So I really need to get back to writing oc sickfic asap but for now... true story time:
So this guy that I’m really good friends with who I was thinking may have ulterior motives (i. e. wanting to have sexual relations with me, who’s ace). I’ve been kind of wanting to tell him I’m ace for a while but I’m super awkward and didn’t know how without sounding presumptuous or random. But then, the other night, we got back from hanging with friends at 2 am. Then talked until 4 am (he knows I’m an insomniac, but he’s not, so I’m always shocked when we talk that late).
Anyway, at some point he goes (in the most polite way possible because that’s just how he is) “I don’t mean to pry, but do you, by any chance, see yourself as asexual?”
Um. Okay.
So I was totally caught off guard and was just like “uh, yeah, actually, I do.” Because: how did he even know about asexuality, for one? It’s a pretty under-the-radar, from what I’ve seen. As far as I know he’s straight. He’s also very religious, and not that being a straight Christian guy means you’re ignorant of LGBTQ+ by any means, but, like, it makes it less likely. And he’s a guy. Which makes it all the more surprising to me because the only people I know who know about asexuality are girls.
And then the whole other question of: how did he guess I was ace?
We had talked a bit about kissing and how I don’t really see the appeal of it, but for him (normally a very cautious person who doesn’t say what he thinks unless he’s really pretty sure he’s right) to actually go out on a limb and ask... I don’t know, do I give off strong “ace vibes” or something??? Is that a thing?
Anyway. Sorry for the huge block of text that is not sickfic or related to this blog at all, really. I just needed to tell people somewhere. I’m actually really happy, because now I know he doesn’t have those ulterior motives. It’s just not something I ever expected to happen.
