I remember somewhere in my late teens or early 20s, seeing a Cranberries music video and realizing that I was entranced by the way the female lead singer was bouncing around and dancing in the exact same way I was entranced by Michael Stipe's bopping around in a couple of REM videos, and being momentarily confused. Eventually I came to the conclusion that it meant nothing because really I just like watching both of them dance in their offbeat, slightly awkward way, like they just don't care what anyone thinks of them.

And then there was the point a couple years later where I spent all night on the internet looking up pictures of this female j-pop singer because I could not get over how stunning her eyes (or more probably, the way she did her eye makeup) were, and no one seemed to believe me when I said it WASN'T a sexual attraction thing - I just found her eyes really aesthetically beautiful. I second-guessed for a bit, but no - I really genuinely did not want to do her. Or even kiss her or anything. I just wanted to stare at her eyes.

And not too long after that was the point when a female friend confessed she had a crush on me, and it occurred to me that I had been feeling the exact same way about her that I had felt about every guy I'd dated, so I tried to imagine doing anything physical with her, and was like "...Ew. Nope."

But then realizing that trying to imagine doing anything physical with the guys I'd dated also got that reaction was what really started things clicking for me that I was asexual.
