[Face Up.]

Queer A-spec person here! I'm also kind of on the same boat of not really knowing...a lot about it?
For me, I try to remind myself that falling in love isn't my thing, but that's okay. I may have roommates in the future, or maybe not. Or heck, I'd be really happy with a dog!


The point is, I always try to tell myself that even though I won't have someone with me in that lovey-relationshippy way, or at least it doesn't seem that way right now, it doesn't mean I will be alone. I will still have things to fill my day with. I'll have coworkers at work. I'll have friends that I can call and try and make plans with. Just because people are married, shouldn't mean that they have no time at all for anything or anyone else. Sure they may be busier and sometimes things may need to be rescheduled, but still.

I just kind of brush it off when people give me the whole "When are you going to start dating?" spiel because I don't want to get into it and I don't want to explain what being ace means. I just kinda say "haha yeah" and let it run its course, because the conversation won't last that long anyway most of the time. And I'll be happy for whoever is entering a relationship/having a baby/etc, but that's just not for me.

I don't know if this helped at all but I hope it did!
