@WheresMySquishy  Hi I am very excited about this thread. I am also asexual and I believe also Aromantic although that one is a little harder for me to be sure about. I have had the whole “who are you attracted to? / when are you going to start dating?” Bunch of questions and they suck. I remember once in high school my friends were relentlessly pestering me about who I had a crush on and would not give up and when I said nobody they said I was lying so I ended up saying this one guys name just to get them to stop it was very uncomfortable. When I have told people I am asexual it is usually followed by either “what is that” or “that is weird” and when I tell people I have never ever had a crush they usually seem very shocked or surprised like it is impossible to never have had one. 

I really wish that is was something that was more talked about because then I may not have spent so long wondering why I was different and not knowing why I didn’t fit any of the usual list of sexualities they tell you about. I am a lot more comfortable with it now and while I don’t advertise my sexuality I don’t hide it either.
