Jamie Marie Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Greetings! I am brand new to this site and still learning my way around. I thought I would introduce myself briefly and say hello. I'm a 40 year old single mom to a 15 year old and to three cats and a dog. I'm independent, lonely, and no longer confused. I've always known I was "different" but I never knew how to categorize myself. I've spent most of my life trying to fit in to the social norms of relationships, willing to go against my orientation in an effort to find a meaningful, long-lasting relationship. I am so grateful to have found this site, to have finally come to learn the term asexual (still learning all the sub terms and trying to find out where I fit in) and to know I'm not alone. I am no longer willing to compromise myself and hope to make many friends here. It is such a relief to know that there's people here who I can be honest, intimate friends with and none of you want to have sex with me! I eventually hope to find other asexual people in my area who I can meet up with and have coffee, long conversations, and alleviate this isolation. Hope everyone has had a great day one of the new year. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a great feeling not to have to pretend to follow the social norms just because everyone else is doing it. Have a beautiful day and a beautiful New Year as well. Link to post Share on other sites
