How am I supposed to date as an asexual introverted 24 y/o man? Been on dating apps for months and I haven’t gotten a single match, and going out to meet ppl scares me… Am I doomed?

    Dating apps are shit because they force you to choose labels to describe yourself which can only describe so much and always ends up with a pedantic conversation involving terms that we only came up with recently. The way I’ve tried to go about it is instead of trying to foster a romantic (or aromantic) relationship directly just go out and try to make friends. Making friends is like dating in that you learn about other people a little at a time but without the giant elephant in the room that being Ace can be. Once you know people a bit better then making the next move of trying to date each other is way easier because you have an understanding and know how to talk to each other.

    But keep this in mind too you are you and you are amazing without the need for someone else. Good luck friend
