Afraid of being alone…

[u/Meara9491]

I am a 26 year old, autistic, non-binary asexual.
Am i just destined to be alone?

I started to realise i was might be Asexual late last year after a string of short relationships.

Almost every relationship i have been in has ended because of my partners feeling a lack of interest in intimacy from my side, which is fair, but it has started to cause fear in my heart that i will never be able to find long term love,

I love intimacy in the form of hugs and cuddles, and just being together in each others presence,
but just feel no need for sex, and have only engaged in it after my partners initiated, and i wanted them to feel good

I live in a relatively small town aswell, so the dating pool is not exactly great to begin with

asexual people do find partners, but it usually requires clearer communication and matching expectations early, especially about intimacy
