Curi Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I too, want other ace/aro friends. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claire1983 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Put a cake inside a summoning circle and chant the incantation! J/K I don't really know. I guess you could see if anyone on here lives near you. Beyond that, I have no idea. I got lucky and I already have a couple, which is how I learned about it and started to question if I might be ace too. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Claire1983 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 @Minimintymintea I recommend a sheet cake. It's easier to cut and serve than a layer cake. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Minimintymintea Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Okay I'll try it. But I might just end up eating the cake alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The easy part is that asexuals can't resist a good cake. The hard part is, being asexual, you can't resist a good cake. What do? On a more serious note, it would be awesome to meet another asexual in person, but I do feel you, it doesn't seem there are very many of us. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mia71 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I so relate to this! <3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisiebob Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 you could try wearing an ace ring, but that might be just as successful as cake summoning 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mezzo Forte Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 That's the joy of invisibility I suppose. I've been living in the same community for ~7 years, and it wasn't until ~2 years ago when I started visibly transitioning that all of a sudden, people started coming out to me left and right. Turned out that several people in my daily life just happened to be ace/ace-spectrum, but there was never a reason to bring it up. The more visible I am about any of my LGBT+ identities, the more people end up reaching out to me and sharing their own identities. I don't talk about my orientation much, but coming out as trans led to a lot of questions about my sexuality, which led to finding fellow aces. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aistar Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good question. I think it often happens randomly and so older you get so easier you can detect it. Found out that one of my coworkers is ace, but we don't talk much to each other. One of my best friends is ace as well, but she lives too far away. Wearing (good visible)an ace symbol/flag item might help too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wavewall Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Some of my friends who are involved in the LGBT+ community introduced me to other asexuals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curi Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have yet to meet any ace/aro people in person, with or wothout the ring on. I wish there were more local meet ups or something 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Web Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 You may already know an ace, are you open about your sexuality with your friends? The other day I was talking to my friends about how I was trying to find a romantic relationship but it's hard since I'm ace. One of them ended up commiserating with me because she's ace too. Sometimes they're hidden in plain sight! If you don't find any or if you don't feel comfortable telling you're friends you're not out of luck! You can go to local LGBT+ groups, if you're in school check to see if there's a club. Maybe be open to online friends, there's a whole community of us here on AVEN right? Use that to your advantage! Maybe get a pin of the ace flag to put on a bag that you use often, people will notice and it can start a conversation! Good luck! :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
