...See more Hi, I'm new to this site and kind of new to the idea of being asexual. I used to wonder about it, but not seriously, until recently when I got into my first relationship. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm hetero-romantic asexual, because I do really like my boyfriend in a romantic sense, but anything physical beyond hugging, hand holding, cuddling, etc. makes me really uncomfortable. We haven't been together long and the furthest we've gone is kissing, but when we do, I don't feel anything and will be wondering how long until it can stop. Which has led me back to thinking I'm asexual. So now I feel like I'm in this dilemma where I feel like I need to talk to him about what I'm thinking and feeling before we get too deep into the relationship, but I have no clue how to do something like that. I really like him, but I'm worried that telling him about these things will be a deal breaker for the relationship. If anyone has any advice, stories, or even just words of encouragement, it would be much appreciated! I'm really looking forward to meeting and talking with people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. Thank you!
