Dating While Asexual

fuckyeahasexual:

We’ve recently received an influx of asks for asexual dating advice, and it came to my attention that there’s not many how-tos on tackling the dating world as an asexual. There exists a couple of ‘how to date an asexual’ posts, but as far as we know, there’s not a lot of posts intended for the opposite party.

This is by no means a conclusive list of how-tos. Ideally, there should exist multiple resources for aces to consult. Sadly, that’s not the case. But my addition will contribute to what I hope will become a more helpful, more inclusive asexual resource world.

(Disclaimer; I’ve only been dating while openly asexual for about eight months. I’ve dated beforehand, but I identified as bisexual at the time. However, I’ve gathered up a few tips and tricks that I think could help those in need of some asexual guidance. If you have any questions, feel free to hit up fuckyeahasexual’s ask box. Or, if you want lesser ask traffic, you can hop over to my personal, millenniumfae.)

So, you wanna date while asexual! Good for you! No, seriously. It’s a brave decision, and one not lightly made. But maybe you’ve got a couple nagging doubts. Maybe you’ve never done this before. Maybe you wonder if you’ll ever be accepted for who you are. Maybe you worry about keeping yourself safe. These are all totally legit concerns, and you can address them.
