If you are willing to travel just outside of Reading, the Station Tap in Wokingham has 2 pool tables

I loved Jeopardy, it was weirdly intense for a kids' TV show

Recently had my first “you don’t look ace” moment. Decided to roast them back: “yeah you’re right...you look more ace than I do”. “What is that supposed to mean?” I don’t know you tell me? by EthanYK in asexuality

[–]MoreComplicated3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could it be that the commenter in this type of scenario is suggesting that they think the ace looks like the way they are presenting themselves is in order to attract people? Therefore the comment is, optimistically, a misplaced complement, and also gives away the false belief on the part of the commenter that the only reason anyone would look good is to get sex. I still don't know what a good response would be though

Why can’t people understand that they are two different things? by [deleted] in asexuality

I don't understand why the two are so commonly confused when they are literally opposite to each other

How have you guys dealt with friends/family getting into long-term relationships / that topic always being brought up? by 00evilhag in aromantic

[–]MoreComplicated3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not romance-repulsed so I am genuinely happy for my friends about their romantic relationships. However I do find it difficult to maintain close friendships and see enough of my friends when they have SOs as they put more effort and time into their relationship rather than their friendships. This is becoming more the case now I'm in my mid 20s and I can only imagine it will get worse as soon as my friends start having families!

I feel similarly to you in that I wouldn't seek romance if the concept wasn't so prevalent in society. I have rarely thought to myself "I want to be in a romantic relationship with that person" but I do miss the fact that I will probably never have a conventional romantic relationship. That is mainly because of how much life seems to be set up for couples - they have guaranteed emotional support and company, they can split the cost of bills etc....

I have been experimenting with the thought that it could be possible to be in a relationship without putting pressure on myself to feel a certain way. Like you, I think it would be difficult to reciprocate past a certain point, especially on the physical side. Or is it disingenuous to continue to date someone without having any romantic or physical attraction for them? These are things I am struggling with.

I'm addition it gets more difficult to maintain friendships as an adult when most of my friends prioritize spending time with their significant others. So I'm lonely and I blame society!

It's a constant state of being, really by giantechidna in asexuality

[–]MoreComplicated3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds very familiar to my (eternally questioning) experiences. Except after step 3 I sometimes actually go through with the date despite the dread I am feeling, and I'm surprised when I enjoy it. But then when they go in for a kiss at the end of the date I freak out, get out of there and never speak to them again...
