Welcome to Gaia! ::

How many people in this guild want to have a compainion. You know like a girlfriend/boyfriend only without the sex? How many of you were preffer to remain single? What are your thoughts on this subject?

I don't know, really, not even enough to vote xp

I feel somewhat alone and left out when thinking of romantic pairings and life with someone special, but I've never dated anyone or had a significant other, so i really don't know whether i'm suited to that or not...

I like to be alone most of the time. My happiest time in my life was when I lived all alone in a flat above a shop. I did everything whenever I wanted and all I had to worry about was whether I had enough money to feed my cat.

But there were times when I got lonely and wished someone else was there (usually after finding a moth that needed squishing - urgh I hate moths) and I hate that my friends put their partners before me. I'd quite like to do it to them, see how they like being blown off. But I don't miss other people often enough to be in a relationship. I will crave company, maybe, once a fortnight.

Which is not really fair for the other person.

I wish I had a friend to bond with. You know, in real life, I have many friends that I talk to, but I'm more intimate with the people I know on the Internet.

I'd just like that one person that I know better than anyone else. One. That alone would be enough.

It kind of feels like I'm missing another half of me. I can exist on my own, yes, but it'll be lonely and boring. I know that i'll end up talking to myself because I need to talk with other people. I'd die without social interaction.

No, I'm not a social bee; in fact, I'm very far from being one. I rarely attend social events, speak little in class, and glue my butt to my computer chair as soon as I get home from school. But I do realize the importance of social interaction. I rely on other people (aka beaucracies) for business matters and things of that sort. But it would be nice if...I don't know. I'm just kind of rambling here. I wish I could talk to someone about all my troubles and whatnot.

lol yeah, but a romantic relationship doesn't neccesarly have to include sex. Mine doesn't.

Eh, I was in a reallty strong and depp relationship with a girl whom I'd only known for a month. It was a relationship born of paradise with no sexual overtones of any kind. I'd quite like to repeat that experience. I'm not that great at keeping everything straight that needs to be done, so a companion would be pretty important for me on that aspect as well.

I'd have to say yes, but it wouldn't be fair on the other person. Not only would they have an asexual on their hands, I'm also rather emotionally unstable and prone to irrational mood swings.

As for putting their S.O. before me, my friends haven't really got a chance. I'm too...intrusive? I'm very hard to ignore and I'll just do what I want regardless, within reason. For example, a friend of mine went to the prom with his girlfriend but ended up spending about half the night dancing with me and the rest with his other friends.

That's another reason I don't have a boyfriend. I'm so used to just doing what I want, I never bother to actually ask them out. And I've only ever agreed to go out with one person and that lasted for a grand total of four days (didn't see him for three), and I think was when I first realised (subconsciously) that I was asexual. But when the people I'm close to do get girlfriends, I tend to get a little jealous... usually they haven;t asked me out either, so I've no idea if I would have said yes. Which makes it somewhat worse.
