DD is quite young for her age. She's never had a boyfriend, or shown any interest in going out, drinking, etc - not that this is a bad thing, just aware that most kids her age do do this stuff and she has been left behind a little by her friends.
She told me recently that she has never fancied a boy. That there have been a few boys in her class who she's found attractive but felt no more than that. That she sees her friends having crushes on/relationships with boys and can't empathise as she's never felt like that. I asked if she was interested in girls and she said definitely not - she is v open with me and knows I would be supportive so I believe her.
Just wondered if anyone else has experience of this? She is very worried she will never have romantic feelings and says she really wants to but just feels nothing. I told her she's still very young and just hasn't met the right boy to spark her interest - but you do get some people that are asexual.... It's making her quite sad so any thoughts or advice appreciated.
