I always expected to date someone who identifies as asexual. I thought it'd be easier that way. But at the same time, it's difficult to actually find people who are openly asexual (and who are compatible with me). My S/O was aware that I considered myself asexual two years prior to asking me out, and I reminded them after we started dating. It currently causes no issues for us, but I'm aware it could cause some in the future. I don't feel like a possible issue is good enough reason to break it off with my S/O though, so I'm going to take this relationship one day at a time.
