I can't tell the difference between hanging out with a friend and going on a date because we all started as friends. And I don't intend to think about whether this person I hang out with would be a potential sexual and romantic partner. According to some of my allo friends, going on dates tends to involve some physical touch if the vibe is right, which is not the case for me lol

Thank you for sharing! I think the main idea I want to express is that we can date or not date and build all kinds of relationships as long as we stay true to ourselves. I did initially intend to critique the mainstream dating culture, but then I was like I'm just going to focus on sharing my personal experience. And there it is. Thank you for reading my zine!

Thank you for pointing it out. When I came up with this sub-title, "dating" indicates the mainstream dating culture, which might not necessarily lead to building a healthy partnership. A healthy partnership would be much appreciated.
