(Another ace anon) wow, this was so detailed and well-explained.

AYRT's question made me think back on it, and I definitely had (very passionate) crushes growing up but I just feel like the nature of it wasn't quite the same as an allo's. If asked whether I would like to date them or not, I would be like "if they want to, that's nice!". Because I was happy to be liked by whom I liked but it really wasn't the end-all for me, far from it. And if they only wanted sex because they found me attractive, even though I should probably be flattered, I would have been sad or even "offended" not because they're calling me a whore or whatever but because that's not what I wanted at all so I would feel misunderstood. To put it shortly I wouldn't feel "offended" by being friendzoned, for instance. And I definitely experienced intense squishes too.

So, not at all incapable of feeling... anything for other people (if anything, I feel too much) but it was never romantic or sexual in essence, though it's hard to describe how I know it, like, telling my friends about my crushes they'd be like "and then what?" but it's the end of the story and it was as good as any to me .. That, and being legitimately uninterested in other people's stories of sexual encounters unlike the rest of your same-aged friends (both at school and online, which made me realize "wait... something is off and maybe I am not just Super Slow").
