I spent the two-hour-long train ride home absolutely bewildered at what just happened. How could someone that I had been talking to for a whole month prior to that be so different?We lost contact for a while afterwards, occasionally responding to each other's Instagram stories every now and then.It was only during the pandemic that we reconnected through a photography club at University. She explained that she was anxious about the date and the idea of commitment at that time. The date was long behind us at that point though, and we were able to spend months building a connection without the pressure of "a tinder match" behind it.
Erica's asexual identity was something that took me a while to understand. I hadn't noticed her asexuality being a barrier against intimacy or affection in our relationship, even when we were long-distance.
