I've always wondered this. Some people have trouble with dating because they try to go for people out of their league who don't like them back. But society also tells us that we can't choose who we are attracted to. Like for example, no one makes a "choice" to be gay.
So what happens when you're only attracted to those out of their league that will never ever like them back?
Do the people with this issue still date? But when they date, they lie to their partner that they are into them? I have been on a couple of dates with someone I wasn't into before. It make me incredibly guilty and dishonest that I did not like them back.
Curious as to the experience/thoughts of others.
Apologies if this is the wrong community. I will remove on request. Thanks.
No matter who I meet, everyone prioritizes their SO or family over me. But I totally understand why they do so. I'm only a friend and I'm not at offended by this. They SHOULD prioritize these people over me.
But I just wish I also had someone who we would both equally prioritize one another above all else. A friend for life. Not one who will just fade away one day and you never see them again. Someone to spend my time with and to grow old together.
I'm not really sure why so many sexual people assume that asexuals don't need to have human interaction. It means I don't have a sexual need. It doesn't mean that I don't have a social need and a need for connection.
I would like to be different. I would like to be able to connect deeply with others. I would like to be like all of you here. But I can't.
