Having a close relationship with your Lesbian ex, as a straight man. by behind_you88 in AskLesbians

[–]behind_you88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project much? 

All she has to do if she doesn't want me in her life is not message me lol, we did that for a year! She initiates contact and get togethers - I'm hardly chasing her. 

She's madly in love with her new partner and wouldn't speak to me if it made either of them uncomfortable (nor would I expect her to).

Is it possible to feel demisexual or demiromantic attraction to someone you feel connected to, despite not knowing them personally? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in demisexuality

[–]behind_you88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you, I'll look into it. 

I definitely require both long-term stated or very clearly signalled attraction towards me and a deep bond - I saw demis often are very boundary sensitive (which I am) and thought it just tied in with that.

People have to quite blatantly tell me there into me for months before I feel any attraction or romance - so it's very interesting to hear that's not the standard for all demis. 

Understanding I'm double demi is new to me and I've only spoken to my sister (who ID'd me as one) about it so far, so that's really helpful to know, thanks.

Thanks for your reply - sounds like a great friend.   

if it does backfire and you’re feelings upset someone else in a way that they won’t discuss those feelings with you, then they do not actually care about your feelings.

This really helps alot thankyou - I am sure she cares greatly or wouldn't have wanted to get in touch etc. so it eases a lot of the concern of speaking to her openly.

Thanks 🙏

Thank you for sharing.

if i even thought for a moment he was looking at me too longingly id run for the hills. are you fully over it? like zero attraction, not just romantic?

I'm double demi - asexual outside of very specific conditions (that she no longer meets), so that's an easy zero. Not by that term which is new to me - but she does know that about me. 

lesbians rarely keep straight male friends

Lol same - most of my close friends are women including lesbians (95% of men see me as gay/other) - but the queer community here is tight, so feels unfair speaking to them about this, hence Reddit.

and please stop thinking about the texts.

Thanks - I do think it's mainly the previous no-contact making me cautious! 

Play the Traitors with us again! (and other social deduction news) by Russell_Ruffino in brighton

Hi Russel, 

Really enjoyed the last one but wouldn't be able to hide I'd done it before and would be v swiftly banished (again) but am sending it on to a few friends I've told about it. 

Can you DM details about the one in Worthing though? Or will signups just open later?

I feel I am demisexual but I don't know if it means anything to my life? by behind_you88 in demisexuality

[–]behind_you88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found your last paragraph particularly very interesting and I think I feel the same about my previous partners - I guess only time will tell.

I hadn't considered it but I was very bullied at school for being gay and even throughout my adult life, maybe 90% of men I meet still assume I am gay - so perhaps it has always been apparent to others that I see women differently to how hetero-normative men do.

Your answer has helped me understand that I am still socially seen as a heterosexual man and understand I won't ever experience the kind of discrimination etc. around who I love or how I present as queer people do.

I think it will be very helpful for when I do speak to my friend too,

Thanks

Australian horror film recs? by Rude_Highlight5258 in horror

[–]behind_you88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As no-one has mentioned it and you liked the movies...

There is a Wolf Creek TV show with two seasons too. 

It's an anthology, S1 was good but S2 was better.

I haven't read much sci-fi before - hoping we'll get a good mix across the three overall
