I know a self proclaimed lover boy is a red flag, but one in practice is wanted. How do I show I am one while not setting off alarms?

Of course! I don’t, however I do try to make it clear my love language is physical touch and that it’s important to me, and I’ve been told that it’s an ick. Im sure some guys use it as an excuse for sex, however I’ve been in relationships without it and it’s miserable. Any better way to convey that?

It's really hard to say because most women have had experiences with past relationships where their partners love language is "physical touch" but is really and ends to sex. Me personally due to my past I find it super overwhelming and triggering with alot of touching, with that said. You just have to find a girl who also is equally into physical touch, cuz most of the time it comes across as wanting sex which isn't your fault it's just a hard line to figure out

Yea I figured lol, but it really helps to hear it like that. Honestly I get worried that I have a dying love language and get scared I’ll never have a relationship with it, but that’s bc it’s always seen as a major red flag… thank you for seeing it as something a human wants. It means a lot (:

If it makes you feel any better it just took me a long time to warm up to it with my current partner and now I'm constantly all over him, but at times when starting a new relationship you don't know someone that well and it can be scary. Don't give up! You deserve to love on your partner as much as you want

I wanna share my perspective as someone who is asexual but physical touch is also very big for me. I would encourage you to be physically affectionate without it turning into a full blown make out sesh or sex. Things like holding hands, cuddling, forehead kisses, a kiss on the cheek,etc. Sometimes I can feel like a guy only wants me for sex if any small gesture of affection turns into more. (And I’ve heard some women who aren’t asexual can feel this way too. )

For sure, my main this is having them lay on my chest and I kiss their head or rub their back. Or I just lay my head on them. It doesn’t have to be passionate, I just like them around me and I want them to want to be near me :3
