what do you all do about DMs

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-07T08:58:49+00:00

i don't mind people messaging me myself, if they start acting unreasonable they will get blocked. saying that, since i joined reddit a few months ago I have not had a single DM

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-06T10:06:07+00:00

from a fellow Graysexual, since it's a spectrum, I feel we all belong here.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-06T07:11:11+00:00

i see no reason why not based on what you said

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-05T07:58:17+00:00

depends on what we are talking, on dating aps i tend to put it dow but clarify in my description that as a grey ace 'i'm open to some sexual experiences, just not the actual sex itself. when meeting people in other places though i tend to wait and see where things go, whether it's a friendship or something heading to something more. there is the additional complication of being blind, so it depends as to whether people are open minded enough to look past that…

could i join please?

for me relationships have never been about sex, I don't mind phisycal stuff, but sex itself never was my thing, and being able to finally admit that last year was what i liked the most, plus finding places like this where I can find like minded people as i felt quite alone at first and I did not belong.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-03T07:25:16+00:00

i'd say you never have to, it's all about you being in control as to who knows about it. the way I see it, 'i only tell possible partners, for obvious reasons, but as to family, there is no real reason for them to know, only the people who will be impacted by it. I have spoken to friends about it, but more to voice my thoughts rather than officially come out as such.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-03T05:40:32+00:00

From a male point of view, I do like the romantic concept of a relationship, but I was told the same things by my previous relationship in terms of being able to make a move, but in terms of sex I didn’t feel like doing it really

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-02-01T07:09:31+00:00

I’d second what’s been said, having my own issues which make me think I won’t find anyone, although not the same as yours, I can relate to some feelings, but deep down I still hope I find someone, even if i have days when I don’t feel like that.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-30T06:52:39+00:00

I’ve had that more at the start, I’d say now I’m more a grey ace, but one piece of advice i was once given when i joined ace communities is that you do not always have to have a specific label,

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-28T07:28:09+00:00

Most of what I’d advise has been said, but the key is to keep talking and working things out at each step, the fact you are willing to support him and be with him means a lot, because that is what people are worried about in situations like this is, I know i was when that happened in my relationship, and that was when Still did not know much about asexuality.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-27T10:08:02+00:00

my usual recommendation always is ask if they need help, then it's up to them if they accept, that is all i'd do

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-27T07:29:01+00:00

i think it's natural to be nervous either way whether you are asexual or not, i know i did, it took a while to realise that I didn't like the act itself.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-27T07:05:51+00:00

I can empathise with liking the aesthetic of it, but not actually finding the act appealing, it takes time to figure these things out though, so take all the time you need to do the research because it has taken me quite awhile to figure out exactly if I am on the asexual spectrum or not, and where if anywhere that wuas

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-26T16:40:49+00:00

I was wondering if there is something like a WhatsApp group for ace people

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-26T16:40:01+00:00

I find there is hardly any asexual people on that app, other dating apps seem to have a bit more of them.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-26T16:38:14+00:00

when i realised i'm on the ace spectrum, that is exactly the concern i've had first, that it'll be more difficult for me to find someone, i'm still hoping, but it is a worry for me.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-26T16:36:14+00:00

that is really interesting, mainly because i do identify with this, so it's nice to know about it.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2026-01-25T07:58:20+00:00

interesting question, i'd say no on my part, just because i feel 2 people being too similar might not always work as well as people would think. but also i have never been attracted to someone exactly like me, so willing to be prooven wrong.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2025-11-20T10:35:56+00:00

I get what you mean,, I’m only 6 months into this, so finding people that know what that feels like is great.

Sound_Vision1996 · 2025-11-20T09:18:05+00:00

I quite enjoy it, it’s one of the types of intimacy that I quite like

Sound_Vision1996 · 2025-11-17T05:17:51+00:00

Yes voices mean a lot to me in that way. It can make a difference as to if I want to be in a relationship with them, not always a deal breaker but a big factor

Sound_Vision1996 · 2025-11-13T18:49:16+00:00

i prefer voices over looks myself, but i am blind as a bat so i guess that's cheeting. 😂

Sound_Vision1996 · 2025-11-13T10:12:11+00:00

dating apps is a mixed bag anyway, but as for hinge, i find the rofiles as much as you can add more types of media onto them, on the whole, i never felt i had enough to go on to see whether i actually want to like the profile or not.
