    Not quite figuratively yet, but certainly literally in the case of this forum.

    Um... I'm a 20 year old college student trying to figure out if I'm a lesbian or asexual. I figure talking to other people about their experiences can't hurt, and we can probably learn from each other along the way.

    Currently, if you have any stories about how you "realized" or "just knew" your sexuality, that would be really helpful, because I'm trying to figure out if I have ever felt sexual attraction of any sort.

    So... yeah. Hello!

    I like the ice-cream analogy, though it does make me hungry. Particularly for ice-cream

    Hi Halcyon! (*hug*) Welcome so much to EC! I know that EC has been hugely helpful for me, so I just know that you'll find it helpful for you too. (&&&) If you ever wanna chat, feel free to hit me up, but be warned, I'm a bit of a music junkie. And hey, I'm a college student starting next week myself, so busy craziness will be something we'll both have in common! LOL! :slight_smile:

    Thanks! I might have to take you up on that offer xD. Just keep in mind that I'm weird when it comes to music, and I usually pick and choose my favorites despite liking everything. Maybe you'll teach me a thing or two!

    Oh, that's OK! I like a lot of european, symphonic metal bands with female lead singers, so yep, you might just discover a couple of new bands! And I used to work in the music industry in Windsor/Detroit, so I've come across a lot of weird! Wish I still lived there!

    European metal bands? Do you like Lafee then? I originally found her when I was trying to learn German, but her music is still awesome.

    I know what you mean about wishing you still lived somewhere-- I studied over in Norway, and sometime I wish I was back there with their fresh air. And then I remember their winters xD

    Welcome! There are a ton of "I feel asexual but I think I might be gay" stories all over this site, so I think you'll find tons of people who relate to the situation that you're in.
