the best I could and broke it off with him. I have refused to date anyone since. Link to post Share on other sites
