Peer pressure

Nope, which I'm thankful about especially with the incredible amount of bad luck I get these days. But I don't envy those who are pressured, it seems like such an incredible ball ache to have that pushed onto you day after day.

My friends occasionally try, but much to their dismay, I go at my own pace as far as relationships go. I'm sure my mother would try to pressure me even more, but well, I have trouble getting a hold of her these days, and would not want the conversation to turn that direction anyways. Its tough trying to explain asexuality to a conservative west virginian. "Gee, mom. I'm not spreading my genes yet because I do not make sex an aspiration, or even an end goal, and I generally have a tough time relating on a sexual level with girls who I am not emotionally connected to. And that just so happens to be most normal girls who everyone thinks is hot for some reason. Don't worry, I'm still attracted to females, so I'm not gay or anything, not that there should be any problem if I was-" And suddenly I spend the rest of the night trying to convince her non-sober mind that I'm not angry at her or conspiring to upset her. ^^;

Tbh I've never felt pressured into a relationship by friends (don't have any) but my mom she's alway talking to me about going out finding girls to talk to or possibly date because all I do is stay home all day play with my dog and play video games. I know she worries about me and I know I have disappointed her AND my sister but it's really hard when no one wants to talk to you. But I eventually learned to just not care and when it does cross my mind I find a way to entertain myself.

sometimes, however I don't pay too much mind to it. it'd be nice to fulfill at least one of their wishes so perhaps i'll meet someone they will approve. my parents aren't getting any younger, that's for sure

I used to a lot and still do some. I have to say I enjoyed the look on moms face when I told her my doctor finally stopped trying to talk me out of getting a vasectomy. Payback is a bitch...
