So, I just came across this thread on AVEN where someone listed a bunch of potential dating/friend-finding sites that Aces could find useful. I’m posting the list here for all of you who may want to check them out. Keep in mind that I have not road-tested all of these yet.
- Acebook – Formerly (?) A-Date; is a free dating site for asexuals, including integrated forums and chat software. .
- Affectionate Friends is “a different kind of dating site”, made for people (not necessarily asexuals) who want to share time and affection without worrying about sex or commitment.
- Asexual Pals is an informal introduction service that brings together asexual and celibate people for romantic and platonic relationships.
- Asexualitic describes itself as “the first free dating site for asexual people”, although technically it was released after the creation of A-Date, which is also free.
- Celibate Passions is a dating and networking site for celibate people looking for platonic relationships. It comes with chat, message boards, and email.
- Platonic Partners is a website celebrating celibate, platonic relationships, and allowing users to meet other like-minded people without the stresses of having to sexually perform. They are asexual-friendly and come with health resources and a newsletter.
There was a review of dating sites done by apatheticasexual, for those who are interested.

OR Experiences romantic/sexual attraction rarely, not strongly enough to act on, only under specific circumstances, or fluctuates between periods of experiencing attraction and not experiencing it.
