Search Results: i am asexual

Ugh I’m such a negative mess. Do you know deep down when you’ll end up alone? I’m going to be 27 this year and never had success with the dating apps. I was on and off for years but it just doesn’t work. I was skinnier and still didn’t get much attention from the apps. I NEVER get approached in person and don’t have friends that can introduce me to guys. It just stings every time as a yr passes by and I’m perpetually single.

I just can’t find a guy I want to date. But part of me is kind of on the “asexual” side. I know I’m not asexual but I have a very low sex drive. I haven’t had sex in three years but I think the right person would probably change that. My mom and people also say I haven’t found the right person.

It’s like I am terrified of ending up alone but don’t know if I’m okay with being sexual with a man…make sense?

I've heard a lot of debate on this subject, and would love to hear individual opinions.

As for me, I'm asexual and so it's never been an issue for me to see people in a strictly platonic way. I've had a few close platonic friendships with men over the years, most staying just that (including a current one of 20 years), but one ending when the friend developed feelings and wanted something more, which I unfortunately couldn't give him.

For you, personally, do you find that you usually develop an attraction and cannot keep the friendship platonic, does it happen but only sometimes, or do you very rarely if ever feel any way but platonic about your opposite sex friends? Are you open to making opposite sex friends, or do you mostly avoid it?
