Lollypop61 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hi there. I am new to this site and have no idea how to navigate to anything. I am also new to the realization that I am asexual. I am 62, and I want a relationship that is loving and close, but I hate sex. It almost makes me physically sick. I just watched Coming Out Colton and saw how helpful it was for him to find his LGBTQ community. I started crying because I knew that is what I want but I didn't think they existed. So now I'm here and I'm confused and I want to meet other aces where I live. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lollypop61 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 It isn't letting me open anything and now an error message pops up saying the site can't be reached. I think I will go to bed (why am I up at almost 1 am?!) and try again tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curious Crow Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hello and welcome, @Lollypop61🍰✨😊 I agree - getting to read about relatable experiences, warm and supportive responses and just feeling a sense of acceptance - is very comforting. Has been that way for me; and I hope you find that sense of community here too 🌻🍀 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 @Lollypop61 Hello. Welcome! Thank you, for sharing that. If it helps, AVEN has a Meetup Mart forum, if you're interested in trying to find other aces in your area. In addition to what I mentioned, here, in your status update (if you're having tech issues on the site), I thought I'd help mention that I, also, have a few links in my signature (at the bottom of my posts) that have some information to help members navigate the site. I hope this helps! [a pic of a two-tiered Strawberry cake (topped with a few strawberries in the center) on a glass cake stand. A piece has, already, been cut and placed on a gold-trimmed plate.] 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AVEN skews really young (every time someone posts about worrying about their SAT scores, I feel ancient). However, it is a good community and I think the young ones have a lot to teach us. There are some older people too. Try the Older Asexuals forum. It sounds we have some interests in common. If you would like to send me a private message just to talk, I would welcome that. If you don't feel comfortable with that yet, that is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
