I'm asexual and partners always think I'll change my mind about sex:
to know these nitty-gritty details, like where I fell on the spectrum; but at least I figured they’d get the basic idea that I wasn’t interested in sex.The first person I matched with online was super sweet and we really hit it off. I was completely upfront with her. It’s always awkward to start awith, “Hi, just as a heads up, I’m not interested in sex so if that’s a problem I don’t want to waste your time.
It was after those painstaking few months that I met Reid.* I had a feeling we would get along as soon as I saw his pictures and read his corny pickup lines. We seemed to have the same witty, cynical sense of humor. I broke the news that I was ace by playing two truths and a lie. Like most people, he thought the lie was that I was asexual. In the past, my asexuality seemed to be my only characteristic, the one thing people couldn’t stop talking about.
Looking back at it now, there’s not much more I could have done. I was clear and upfront about my asexuality. The last thing I would want is to lead someone on. I wasn’t trying to ruin anyone’s life, I was trying to live my truth.
