Hi everyone!
And welcome once again to
week 2 of Southpaw Saturday!
Though, I'm actually filming this
on a Friday, but- we can pretend (shhh!)
So, before I begin with
the "serious" discussion, I've provided a brief skit
that sort of sums up all of my
Ah...
romantic relationship experience (Roll!)
"Hey- whassup girl?" Um, well, my fish just died and- "Cool, cool, ANYWAY, I think we should date"
I know, you're speechlessÉ with my awesome.
But I don't even know you...
Yeah, but you'll get to know me *wink*
Um, nothing personalÉ it's not YOU, it's-
If you say what I think you're gonna say, all that "it's not you, it's me" crap, I'll cry, you'll just break my heart
Um, I don't have time to dateÉ "Surely you take study breaks, weekends?"
Yeah, actually, I study all the timeÉ I'm studying right now!
I'll change that with you- C'mon, we'd be good together
JustÉ..no.
So yeah, it it just so happens that I've never been in a relationship
yetÉum
I've met people who I've wanted to be in relationships with, butÉ
I don't really want to
compromise with sexuals,
sooo
being in a relationship with an asexual, I think that would be fantastic!
And...
it hasn't happened yet, maybe one day,
I think for now friendships are enough
at least, I hope friendships are enough
I've made some really great friends in the ace community
and umÉyeah!
So! Something I actually really wanted to discuss today
is the concept of a
"romance drive"
Now
I really liked how Aim
in that video, Aim discussed
really good definitions for
*** attraction and romantic attraction
so, you should go watch that.
Then, Otherness talked about the sex drive and how even in
***-*** relationships some people have
high sex drives, some people have a low sex drive, and that's often an issue in those relationships
And I was talking to Ally as well about
the concept of a "romance drive"
because it
makes complete sense that
if there's a sex drive
wouldn't there also be a romance drive?
So maybe
aromatics, they have no
or an extraordinarily low romance drive and then other people have really high romance drives
I think personally I'm somewhere in the middleÉwhere do you guys think you fit on the romance drive scale?
Good question!
Anyway...
I suppose my personal view of relationships is
I don't NEED a
relationship
I'm not one of those people, obviously, who
are all
"I can't be
without a relationship"
I sort of feel bad for
those people, but I do understand because, for me sometimes
I don't think
friendships
are quite enough
sometimes
I sort of- I feel
lonely
kind of like
I want someone to experience life with
that kind of person, but
I'm also really young
at this point in my life
so if a relationship happens one day, then it happens and if it doesn't,
it doesn't
I'm not particularly concerned
about that.
Anyway, I guess I really liked everyone else's videos that I've seen so far
which were all far more informative than mine
and, um, I hope that
maybe one day I will have
relationship experience to talk to you guys about
but I hope you got something out of this video
even if it's just the whole
"romance drive" issue- I think it's kinda cool
Sooo
Please, leave me some comments or questions or any information you have
and make sure to watch everybody else's videos because they were really good this week (you guys were awesome!)
I'm really glad to
be a part of this- thank you so much
for watching, take care
have a great weekend
see you all next week!
OH- that's right!
That's a problem- I might not be here next week because I'm going to be in
Yellowstone on a family vacation
and I'm getting back on Sunday
so I don't
know if...
I should post a video when I get back Sunday night?
Or if I should let an alternative
person vlog
but,
you can write
in the comments
what you think
I should do, if you wanna see a video next week- I dunno, so take care!
Bye!! ^___^
