I'm a 26 year old single mum and I am asexual (an odd combination, I know). The problem is that, because I'm a mother, my friends and family assume that my last relationship 'scarred' me, and now I avoid it because I'm too scared of getting hurt. I attempted to date again in the vain hope that they were right, but they're not. I am, what I am.
My friends don't accept this and are constantly trying to set me up and get me to change my mind. My Mother just looks sad when it comes up. How do I convince them that I'm not a man-hater, I'm not gay, I'm not scarred, and I'm not scared? I'm just not interested in sex or having a relationship. They find it inconceivable that my mind never strays to the only thing they deem fit to discuss most of the time...
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
