How To Date as a Demisexual

Take it one step at a time. Not everyone you meet has to be a potential partner. You can still use dating apps or strike up conversations in everyday life with people you could potentially be attracted to. The difference is that your intention is to get to know them first to see if a connection exists.

One way you can help increase the chance of having a connection is by specifically looking for people who you have shared interests and hobbies with.

If you do fall for a friend, know that there’s nothing wrong with that. As difficult as it can be, it’s generally better to vocalize your feelings with no expectations than to hold them in and have them potentially affect that friendship in negative ways.

The reality is that it may take more time to find someone, but when you do, you’ll already have a deep connection established that you can grow a relationship from.

How To Date a Demisexual

Know that sex may not be the priority at the beginning of the relationship. Instead, you can help your new partner become more comfortable and let their attraction grow by focusing on building your connection through quality time and intentional communication.

How To Tell If a Demisexual Likes You

What about if you want to date someone who’s demisexual? The biggest piece of advice here is to be patient as some may only want to have sex once they’re in a committed relationship.

Even if the person you’re dating doesn’t feel ready for sex, they may still want to cuddle or experience other forms of intimacy, especially emotional intimacy.

Through communication.

If you want to avoid rejection with a demisexual person, you may need to be cautious.

They may show interest like others do: flirting, eye contact, wanting to be around you, but ask them.

How Long Does It Take for a Demisexual To Fall in Love?

There is no right answer.

Every person is different and every relationship is different. Love takes time to build no matter who it’s between.

One of the big distinctions with demisexuals is that they likely won’t be distracted by lust or temptation. They’ll already have an established connection with someone when they start dating or having sex with them. The love they have may feel more genuine – even if it takes longer to build.

At the end of the day, everyone and every relationship has their own pace. This process needs to work for you and whoever you choose to be in a relationship with.
