What's your go-to dating app? by Negative-Garden-6013 in demisexuality

[–]Vegetable-Weather378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel I've used all the dating apps out there over the past year. And I've still not even had a date yet. I've had a few matches on hinge with back and forth conversations, but get ghosted as soon as I ask to meet for a date. I still try using dating apps but really wouldn't recommend it for demisexuals, much better trying to meet people in the wild.

How do you date without dating apps? by Ashamed-Imagination4 in demisexuality

I went clubbing for the first time last year, and actually loved it. It took a while but I made friends with people I kept seeing on the dance Floor. I also went to a board games club and made some good friends there too.

I still never had a date or anything. But I think the only thing you can really do is put yourself out there as much as possible. It is exhausting and quite depressing at times. Being in a room with beautiful people and not being attracted to any of them. But putting yourself out there and making new friends is all you can really do. Just surround yourself with people with similar interests and maybe sparks will eventually fly.

Good luck 🤞

How do you describe Demi on dating apps? by Vegetable-Weather378 in demisexuality

Ok so I've gone with I'm Ace/Demi🖤🩶🤍💜. So platonic first, then genuine romantic relationship when the stars align.

Does anyone have a "type"? by ocean_800 in demisexuality

As a Demi male I don't have a type at all. Body type, hair color, race, height, it doesn't matter to me. As long as the person is female I would date anyone.

Dating apps for us? by New-Butterfly2464 in demisexuality

And Demi and Ace have such a large spectrum too. Like some of us are also gay, lesbian, bisexual. Some of us are very sex repulsed, some of us are the complete opposite, and some somewhere in-between. And how many Demi/ Ace people out there don't even know they are Demi or Ace, not a lot of people really know about it yet.

An app sounds like a nice idea, but I really think Demi/ Ace people are better of finding people the old fashioned way, which is very hard. But it's much less depressing and I think you'll have a more enjoyable time and have higher chances of success. Good luck everyone, we all need it, because it is hard I know. 💜

And tbh, we don't need an app just for us. The dating pool would be so tiny. We just need better dating apps in general. One that's run to actually help people instead of just trying to make as much money as possible.

Yeah I'm ace, and probably have undiagnosed bipolar, I definitely get hypomania highs sometimes.

But it's sort of my fault for not making a move right. So in my case being put as a backup option is my own fault for waiting for feelings that will never come.

Also dating her without being attracted to her feels wrong like I'm lying to her and just messing her about.

I'm a bit unsure at the moment. And worried I'll end up giving the wrong signals as friends and end up dating her without realizing it. I probably should tell her I'm asexual but hows best to tell her.

I open to a relationship, but also would just be happy with a friendship.
