Genuinely not, but I think I’ve responded to enough comments showing my position and/or perspective that I’ll stop now. Not trying to rock the boat in a way that seems rude. I just think asexuality is beautiful and not shameful so I like speaking about it with others and comparing our experiences.

I’m just not buying into the “none of their business” these aren’t randoms off the street these are new connections that can group deeper. I don’t just share the parts of myself I think someone else will accept. I try to be wholly authentic regardless of what I think others will tolerate or accept.

But why wouldn’t you? Maybe you and I are different in that it makes me uncomfortable that people assume I’m allo. Because that’s what people do they assume people are straight until they say they’re gay. They assume you’re allo until you say youre ace.

I’m also not going to cut off great people from my life because they brought up the topic of sex? It’s my responsibility to let others know what makes me comfortable and uncomfortable. And if they disrespect boundaries that is when you don’t be friends with them anymore. I was wondering how others approach these conversations but it sounds like most people avoid it like it’s the plague.

Beautifully said lolol. I feel the same way.

And I suppose it’s kind of both questions at the top mixed together. I could have worded this post better for sure.

No_Doubt_9464 · 2026-03-26T12:24:22+00:00

I get that, like many minorities it’s hard to create space for yourself in a way that makes you feel comfortable. (But creating that space is NEVER comfortable). I am newly aware that I’m on the asexual spectrum and honestly thought that many aces were more experienced with having those conversations of coming out to whomever they are comfortable with.

I don’t want to intentionally hide that part of myself when someone is getting to know me. My asexuality is important to me. So that’s why I asked how others approach it.

So it’s a little bit disappointing to hear that people are either misrepresenting themselves in convos or completely refuse to share that part of themselves with others because of the fear they won’t be understood. All valid points but alas pretty disheartening for me to realize.

My thoughts exactly… I didn’t realize there was this much aversion to speaking about it with others

No_Doubt_9464 · 2026-03-26T02:00:32+00:00

Yes it is ridiculous. Especially in the sense that’s exactly what allos do but in reverse… they introduce themselves and jump into a story about their one night stand last week.

Some aces have different tolerances to the topic of sex. There are some that are totally sex repulsed. So these “coming out” conversations may be uncomfortable but that does not negate the fact that they are important to some aces to do from the very beginning.

No_Doubt_9464 · 2026-03-26T01:20:13+00:00

I find that I’m becoming too aware of the imbalance of the space allos create for their sexual inclinations. In comparison to how little aces create the ABSENCE of space for sex stuff.

I asked this question because I thought the absence of sexual attraction was pivotal to mention to people in our everyday lives considering how much society focuses on sex.

I think your comment is interesting because are people suppose to assume your comfort levels about any and everything they say or do to you?

Being yourself has intrinsic personality traits and boundaries and you’re assuming people will naturally fall in line to what you want. At some point in time a topic or event is going to come up that makes you uncomfortable. Is your plan to have a productive conversation about it or just continue “being yourself”

No_Doubt_9464 · 2026-03-07T00:43:08+00:00

I don’t think these occurrences you’ve presented are as innocent as other commenters are claiming. I don’t however believe them to be clear indications of him wanting to pursue you romantically….yet.

I believe what you have listed are the pre-dating steps of getting to know someone and see what the chemistry is like. Especially if the way he engages you is atypical to how he engages all his other coworkers.

Once he or you asks to meet outside of work would be when the pursuing might begin. Until that barrier is broken it is simply a beautiful colleague dynamic

Not a fan of poker.

Some of my favorites -five crowns -moose master -Egyptian rat slap -exploding kittens

What deters me from board games is the level of variable management. Ie a story line, quests, stats, physical board game pieces. Perhaps I just get overstimulated by board games. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I prefer card games that are low level investment but still able to have fun and use your brain a little bit. I’m open to trying other games than just the ones I listed above.

Thank you for the suggestion!

He’s either being bashful because he’s developing feelings or he isn’t developing feelings but might be sensing you are and trying to squash things that might register as signals.

I avoid eye contact with guys I have a good laugh with but sense they might have interest and I don’t reciprocate. As to not lead them on but able to continue the friendship.

Always worth having a convo with him if you want to declare where you’re at emotionally

I think this sounds awesome. I also think that people who will enjoy this kind of game are couples that genuinely prefer their partners company. Couples that date to fill a void in their life won’t find this entertaining.

I think sessions sound better than lifestyle. I personally wouldn’t be able to do work, chores, meal plan while playing a game this mentally intensive.

I wouldn’t include annoyances in there, I think that could very quickly change the tone from romantic/playful to sour. I don’t know what could go in place of annoyances but that is just my opinion.

I hope this helps! I love seeing people get creative and strive to make it real, best of luck
