Wanting love and a relationship, when you don’t want sex. is it possible?

[IsThereAnEchoInHere]

I think it’s a no. At least going from my experience.
I’m a romantic fool and always wanted a life partner, I’ve been single all my life, but never learn to be very good at it.
Although I’m not sure loneliness is something you can ever get used to.
Well anyway, learned young and pretty fast tgat everyone just wanted sex.
Lost my hope in live even being real for awhile, and also thought that let them get the sex out of their system - I can wait and then focus on things that actually matter.
Well, older I and we all got, but they still demand sex.
I’m probably on my last moments of trying to find someone and it’s just not looking good.
Is it possible to find a partner if you can’t have sex?
It just seems so unfair.

I do think it's amazing how comments can get so twisted on the internet. no wonder everyone thinks everyone else is out to get them. let's all make a pact and maybe spend more time IRL having real conversations and less time on the internet!

anyhow really wish you well OP.

Slowly, yes.
And I do not want to regret of not trying.

And this I’ll be holding my head a little bit higher than I did before.
Back then I was more nervous saying that sex wasn’t going to happen, but this time, I’ll think I’ll use/say I’m asexual.
Not that whole lot changed, but I’ll have an actual thing to back me up a little bit.

Thank you for the comment @Parisj

Wouldn’t saying I’m looking for friendships be either leading people on (if I actually start to like them romantically) or jinx my search for an actual partner if people think I only wants friends?

Of course I’m not going to drop all the personal info about me / what I’m looking for, but….

And I was answering to a question of what romantic date would look like to me.
I’d love to talk about socks and what to have for dinner 😀👍🏻!

Matter of a opinion and taste. And that's totally fine.

Good luck. I hope you find your ever after

Thanks for this particular part.

Have you ever been in love @IsThereAnEchoInHere

OP, I don't think it's 'just' that you're asexual, which in itself limits your pool of potential partners severely. It's that you're asexual in a small town in a small country which doesn't afford the chance to encounter a wide variety of people (and are unwilling to move without a relationship to move for), you have had no relationship experience at all, and (forgive me if this seems blunt), your responses on here seem both terribly naive (I mean about friendships as well as romantic relationships), and at times quite touchy and resentful.

I do not, let me emphasise, think there are is anything at all wrong with being asexual, and I absolutely wish you the best in finding someone, but I think that if you really, really want a relationship on the terms you want and need, you are going to have to act in order to get it. It's not going to come to you. You will need to consider moving to somewhere bigger/abroad in order to meet a bigger pool of people, dating via asexual OLD websites, if such exist etc, and basically to find a way of putting yourself out there as much as possible.

And I'm not unsympathetic to your thinking that it's all 'unfair', but when you are a minority sexuality, you are always going to have to work much harder than the rest of the population. Gay people would have felt similar until the very recent past, and many still do in small places. My gay godson moved internationally from his small hometown to Brighton a couple of years back to be able to explore relationships more freely, which was a huge deal for him.

Yes, I have been.

Glad to hear this 😊I guess you have had your heart broken though, if so, that's not so good.

How has your week been @IsThereAnEchoInHere ?
