So there’s this boy that I like and we’ve done several things recently that qualify as dates. So I asked if we are dating or just hanging out? He said that he would like it if we were dating but wanted to leave it up to me.
Well, I want to date him too but we had to have the “talk” first. About my ace-ness. Because I believe in being honest and upfront. If they really want a very physical relationship then that isn’t going to work for me.
Well, this led to an argument between me and my mother. She thought that I needed to wait because maybe it’s just a phase and once I start doing stuff with this boy then maybe I’ll be better.
I really like the boy, but I don’t want him to cure me. Maybe I will do physical stuff with him because it will make him happy. But that will be my choice at that time. I don’t think it will be the magical cure of my asexuality and I don’t want it to be.
