Not pretended, but when I was dating, I’d say yes to a first date with anyone who seemed vaguely compatible. I’d try to make some chemistry happen. It didn’t.
It’s 50/50 ya know. It either works or not. I’ve experienced both kind of relationship and the most important stuff is to working out your issues together. Basically, just because there’s 10-20% of shit that needs to be worked on that doesn’t mean that you’ll throw that 80-90% away.
Wow are you me??? Do you identify as asexual? How have you navigated things this way? It’s for me…humans are social animals, right? So I have a very deep need for connection and intimacy…just not of the sexual or romantic kind. So it’s a struggle to be in such a fringe group of seemingly contrasting needs that aren’t compatible with 99% of the world.

Have you ever succeeded in the chemistry part?
Nope. I thought maybe I could find chemistry with people if I got to know them better, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. At least for me.
