Saw this article about asexuals and felt some resonance. I've lost my interest in dating, sort of...
I'm not interested, unless there's a real possibility of a wonderful lively relationship with large sexual compatibility. Otherwise, why waste my time?

The more I've dated the more I know what I like and what I don't. Frustrating because I have BFF girls that I adore but the spark isn't there. I've also had girls who all we had was spark. Is it too much to ask for to want both?

In my marriage, I was beginning to feel like an asexual, which is why I got out. It wasn't me, it was the lack of interest on my wife's part. I finally started saying Why bother? That's when I knew there was something really wrong. Because normally I'm a horny bastard.
I know this isn't really the definition of asexual, but the apathy towards meaningless relationships feels similar.
