I would say it’s just fine to have characters in a story, or a whole story that is completely uninterested in finding love for whatever reasons.

I think to a certain extent dividing and sub-dividing the question of romance and sexuality isn’t necessary. It’s only been in recent years (relatively speaking) that people have searched so hard to try and find a label for every aspect of human sexuality.

What I’m trying to say (“trying” is a good word for me, lol) is that maybe this question isn’t something you need to worry about in your story. I would advise you to just write your characters however they want to be written, and does it really matter if you call them “asexual” or “not interested”? Maybe they’re just content with continence.

I agree with what you’re saying, I guess it was just the topic of conversation so I got on board with it  but honestly, the sexuality and romance of my characters is the least of my concerns (at this rate there may only be one big love story). My characters aren’t defined by who they’re attracted to, so its definitely not a question that I’m very concerned with 🙂

Also, on a totally unrelated note: Do you recognize these lyrics? I’m learning a song and I thought of you. This is verse one:

Bimse buan ar buairt gach lo,
Ag caoi gi crya is ag touar na ndeor
Mar scaoileadh uaim an buachaill beo
us ba ruinhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhron

Thats Mo Ghile Mear! One of my favourite Irish songs. It was written in the 17th century during the Jacobite uprising and its basically a lament that Bonnie Prince Charles never became king. There was this whole civil war in Great Britain because Charles was meant to be king, but he was Catholic. The Scottish and Irish supported him but the English didn’t, thus war erupted. Sorry that was a random history lesson lol

Aw I’m glad that it made you think of me haha😄 Irish songs are my favourite and actually play a big part in the magic system of my story
