Does anyone else here feel an aversion or disinterest toward persuing a romantic relationship? Sex is increasingly unappealing to me, but love (as in romance) is even more so. You might say I'd rather have sex than fall in love, and I don't want to have sex.
So, um, yeah. Anyone else? Or, you know, you could just share something about yourself along those same lines.

There are plenty of asexuals that feel that they're aromantic. Go post at AVEN or at mySpace's asexuality group. You'll find people that doesn't find love or sex appealing at all.

I want to fall in love. I'm just afraid of its negative aftereffects.

There's an asexuality group at Myspace? I can't find it. I think Myspace should have "asexual" as an option in the profiles though.

Honesty is everything in a relationship. I usually tell people that I'm asexual during second or third date (no later than third). Sure people are a bit freaked, but they seem to be able to handle it pretty well.
And I do give in sometimes... neutral

I want to fall in love but I don't know if it is possible. I have the personality of a misanthrope and that doesn't help things.

Well, I am in love and I have been for five years.
Then again, maybe I don't count... I don't exactly know if I'm 100% asexual. :/ It's reeeeeally confusing.

Hmm... I always thought I was aromantic until I realised it was possible to have an asexual relationship. It was just that I felt an aversion towards the kind of romance popular media makes out is the only kind that exists - it seemed some unpleasant, shallow thing based on physicality with trust and real love coming far behind in importance. The chances of finding one are probably low, and I'll get along just fine if I don't since I'm quite used to being alone, but I would love to find a lifelong companion of the non-sexual sort.
It's hard to define "aromantic" so I don't know if I'd use it now.

Well, for me, I wouldn't say that I am aromantic. It seems that anyone I'm ever even slightly interested in, I just end up being really good friends with. Mainly, I just can't distinguish the kind of love best friends have for each other, and the kind that bf/gf have. I personally think that all love is the same, and that the only thing that separates the different types is what is accompanying it. That's just my opinion, of course.

Really weird. Everyone experience asexuality differently from one and another. I can definetely distinguish friendship between friends and a partner. Intimacy, the closeness, the openess, the longing each minute of seperation, the way his left eye squintes each time he laughs... I just don't feel a desire to have sex. That's all.

Ugh, I'm the exact same way! That's actually the main reason why I'm accused of being one of those notorious "late bloomers" so much. Silly hormonal teenagers. gonk

Love.. No. No sex nor love. Love is so shallow it just ain't worth it and sex is repulsive. >.< There has been several times when I've thought I was in love, but it turned out to be the "best-friend-love" kind. So I don't really bother. *shrug*

Well he said best-friend-love, right? So there's companionship.
I'd want the person I loved to be my best friend (maybe more, but I wouldn't be that fussed).
I'm not too bothered by the thought of living alone. Sometimes it sounds more appealing than living with someone. So as long as I have close friends, I'm not bothered about anything more.
Love intrigues me, but some aspects also seem a little off-putting. That 'bittersweet' notion...heartbreak.
I've suffered emotional stress in a physical way before, and if if I get like that over friends, I don't even want to imagine what heartbreak is like.
But there's time yet, there's time yet.
