coming to terms with being asexual

i am a sex repulsed asexual. in my case, that is someone who experiences romantic attraction, but not sexual attraction, and is averse to any and all sexual contact with another person. its a spectrum; some asexual people ARENT sex-repulsed and DO choose to have sex for the pleasure or feeling of connection with their partner. this is not me.

i know i will be alone for a very long time especially as sex is a big expectation in a romantic relationship for most people. im going to university in september and im worried about dating because... well... nobody wants 2 date an asexual except other asexual people, and asexual people are so hard to come by. the one time i met an asexual guy irl, we werent compatible personality wise at all. at least im biromantic!! there are more asexual women than men so ill have better luck stumbling across an asexual woman.

i have tried dating. asap, i inform the person im talking to that im asexual. this never goes down well and date plans are never made after. ive heard some creative responses to me being asexual. "asexual? like a plant?" "have you had your hormones checked?" "are you a victim?" "do you masturbate?" "youre so hot, its such a shame". i understand its comng from a place of curiosity (and judgment), but some of the things ive heard are very invasive. now, i dont mind answering questions if someone is genuinely trying to understand, but im not going to answer the same invasive, sexual questions every. single. time.

are there any other asexuals lurking in the blogs? anyone with well-intentioned questions about asexuality? posting about this in a public blog is scary as accepting this part of myself has been difficult and id like to know im not alone. :)
