Decaf Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 After what must be the better part of 15 years wearing an ace flag badge and a black ring, someone finally approached me a few days ago and asked if the badge meant I was asexual.The person in question was a young chap who works in a coffee shop....and beyond all coincidence, I was buying a cake at the time! lol.Oh well, I hope it isn't another 15 years before I meet a 2nd real-life ace.

Skycaptain Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yays for that Unfortunately I suspect that many self-identified asexuals are unaware of the symbology Link to post Share on other sites
ninimusic Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That's great! It's a fantasy of mine: walk into a café, randomly meet an asexual and become the best of friends ^_^ Link to post Share on other sites
Decaf Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks, everyone.It was quite an amazing feeling after so many years of wondering if it would ever happen.I do hope we'll become friends. Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthy Potato Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Nobody as has asked me about being ACE yet, though they assumed that the black ring meant "swinger"...oh my, no lol...the explaination for the finger designation was met with confusion ....i war the ring for myself but I would also embrace someone recognizing my ring as my ACE ring and talking about it if they want. Now I"m craving cake lol Link to post Share on other sites
Glyn Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I've got the ace flag on my bank card. Someone at the bank has asked about it, but they've not connected it with being anything to do with asexuality before asking. I also have a black ring too. Personally, it'll be awesome if someone in my life recognised both for what they are - thier connections with asexuality! Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyRocket Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I wear the black ring and no one has ever asked what it meant!!! Link to post Share on other sites
UncommonNonsense Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I wear the black ring too. And no one has ever twigged to it's meaning. But I wear a lot of rings. 9 of them. So the plain black one kind of blends in. It doesn't surprise me that it doesn't get noticed. Still, I have an ace flag button on my jacket and one on my computer bag, I wear a friendship bracelet in ace colours, I have boondoggle/gimp zipper charm ace flags on most of the zippers of my jacket and winter coat, and I have an ace flag sticker on my car, so I'm not exactly flying under the radar. And still nada. Oh well. Maybe someday, Link to post Share on other sites
mechanicalsunshine Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I've only ever met one other ace person, but it was so funny how it'd happen, cus they were like trying so hard to low key figure me out. Like our friend was talking to a guy and they were like "so that guy... do you think he's cute?" "Uhm I dunno, I can't really see him from here" "Oh but like do you think he's- like would you- like are attracted to him, like are yo- would y-, who are you sexually attracted to?" "Uh I'm ace...." "ME TOO" And then we hugged and shit, and I dunno, I really think it was the best way to meet another ace person for the first time :P Link to post Share on other sites
