teatree Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Sorry, meant to say thanks for the warm welcomes earlier.... Time does get away, doesn't it? I've been slowly checking out the site but mostly have been reading posts in this "Oldies" forum. (I feel somehow safer here, though that might sound odd.) Autumn Sunrise: I like your quote about a large enough cup of tea, but would add "hot enough" as well! I hate going out for tea and the water is bordering on barely warm enough.... Grrrr. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi Molly, I don't know if you will return here but in case you do, I have sent you a pm. I'm in the UK and happy to chat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Seawitch Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I typed this before. It was long but beautifully written and then... the laptop glitched and my backspace made me lose my progress. So here is the abbreviated version. My name is Matt. Four months from tomorrow I'll be 27. Winter storm Jonas did a number here and today was also my surgery. Nothing too major. Umbilical hernia repair. Today is Day #1 of 18 that I'm off work. If you need someone to talk to, a new friend or maybe a shoulder to lean on. Here I am. I'm going to have lots of time on my hands lol. On my profile is ways to reach me outside of here just in case you wish to: Tumblr, Wordpress, Kik, Snap Chat, Instagram, etc. I am asexual. I might lean more toward homoromantic but I consider myself biromantic over all. I've identified as asexual for over four years now. I don't get much into the politics. It gets too complicated and touchy for me. I don't like arguing. I just wish us who are asexual could embrace each other on higher levels. I wish we were more prevalent. So my beautiful post had a long paragraph 'about me' but... here's a list of some things I like so you can see if you think we might have anything in common. -Hulu -Netflix -Most film -Most television -Comics (Marvel fan // X-men more specifically) -Writing -Reading stories/articles -Pizza -Cats -Cooking/Baking -Probably anything Shonda Rhimes creates -Instagram (my favorite social media) -Anything Maggie Smith related -Musicals -Most music... I'll give anything a try -Even the silly adult cartoons -Horror -Dark things -Chatting -Being thoughtful -Doodling -Getting to know new people -Online Quizzes lol -American Horror Story!!! (and all other Ryan Murphy creations lol) -So much more! ... get to know me!! Age doesn't matter. Location doesn't matter. I can't make myself enjoy a dull conversation... ...but... I am always down to converse with someone who is down to converse with me :) Like I said. I have a lot of time on my hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Seawitch Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wasn't trying to deter anyone from here but just saying for those moments when it's dead on here and you're stuck waiting for activity or maybe they need someone or someone through out the day to talk to... I have plenty of time and would love to make the best of my hours I have to waste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apathetic In Auburn Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I finally watched (A)sexual on Hulu. It sure did resonate. When I have a chance to gather my thoughts, I have a long list of reasons why I might be here but it's good to know I'm not crazy! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Springvale_David Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Hi from David in (Australia). Happy to be in (contact) if you so wish. No issues here. No seeking . . . ? What ever.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to attend an ace meet up; they happen regularly in Sydney and Melbourne, and from time to time in Brisbane, Newcastle and the Blue Mountains (NSW).

Purple Kitty Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This is all totally new to me!In a nutshell - I am now in my late 40's and I have always known there was something different about me. It took two marriages, three difficult relationships and a lot of suicidal thoughts to get here. I have been aware of Asexuality for a few years but never really explored in any depth. It was only in the last few months, after yet another relationship was deteriorating, I was researching a new supposed wonder drug for females that have no desire that I came across a link to AVEN. Finally I feel OK about me! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whimsical_dragon Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I am in my early 50's. I have a panromantic gray/asexual trans daughter and in researching what exactly this meant, I feel I personally identify as ace but since I only came to this realization a few hours ago, I want to let it settle before I fully claim it. ;) I am at least demi/gray. I also have a pansexual panromantic cis daughter in a same-sex marriage, and a probable ace cis son (he's questioning), so I guess it runs in the family. ;) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
