Hi, so...
I identify as grey-sexual but I'm dating a guy. A lot of people question our relationship because he identifies as gay. I did A LOT of research before coming out and I came to the conclusion that I am a hetero-romantic grey-sexual. A lot of people, for lack of a better word, b**ch at me about it because they don't think my sexual identification is real. But, from the research I did I found out that there is a difference between sexual and romantic attraction, and that typically when people talk about their sexuality they are referring to the sexual attraction portion.
Also, people say my relationship is fake just because, as I mentioned earlier, my boyfriend identifies as gay. I am the only "female" (I'm bi-gender) he is attracted to, but people don't believe him. The thing is, it's similar to being grey-sexual, so...shouldn't it be accepted the same way?
What do ya'll think? Do you believe there is a difference between sexual and romantic attraction?
What is your opinion on being attracted to the same sex and only one person of the opposite sex? Or being attracted to the opposite sex but only to one person of the same sex?
And in that scenario, what would be the best way to identify yourself? As bisexual? Grey-sexual? Etc.
