do yall think that on dating apps you should disclose that you are asexual? i just ask bc i have a friend who is asexual but doesn’t tell the people until like 3-4 weeks after they start talking and i know it all depends on what you are comfy doing

Yeah I think so. Because most people expect that most other people have some kind of sex drive, even if it’s a lower one. Some people might genuinely like her, but are stilling wanting a sexual connection to go along with a romantic one. I think it just has a negative effect on both of them if she doesn’t disclose it.

she’s trying to find like a bf or gf and she is a bit hurt by the fact that people keep ghosting after she tells them at the 3-4 week mark.

she asked me and i told her i don’t know and that it depends on what she’s comfortable doing which is probably not a helpful answer

The right person will understand, my friend is aroace and the guy she was seeing was very accommodating to that. It’s also depending on how she says it, how it comes up in the convo. I mean I wouldn’t disclose that I’m possibly ace bc then people are like “no sex ever” and call it a day.

Because then you get into a gray area (pun intended) where it’s like ‘oh I keep getting rejected well I don’t tell people’ and then the longer you wait the more it’ll sting.
