[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an asexual kid who says the same as yours (never had a crush on a boy or a girl) but does identify as gay as well because says if they did have crush it would be with same sex. I just roll with it. As the PP says, they can still have romantic or companion relationships and have children. etc if they desire. It doesn't impact me, so I just support and who knows what will materialize as they age! [/quote]

This is the approach I would take as well and to let them know if they ever wanted to talk through it with a therapist, and needed help paying, I'd be happy to help.

I would never identify myself as "asexual", but, I do have a low sex drive and mostly married for friendly companionship and to have children. My husband also has a low sex drive, so, we are compatible in that way and many others. I think your kid is very young, and I would just encourage her to put herself out there to make friends and to not worry about having a relationship, but also not rule it out. She has lots of time to focus on education and career first, not worrying about a relationship.[/quote]
