Girls my age constantly talk about guys and i just don't relate so Ifeel quite left out in society.
Idk but I've just never been attracted to any one. I don't find mateing an appealing thought either.
I Do wish to have a life partner, but not a sexual relationship. I have always pictured my self with some one, doing things together, be there for one another, snuggle on the couch, you know like supper good friends. But never doing anything sexual, honestly kissing doesn't sound fun, just uh...spitty.
I would be an emotional companion. I have never looked at a person and been like ohh I like him or her. Just like oh that person looks nice, like looking at art. Some people look good but I don't get any feelings or thoughts of sleeping with them. I'm just as averted to sleeping with a good looking person as I am an ugly dirty person. I don't want to do that with anyone
Am I A like I always thought? Or just really weird?
Do asexuals ever find partners that are OK with them being A? Or are we all destined to die alone?
Can anyone else relate? Or am I really all alone in this?

You're not alone! Though asexuality isn't super duper common, it still exists and you are most definitely not the only one. Some day you will find a person like you that you love more than anything in the world.

I've read some stuff online about asexuality form asexual people and what you're describing seems like "textbook" A. Some of them have partners. There's an A discussion community that's easy to find where you can ask questions. I know it seems weird to not particularly care about something that is such a big deal to everyone else. But you're not the only one by a long shot.

I went through a phase of thinking I was asexual for a while, what you describe does sound like you could be asexual. You definitely aren't the only one, there's more out there than you think. Apparently around 1% of the population is asexual so that's around seventy million others. Here's an asexuality website that might be helpful http://www.asexuality.org/home/ :)

You are never alone. I used to think I was asexual and I had no desire, now I do but I'm confused than ever and iffy about sex if I ever have it. It can be hard but it'll get better.

I'm not sure if you're asexual or not, 'cause to be very honest I had never thought about things like sex or kissing before I fell in love. And even so I didn't really rate the looks at all, it was only the personality that counted for me. Even now, since we broke up, I still didn't feel like "checking out" guys.

I'm not sure. Perhaps some people just have to meet that some one special before they can have feelings. I was reading about Asexuality and apparently that is also classified as a type of Asexual. Some people have none of those feelings until just the right one comes along.
Its hard to tell. I certainly haven't met any one special yet. I'm very certain if I came across a guy (or maybe girl, who knows) in my age group who cared deeply about me I would begin to feel the same about him/her. Though I cant say if that would lead me to other feelings of attraction or not as I haven't been there yet.

I thought I was asexual until I was around 14 (I think), and quite frankly I was quite happy to consider myself asexual during this time. Anyway stuff happened and I figured maybe I wasn't asexual after all. I'd constantly feel left out during conversations about boys and well anything to do with that, and even being as I've come to believe I'm infact bisexual I just don't have the interest in gawking over boys/girls, it's not something that appeals to me and I don't think it ever will.
It's not weird, it's not unnatural and it may not even be permanent. My life was a lot simpler when I thought I was asexual :P asexual people often find relationships with other asexuals and some people who aren't asexual may be willing to give up the sexual stuff too, as long as two people want the same things out of a relationship the desire to have sex becomes irrelevant.
You're far from alone, and as I've said there's absolutely nothing weird about it, I really do understand where you're coming from but in the end you are who you are, be it gay, straight, bi, pan, asexual etc, it's part of you and whatever you turn out to be there's absolutely nothing wrong with that :)

I would consider myself sort of asexual but mixed with pansexual and sapiosexual,but less sexual with those two. Its a bit confusing :/
But your not alone :)

I've been loosely identifying as asexual for a little while, too. I've never felt any physical attraction to anyone; no desire to kiss someone, for example. I've never had any actual desire to engage in any type of sexual act with anyone.
Asexual people do find relationships, don't you worry. There are always other asexuals and maybe people who wouldn't be so bothered by it. :)

I know exactly how you feel. : ) Though it's not very common, it can happen. I'm sure you will find somebody to call your own.

Well its definitely not that common but there are people like you, I myself find people attractive but not from the flesh but from personality. And sex isn't exactly that appealing to me I guess you would say, I would much rather be happy with someone and be able to just cuddle, watch movies, play games, and have an actual life with someone then have a sexual partner. Life is so much more then sex, and sex is usually the thing the ruins a perfect relationship and I find it to be so rediculous. So many people are so judgemental that having a normal relationship is a job sometimes. You are completely normal in my opinion and I respect asexual people.

Exactly! :) I think relationships built on sex usually end because that was the attraction and the personalities did not mesh in the other areas. Many men will do things to get some booty but if that runs out he/or she shows the try colors and it comes to an unpleasant end.
I believe you must be very very good friends before sex can be introduced:yes:

Very true, I believe you should fall in love with someone by their personality alone before sex is even introduced into any relationship c:
