I think I'm demiromantic. I used to think I was alloromantic until I met my partner and what I felt for them felt so different from all the other feelings I thought were crushes. It's so hard to figure out though because most "figuring out your orientation" resources are targeted towards people who are dating/in new relationships and not towards people in long-term, especially monogamous relationships because that way it's hard to even properly remember anything before, especially if none of it ever ended up in a relationship. The more time passes the harder it is to remember, the less I can try and even remotely compare other feelings to how I feel about my partner, the more I doubt my experience, the less confidently I can say that I'm aromantic or alloromantic. How do you all figure this out like? I don't understand love at first sight or enemies to lovers, I feel alienated from a lot of conventional ideas of romance (but I'm also ace, enby, childfree and maybe bi). I don't know anymore. I hate questioning.

Im going to add some ace/biace tags in here, because it crosses over and those folks may be able to offer advice, too!

So I started dating another Ace. I found them on one of those Asexual dating websites ✌️

Thing is, we're only 4 months in, and I've discovered I love hand holding, love a very thorough cuddle in bed, and even like the feeling in the middle of the night of his hard dick pulsing lol, even gave explicit invitation for some boob touching.

But kissing, now! Wow do I get fucking shy. And so I've discovered my level of intimacy has Kissing at the top (so far) I think it may be my 'sex'. I can't get passed a quick peck on the lips. I just can't cause gawd I might combust. I've said he'll need to initiate if he wants to be more intimate because I'm so shy. And he's the experienced one. And he's been perfectly patent and slow, but still.

I'm discovering how I view intimacy and what my own levels are. Thought I'd share.

Sometimes I feel a little terrified about being ace. My family and closest friends know but I just can’t seem to bring myself to tell anyone else. I think I’m just terrified people will just completely dismiss it or just not understand. Like I don’t feel I deserve to attend Pride because I’m ace, if I did then it would be because I’m biromantic. And then I get anxious about bringing it up which in turn makes me even more anxious about what it means for any potential relationship because I honestly have no clue what I feel about sex - I can’t picture myself ever doing it and then the thought kind of freaks me out a little.

How do you even bring it up in a casual conversation? Especially with someone you’ve been on dates with - how do you drop that kind of bombshell?
